We'd like to start travelling soon but need to find ways to fund our travels. What innovative businesses have you seen grey nomads run? What needs do you have that aren't being met? confuse

Welcome to the gang Luckypye, enjoy here and out in the playground.

Now, what's this work word?

If you are a Grey Nomad travelling around in the playground you need to know work hours. You can't start before 10.00am and must be finished by 12.00pm with a one hour break in between. Definitely NO working on weekends or public holidays.

 

Edit....I'm sure iPads have a mind of their own confuse

Sounds delightful! Not looking for full time work, but ideas of what skills are useful for making pocket money is a good start!

Some suggestions of work I have seen in my travels. Hairdresser, we all need haircuts while travelling. Massage, wouldn't I love one now.
Sewing repairs, if you have power or hand sewing. Selling crafts.
