A Working Vacation

Here is an idea for the adventurous! If you like to travel or experience new things, but you may not always have the funds, consider being a caretaker.

No rent, no mortgage, just an investment in a bi-monthly magazine called "The Caretaking Gazette". For $29.95 you will receive magazine that lists opportunities to take care of properties such as estates, lodges, mansions, farms, ranches, vacation homes and other kind of properties that the owners need help with. Every property owner needs to go on vacations sometimes, don't they? This is how they make sure that there is a caretaker while they are away.
