Balancing work and travel

10 years ago

My girlfriend and I are moving to London next year, both on Tier 5 Visas. I know this may sound like many other naive beginner travellers/expats but we would really like to achieve a good balance between work and travel.

She is a Teacher and I work as a Town Planner. We figure that the teaching job will be a lot more flexible when it comes to travel opportunities (e.g. school holidays). However, when it comes to my work as a Town Planner I am not sure how to go about getting the time off to travel somewhat frequently (contract work, annual leave, part time all comes to mind).

We know we have to be realistic when it comes to getting the balance, but we don't want to turn our 'working holiday' into a Full Time work and nothing else.

Would like to know how others have funded their travels, whilst maintained steady work.
