Here are 7 reasons to quit your job and live on your narrow boat
This article
is for anyone contemplating a life on the UK waterways, away from their office
job, boring day to day routine, wanting to jump out of the rat race and go where you can do what
you love best - cruise every day!
Apart from
maybe living near the ocean, nothing quite compares to a life on the UK waterways.
7. It beats
working every day for a living:
So there maybe some sacrifices and you may need
to take on a less glamorous and lower paid job, but knowing you are living the
dream on your narrow boat everyday will more than make up for being tied to
your desk job week in week out. There’s more to life than going to work and
paying the bills!
6. It’ll
make all your friends jealous:
Think how your friends will feel as they start
their working day doing the same routine day in day out and you will be
starting your day in a new location with a new adventure just around the next
bend. Feels good doesn't it? Don’t forget
to share your new adventures via social media so they can see just how good
life is on the waterways.I wonder how
long it will be until they quit their jobs too?
5. Living
for now, being in the moment:
You want to do it and you enjoy doing it so why
wait till you are old and grey? Live life for now, don't wait for the future,
stop making excuses or allowing others to talk you out of it. You love cruising
and want the simple life style boating offers, so go for it. There’s nothing
stopping you but YOU.
4. The
picture says it all:
Really, we could have pursued you to do it with just this picture.....
3. You get
to be that person you want to be:
With the freedom of having no ties you are
able to live a more simple and care free life. Material things become less
important and your quality of life improves by embracing the simplicity of life
on the waterways. There’s so still so much pressure on us all to have the
latest gadget, new car, 5 star holiday and designer gear, but on the waterways
none of this matters. Imagine not having to keep up with the Joneses and just
doing what you love.
2. Who knows
what's around the next corner:
The thing is, none of us know what lies ahead of
us so why wait? If you want to do it then grab it by both hands and go for it.
Life's too short not to do what makes you happy, we only get one chance at life
so make the most of it.
Yes it might seem a bit scary and radical but what's
the worst that could happen? You do it for six months to a year and then IF it
doesn't work out (and it will) you can go back to your old life. At least you
can say you did it and you won't sit there in the future saying "I really wish I'd given it ago"
1. You get
to cruise every day:
Come on, you have to agree that has to be the best reason
ever. Just live your dream and head to the waterways. Don't daydream it, do it! With
over 2000 miles of canals to explore there’s plenty of adventures to be had. Come
and join the thousands of over boaters who have taken the plunge, there's room
for more of you.
