Welcome to our new blog "Blue Sky No Tie" all about our experiences living and working in Turkey. The USP in this blog is that we will be home working or tele working for a large UK body whilst enjoying the delights of Turkey!
Myself and my wife (Iain and Suzanne) made a decision 2 years ago that we wanted to change our life style from one that was work focussed to one that we were able to fit in our own interests. The thing was we were so busy working we didn't have any interests or even many friends come to think of it! We approached our then employers and asked if we could have a year off to find ourselves. No was the answer....but we went anyway.
We moved out to Turkey where we spent a wonderful year. But, the world of work beckoned again and we returned in September 2005. My job was only a temporary role but the initial 3 months turned into 6 and then 12 as I was asked to say on. Suzanne, after working for a couple of organisations, secured a job with the same employer in the summer. But as time moved on so did our wish to return to all the friends and interests we had found in Turkey (more about them in the weeks and months to come). But this time instead of leaving the job I put forward a working proposal with a difference - one that involved working remotely - or home working as it is commonly called. Anyway, to cut a long, long story short we will shortly be starting our home working from Turkey.
So, come back and visit to find out how we are getting on and read all about our adventures along the way including driving down to Turkey in a £400 car, taking part in a wooden yacht regatta and all the other stuff we now do. You'll also have a chance to meet our new friends too.
