Reintroducing myself

Hello, I'm Kim Davis, editor of Extraordinary Jobs for Ordinary People, and author of The Yachtie Bible (out of print), and Crewing Aboard a Superyacht. My passion is helping other people find interesting work that allows them to travel at their employer's expense. That's what I did - working as a chef aboard a succession of gorgeous luxury yachts for 15 years. I stopped that line of work only when I had children - and I left that about as long as I could! To say the least I had a great time, and I'm a living tesiment to the fact that one does not have to follow the path laid out by one's family, teachers or anyone else. Today, I work from home as a freelance writer and web designer. I'm still circumventing "the system", and specializing in teaching others to do the same. In addition to writing about working aboard yachts for a living, I write about and publish other experts information about all sorts of other adventure related jobs. These inclu...

Stop Spam!

Stop Spam! I'm visiting that scambusters site again, and as I'm in the process of redesigning some of my own websites (for the umteenth time), I'm trying to make my online e-mail addresses less available to spam hijackers. Those nasty robots harvest e-mail addresses from the unwary, like me and you, who publish an e-mail address online. I periodically remind family and friends who know my REAL e-mail address, that I only use that one to send mail. I'm not going to publish it here! But any of the other e-mail addresses that are attached to my websites are fine to SEND mail to, but don't open anything that might come to you using one of those addresses. I've had to do this because my e-mail addresses have been harvested from my websites and abused repeatedly. Deleting those addresses doesn't help, it's too late after the fact. Now as added protection, I'm replacing all instances of the e-mail addresses with encrypted e-mail forms on my per...

Live Journal - The Wander Years

Live Journal - The Wander Years I think I've mentioned Timo before, but in case I have not done so, here's a recap. This guy is a twenty-something year old former game warden making his way over land from Scotland to New Zealand, where he intends to settle. He's making his way slowly, and intends to do the entire journey without the use of an aircraft. He stops to work as he's going along, and this week's update of his journey is particularly interesting for my newsletter readers due to the excellent summer job he's just taken in the Channel Islands. Timo is really living my idea of an adventure.
