I lived on one of Australia’s islands for FREE - only working 24 hours a week
An adventure-seeking woman has told how she lived for free on a 'heavenly' island off the coast of Australia - only working 24 hours a week. Sirirat Nensewicz, 27, stayed on the 18-acre Pumpkin Island in the Great Barrier off the coast of Queensland for two months. She would only work 24 hours a week, cleaning, gardening, and bar-tending around the island's eco-resort in return for free accommodation. Sirirat says she spent the rest of her time "laying in a hammock and swimming" on the island which has pristine beaches and amazing marine wildlife. The solo traveller said she would spend AU$400 (£200) a month - only forking out for her groceries and phone bill.
