Making Long Term Plans
by
Dr Denise Taylor
|
Kitchen Conversations
In this video I talk about long term planning, and my interest in a later life gap year, to travel for a year (or more).
I share the plan I have. Do watch and let me know what you think.
Could you do something like this? It’s going to take a lot of planning, as I need to drastically reduce the amount of stuff I have.
