Hi Stew

 

After suffering a team member licencing challenge and some African headhunters, Team World Travellers is one member light. So in accordance with common practices on the Caribbean islands, Team World Traveller Plus is now open to a non-traveller ‘volunteer’ to make up a whole team. Remote islands preferred 😊

 

Terms:

• Fair pay and rations including fresh veg and salted beef
• Time off for good behaviour (but only after 10:00 UTC Sunday)
• I accept bribes

 

A few emails have also gone out too

 

Thanks

 

Colin (Bligh) ZF2CA
