    Never had much opportunity to work abroad.
    We had a couple of weeks in Malta, and a couple in Germany with the boat show one year.
    As I get older I do hate the cold weather more and more. Especially with site work, as there is rarely any heat on.
    Plus, my regular clients would be pretty pissed, if I was unavailable for 6 months every year....

    I love the idea in theory at least…

    I’ve seen a few posts from (I think) an Australian company looking for fitters if you’re serious.

    Do you need any additional tickets for that ?
    I had a mate who did some work on the rigs, and I am sure he needed some offshore training.
