Can the lifestyle dream be made to work?

A Reader’s Digest survey found that the majority of city people dream of a lifestyle change.
Couple this with our love affair with the beach and demographer Bernard Salt considers it’s obvious why nearly 3 million Australians now live on the east coast of Australia (excluding capital cities), with almost another million expected to make the move by 2020.

So, what is the reality of making a significant lifestyle change such as this?
What are the opportunities — and the traps?

My course speaks from experience: I made the change in 2002 and I can tell you all about it — both the hazards and the highlights of taking the plunge. Don?t make the mistakes that thousands do by not doing their homework.

Other Information

Notes are provided with suggested website links included. I don?t just ?lecture?; my style majors on discussion while answering your questions with frank, insightful integrity. Bring your own research and together, with like-minded people, we?ll explore the realities of changing your lifestyle.

Please be aware that these seminars are based on my own experience and examples therefore chiefly apply to the north coast of NSW. However the principles remain the same and apply to any Sea/Tree Change throughout Australia.
