THE BEST JOB IN THE WORLD

According to a study by Lanscaster University, 42% of employees do not have access to a window where they can see greenery. A workplace that is too bright, noisy or crowded increases stress and raises cortisol levels, which affect the way the whole body functions. This can lead to high blood pressure, headaches, obesity and coronary heart disease. Therefore, finding a place to work away from the hustle and bustle of the city and eliminating most of the stressors can improve physical and mental health. Some people are lucky enough to be able to combine work with relaxation and the adventure of a lifetime. By becoming an island caretaker. It's considered "the best job in the world".

Just as Briton Ben Southall managed to do in 2009

which competed in a competition organised by Australian Tourism and Events Queensland.
The promotional campaign targeted the whole world and was just titled 'The best job in the world'. At stake was a six-month contract as a Great Barrier Reef Island Keeper, and responsibilities included visiting over 100 islets of the Queensland area, publishing a blog, taking photos and videos (including while diving) and posting them on social media. Ben beat out more than 35,000 applicants from around 200 countries around the world and in the process had the adventure of his life (and made quite a bit of money too!). Sightseeing in the tropics, scuba diving and, in the evening, posting reports on social media - it really does sound like a dream job... Since then, campaigns of this type have appeared regularly and there is always some kind of call for an island guardian. There are also sometimes campaigns run privately by paradise island owners who are often 'not at home'.

Dreaming of regions other than the tropics? Such offers are also available.

Glaswegian Jonathan Grant gave up his job in construction to spend 13 years looking after three Scottish islands - Mingulay, Pabbay and Berneray. The last inhabitants left the islands in the 1980s. Therefore, aside from rare visits from adventurous tourists, Jonathan's companions have been mainly seals, sharks and seabirds such as mascons and razorbills. Jonathan would begin his work on the islands in April each year (getting there earlier is extremely difficult due to the weather) and finish in the autumn. His duties included surveying animal populations, assessing the general condition of wildlife and archaeological sites (ruins of former settlements) and reporting his findings to the National Trust for Scotland. Jonathan retired happily and said in an interview with the BBC: "It was the best job in the world for me. It's about time someone younger experienced it". So how about raw, majestic, beautiful Scotland?

So how about raw, majestically beautiful Scotland...?
