Could definitely be worth looking into for some of you retired folks that want to travel.

I work with a guy "Digger" who's an Aussie ex-pat pro surfer. He relocated to Bali and spends 6 months working on shows and the rest surfing Bali.
He bought a duplex near the beach and rents one unit to a woman and her family who watches the place when he's gone and cooks and cleans for him when he's there. He said it runs him about $1,500-2k month to live like a King.
I said "I'll bet you have a great time with all of those Australian tourist gals visiting on vacation". His reply was "I don't even mess with those Shiela's mate. The local girls are the ones you want".
