A woman who sold her house to buy a unit on a luxury cruise ship has spoken out about her untraditional decision.
59-year-old Mimi Bland from Buckinghamshire, England, decided to spend the rest of her life on the seas enjoying the warm breeze while getting to meet new people every day.
To achieve this kind of life, the woman sold her $600,000 property and bought one of the luxury $1 million cabins on MV Narrative, a residential cruise skip by Storylines.
Mimi also revealed that she wants to continue working as a mindfulness mentor while staying on the ship and getting to see the world.
“I want to see the world while working and without ever leaving the comfort of my own home and meet lots of other ambitious people who are looking for a new life of excitement and fun,” she explained.
“I am 60 next year and it is time for a re-set. I love my life helping highly successful executives to de-stress their lives and achieve a better work-life balance.
“But I realized that I needed to do that for myself and embark on an exciting new journey of adventure and discovery.”
Since life on the luxury boat will cost her an additional $60,000 per year in food and facilities expenses, Mimi will continue working to provide for herself.
Fortunately, the 59-year-old loves nothing more than working with people and meeting characters of all kinds.
“I cannot wait to set sail on the next phase of my life. I want to carry on working for as long as I can and I will do my mindset mentoring with residents on the ship and also with clients back home who see me online,” Mimi says.
“We are all living much more flexible lives and I realized I didn’t want to be pinned down to the same property for the rest of my life with ever rising bills. It is much more fun to take off to the seas.”
