'Writing Inspired by an Island in the Atlantic'
Living the Dream
Do you dream of a better life, more money, less pressure at work, sunshine, beaches and blue skies? How can you achieve your dream?
Living the Dream is for those who plan to escape to another country, another climate and another lifestyle. It is a dream of opening a new chapter in life and to expose the reader to a new culture, a new pace and perhaps a new language. Living the Dream paints a picture of Barrie's real life experiences on an island in the Atlantic. Experiences that turn out to be hilarious, frustrating, unbelievable and heart warming, which are meant to entertain and amuse, as well as to encourage and support.
