You’re craving that dolce vita. Your new profession will put you at the centre of community life in a small village in the middle of Puglia. You’ll soon know everyone’s regular order by heart and have it ready for them before they even come in. You’ll quickly adjust to a slower pace of life and forget about the woes of your previous life.

You’re a true water baby at heart, so you should escape your 9-5 lifestyle by returning to your roots and heading back to the coast. You crave the sound of the waves crashing, so owning and running a surf shack has been a dream of yours for many years. You’ll become the centre of a close-knit community of fellow surfers who love and respect the sea just as much as you do. You’ll swap conference calls for beach bonfire chats, and strategy meetings for helping to organise beach clean-ups.

You’re a people person deep down. Your office job afforded you a certain lifestyle, but one that you didn’t necessarily need, and while it was all fun and games for a while, you’re ready to make a change and scale things down. Owning and running your own B&B in Cornwall will be a great way to utilise those people skills, while indulge your senses with a bit more time outside exploring.

You don’t dream escape, instead you dream about putting yourself in the thick of it. You’ve always craved something more and going to Vegas and attempting to become a professional poker player might just be the buzz you’ve been searching for. The late night lifestyle might take some getting used to, but once you find yourself on a roll you’ll be living your dream.

Your year revolves around one thing: the ski season. So when you announced that you were going to take the leap and become a ski instructor it wasn't such a surprise to your loved ones. You'll love spending your days teaching others to love and respect the slopes the same way you do, so you won't ever regret making the change.

You always thought you’d end up making a job out of your passion, but life got in the way. You’ve always loved cooking, coming up with new menus, and experimenting in the kitchen – so running your own food truck in a new location would be a dream realised! You’ll make a name for yourself among foodies before gaining a loyal following. While you could expand your truck into a bricks and mortar restaurant, you love the freedom it gives you and how you get to interact with your community day in and day out.
