You will be working outdoors a lot of the time and are often offered only basic accommodation. You may not actually be earning a very high salary, but the job would suit reserved and independent people who love nature and are fascinated by the idea of living independently. You will certainly have a lot of free time to explore the territory and do outside sports like swimming and diving when the owners are away. It may sound like paradise for some, or a prison for others, as you make do with local wildlife for company.

C: Your living quarters should be very comfortable.

D: The job will attract sociable people as you meet many visitors.
