Imagine catching the day’s sunrise as you ride up behind a mob of cattle on a motorbike; perhaps you’re a practical fix-it type who dreams of wide open spaces, fresh air and the chance to put your problem solving skills to work or maybe an office view that includes animals over colleagues and car parks.
