Not only will you get out of the house, but you'll be able to get out of the country. To the Maldives to be specific.

And you'll be surrounded by clear blue seas and sunshine - all day, every day.

That sounds like a dream.

But what is the catch, you might be asking? Well, you'll have to be the 'Barefoot Bookseller', which means you will be running an island bookshop for six months.

Your duties will include managing the store, writing social media blogs about your experience on the island, while also running creative writing workshops.

Doesn't look too bad at all.

The bookshop is located at the Soneva Fushi resort in the Maldives, and they have partnered with a UK-based book collection and library provider.

Together they did the Maldives' first pop-up bookshop in 2018 and they hired the first Barefoot Bookseller.

So if you're looking for a job as the ultimate book-influencer, this might be it!
