On the campsite Au Fil de LOo at Bagneres, I met this young man, who was temporarily living out of his surfer dude VW, basically kitted out, while he and his girlfriend, who was in the UK just then, bought an apartment next to the cable car station.
They really liked Bagneres from a previous visit, because of its proximity to skiing, beautiful countryside, Spain, the coasts, etc; Will is a remote worker so can work anywhere. He is a structural engineer designing steel mezzanine structures, and currently able to use the office of a British company which organises expeditions worldwide and happens to also be based in this small town. The prices to buy are 30% cheaper than in the UK so for them – why not.
As I write this, I realise there are loads more questions I’d like to ask about this ‘adventure’ for them. All very interesting.
