Living in Ireland/UK and abroad options

MODS: Not sure if this is the correct forum - please move if necessary

I have recently sold my house, now renting
Debt-free and contributing to UK and Ireland state pensions, which I need to maintain
I'm considering buying a cheap house here and living cheaply somewhere warmer abroad each winter
I'm middle aged
I can manage my job from April to October in Ireland

I would retrain to work abroad just to pay the bills - should I do a tour guiding course, barbering or something else?

Where is good to live for the winter?

Would welcome opinions

    Depends on your skills and interests.

    Try Malta.

    Do you have sufficient knowledge of any particular country, their language and customs to be able to work as a tour guide, or a barber for that matter?

    Teaching English as a Foreign Language is the usual way to go.
    No longer a spouse, or trailing, but MSE won't allow me to change my username...
