Wow thanks for all the info, that sounds great! And congrats on all the housesitting jobs you are landing :) I should really look into this, as I’m about ready to settle down into a slower travel style.

They are adorable! Well, that kitten isn’t adorable when it wakes you up in the middle of the night haha, but mostly her is :p

Yes, we’re really enjoying it. This is our first official one abroad – just did a few bits helping out here and there in the UK before. Amazingly though, we’ve got a 2 month one lined up after this and will be back at this very one in November. We’ve had to turn down about 7 already because their dates clash. It’s very popular over here in CR.

Where? I’m going to write a post about it eventually, but the quick answer is we had no luck on mindmyhouse.com, instead we got this one on Craigslist and we post in all the expat forums on Facebook with a link to our housesitting webpage. We also have a free ad in the local English newspaper online here.

House sitting seems like such a good option for travelling cheap and living local at the same time. For how long have you been doing the house sitting thing? And where do you find those gigs? It all sounds very interesting :)

It’s so wonderful that we don’t ever want to leave this house sit!! Haha, yes, I think you’re completely right. Hope you and Travis are well =)

While worrying about ones wine supply is a common problem, if it’s your only one that’s a great sign you’re doing something right :)

Thanks, Britt! It is awesome ;)

Yes, we were really lucky, though it took a lot of hard work too. There are actually a lot of opportunities for house sitting out here.
