What’s better than having all the conveniences of home while you’re away?

Getting them for free.

We’re all about traveling more while spending less, and getting free accommodations is THE way to spend less. So what is it we did?

Housesitting

An ever-growing community of people who opens their homes to people in exchange for the knowledge that their property and sometimes pets will be well cared for in their absence.

Today Heather joins me as we run through some of the best tips and tricks on how to find your first housesit and once you get it, what to do next.

We had a great time housesitting in beautiful Breckenridge, Colorado and we want you to be able to get your own awesome housesitting gigs all over the world. Let us know where you’ll be applying to housesit in the comments below!
