Freedom ListGet Remote Jobs Here | Live & Work From Anywhere. Hi Reader A good house sit can start before you even walk through the front door.

Hi Reader Europe's Best Warm Autumn Escapes There’s something rather appealing about the idea of not just going away this autumn, but actually living somewhere else for a while.

Freedom ListGet Remote Jobs Here | Live & Work From Anywhere. Hi Reader An interesting topic we came across online this week was kicked off by a fellow Aussie preparing to move to London, UK. They asked whether house sitting was a good way to explore different neighbourhoods while looking for a job and somewhere permanent to live. At first, it sounded like a great idea.

Freedom ListGet Remote Jobs Here | Live & Work From Anywhere. Hi Reader One of the busiest conversations in our Facebook group this week was triggered by a sitter's challenging experience on a long-stay. They had arrived for a month-long house sit expecting the usual kitchen essentials. Instead, there was no kettle, no saucepan, no dishwasher detergent and very few everyday basics. After buying what they needed for the month, they wondered: Should they simply leave everything behind when they...

Freedom ListGet Remote Jobs Here | Live & Work From Anywhere. Hi Reader Summer might be Europe's busiest travel season, but after living in the UK as Aussie expats for over 10 years now, we've discovered that some destinations are actually better once summer ends.

Freedom ListGet Remote Jobs Here | Live & Work From Anywhere. Hi Reader Travel & House Sitting Reviews: Don’t Just Look at the Stars One of our biggest discussions in the Facebook group this week wasn’t about travel destinations or pets. It was about reviews. More specifically… If a house sit (or sitter) wasn’t terrible, but it also wasn’t great, would you leave less than five stars? The conversation quickly grew because people saw it from both sides. Homeowners worried about unfair...

Freedom ListGet Remote Jobs Here | Live & Work From Anywhere. Hi Reader 5 Small Wins That Lead to Bigger Adventures It’s been hard to avoid sport these past few weeks. Wimbledon has wrapped up for another year, and also here in the UK, millions of us were glued to the football as England took on Argentina in the World Cup semi-final.
