Another option to consider for worldwide travel
Another option somewhat different than home exchanges, but allows for worldwide travel is pet and house sitting. My husband and I have been traveling around the world for the past 2 ˝ years since we retired – thanks to house and pet sitting. Spain (three times now), New Zealand (twice both times for six weeks), Australia for four months, Anguilla in the Caribbean for three months, two weeks in Scotland, and just returned from two months in London.
We’re currently enjoying two months at The Villages, caring for two beautiful dogs and enjoying all The Villages has to offer.
We've also done house/pet sits in the US including San Diego, Palm Springs, Ft. Lauderdale and Santa Fe.
We don’t get paid, but we get free accommodations in exchange for caring for the homeowner’s house and/or pet(s). It allows us to extend our travel budget and more leisurely explore cities and countries we love. It's not for everyone -- but if you love pets, are flexible and have a passion for travel, house sitting offers many wonderful rewards the best of which is meeting great people around the world.
We have a website but are blocked from sharing it on this forum, but if you are interested in tips on how to enjoy this wonderful lifestyle, you can send me a private message.
