Hey Jo, love your post. Thank you for sharing. My husband and I are living our dream life as international house sitters. You definitely don’t need a million dollars to start. Some research is always a good idea. Be confident, open the door and take on the world! All the best.

Hi Rosie, nice to meet you. :) We're house sitters also, what a great and cost effective way to supplement travel isn't it! (Plus we get to cuddle with lots of gorgeous animals 😂) Where are you in the world right now?

We are currently in Ireland for three weeks. Previously in Devon UK. We are returning to the UK and will be there until the end of September. Have the month of August in Italy. It's a good life.

Great article. I moved to the Algarve in Portugal. Not Thailand, but very nice lifestyle. Nice people, great food, nice weather ... Over 50? yes, 72.

I want to help others saving so much time that a second activity can be done without stress.

Hi Jan, sorry I missed your comment here, just getting to grips with Substack! I visited the Algarve many years back with my parents when I was a child. I remember loving it back then. I wonder how it's changed over the last 35 years!
