not sure if you need this but sending anyway


Hey Friends,

Nothing new or crazy here. Julia is halfway through her Worldpackers exchange in Italy and Jess is working hard in England.

Jess is actually doing a lot of pet sitting in the coming weeks, as a favor to friends but also as a change of scenery.

Speaking of pet sitting, we wanted to remind you about (and share with our new subscribers) our pet and house sitting guide.

We've done over 15 house sits around the world, so we know what we're talking about when it comes to being chosen in a sea of applicants.

If housesitting sounds like your kind of thing and you're looking for a chance to see new places without paying for accommodation, you can download our free guide here.

We just wanted to share the sale we're running on our TrustedHousesitters guide! Pet sitting has helped us save thousands on accommodation, spend time with some very adorable pets, and stay in neighbourhoods we'd probably never have experienced otherwise. Over the past year, we've recommended it to so many friends...

Hey Reader, We don’t spend a huge amount of time on social media, but it’s something we’re working on so our followers can see more of the everyday. How we feel planning our Instagram content. That got us thinking…are you following us on Instagram?

Hiya, We're getting closer to meeting up in Bilbao, and it has us reflecting on how we got here. A couple of years ago, this summer wouldn't have been possible. Now, Julia's spending the summer volunteering in Italy and Sweden, and every train ticket, flight and hostel has been paid for by the blog we started as a side project. It's still a little surreal. Looking back, there were a few moments that changed everything. 🇱🇦 February 2024 – Laos We were traveling through northern Laos and kept...
