@Mark_B, thanks to you & team. We have learned a great deal from shared experiences on THS Forum, both from veteran perspective and newbie questions. Many threads have made us think, reflect and enhance our adventures. We feel blessed to connect with this community and unquestionably have gained confidence to expand our comfort zone - next week we fly to commence a housesit in our fourteenth country 
. Thank you.
In terms of memories, I recall a truly fabulous comment by @ElsieDownie on an exploratory thread about housesitting in South America. “I have found it’s very dangerous (and expensive) talking to fellow travellers. Japan, China and a slow boat to Australia are on the list. All because we had a conversation with someone who had done it and it appealed to our curiosity. And I’m still trying to figure out Antarctic! Last continent to visit.”
