we are a couple retired early and doing what we like. In the summer we live on our sailboat in Croatia and in the winter months we travel with our bus camper to Spain Portugal. Every year for the last five years we have done a housesit of an average of three months in Spain and Portugal with dogs and cats. We are still looking for a housesit for next winter, but are convinced that it will come our way. Only good experiences through THS. Now also a member of this forum with interesting topics.

@BeJa That’s a wonderful sort of retirement package the two of you have created. I am very envious as my husband and I lived in Croatia for three months and absolutely fell in LOVE. Was the photo above close to Sibenik? We sailed to as many islands as we could for ten days and every spot we went to felt more beautiful than the last. The people as so kind as well!
Cheers to finding a long term sit in Spain/Portugal!
