Hi there @GoZacGo
This is my take on this.
Be aspirational
I started changing my location to the future because that’s where I am headed (or am). I explain in my profile and/or application where I am from (US) but location independent.
Some don’t get it, that’s cool they don’t have to and they don’t get me.
Others love it.
It’s not disingenuous it’s a actually reality.
Me I am a proud vagabond
PS I love you too.
I asked for this a few years ago and it would be useful but still no option. As @Amparo suggests and @Colin has in the past, enter the place you’re travelling to (or aspiring to stay) and owners from those areas might invite you.
Point of view as a pet parent: It can be confusing if someone has NYC for example, as a location and then it’s clear from the application they aren’t in NY. I think for clarity, it would make sense if you just changed it to where you are when you are applying. That is where you are “based” at that moment and how my location fits into your plans. For example: “We are currently in California, but heading east with a sit in your city in early December, so we’ll be there to meet you before your Christmas week sit starts.”
Quick question. I have both a listing and a sitter profile. I don’t even know where in my dashboard the profile is or how I would change it if I wanted to. Is it easy to just switch the info? How? (Probably wouldn’t apply to me. I have pets and sits are short getaways.)
We too have no home base. We live and travel in our campervan and often don’t know where our next location might be until we get there! Would be so great @GoZacGo if THS took up your suggestion of “location independent” or no fixed abode. We are willing to travel anywhere if the sit fits us whether that is in planes, trains or automobiles!
