I always used to have my “location” as my home back in the UK. But I’ve been spending a few months in Central America and I kept getting people asking me to do sits in the UK … so I kept having to say “no” … and I came to think that this was a bad customer experience … so I started updating my location every few weeks to reflect where I actually am.
And the question is. I’m sorry about this. I can’t remember how to change my location! I can’t find it anywhere. I’m also wondering if it has moved or something.
Can someone help? I’m now getting requests for sits in an odd corner of Panama and I may never be there again in my whole life. Thanks!
Hello @housesitter421 and welcome to the forum. Looks like you are doing quite a bit of traveling to some awesome places.

Hi @Debbie-L
Similar to @housesitter421 we get many requests for UK sits as our location is our previous home in the UK, but we sold our home and now travel full time so no longer have a fixed location. And we’re guessing there are many other THS who also travel full time.
We would like to be able to change the location to a country rather than a city/town, eg Greece rather than Athens, or even a continent, eg. Europe, or USA. Is this possible? Or can it be made possible?
Thanks for your help.
@SchindlersOnTour I did get a response back from the team and was advised you can add your specific location (which can be updated when traveling as you have stated you are doing) but putting in a large area (continent) is not possible.
Thanks for the response Debbie, but unfortunately it is not very practical. As someone who is constantly on the move I would have to change my location every couple of days. I am sure there are many others who are in a similar position and not based in a specific location all the time.
I’d like to see an update from the Tech team so that it is possible to have a country generic location rather than a specific location. Where can I send feedback to the Tech team?
Hi @SchindlersOnTour We are nomadic and therefore change location frequently. The first 3 years we had our location as my hometown in UK but after receiving far too many invitations to sit in the UK when we were on the other side of the world we realised an option for ‘nomadic’ OR ‘world traveller’ would be good! But since that does not exist the next best thing is to write your current location, or, a future location you’d like to apply to or be invited to. E.G when we were sitting in France we put our location as a place in S of France. When we knew we were heading to Spain we changed it to a city in Spain. Now we are in Spain, booked till end of Sept, but starting to think of heading to UK, we will soon change it back to our home city in UK! This works well and has stopped most of the invitations that we’d not be able to consider!
@SchindlersOnTourCool! Where are you right now? We’ve moving (sitting) around Spain- first down the coast as far as Marbella, currently in a lovely place in the outskirts of Madrid and next week heading direction Alicante for our last month in Spain!
@SchindlersOnTour Have fun! We did 3 months in France (4 sits) followed by (the current) 3 months in Spain (5 sits!) End of Sept we’ll be heading to the France/Germany border for some family/grandkids time!!
