Continuing the discussion from Let’s get to know each other! Introduce (or reintroduce!) yourself to the Forum here!:
Hello everyone We are new, recently registered and have had our background checked. We are looking to look after animals and houses. Preferably no shorter than 2 weeks as it is a long journey. We are available from about 1 October to 1 April. Best regards Jóhann
Welcome!
Best wishes for successful adventures. There are so many opportunities! You might want to do some shorter sits in your local area, to get some 5 star reviews, before venturing abroad.
Where do you want to go? Top 5 places?
Welcome to forum @JohannOlafson !
As @PVGemini says, having a few 5* reviews will certainly open up possibilities for high competition sits. Some areas (like UK, except for London) there are more sits than sitters and it can be easy to get a sit. Other parts of the world, it is opposite.
It is all about a good match, so look for the good gut feeling. For a good match, don’t forget that sitters also should have criterias and be a little picky for your needs and wants.
Welcome! I’m looking forward to taking a first time vacation to Iceland in a couple of weeks! Have heard so many wonderful things about your country.
Welcome to the forum and to THS. You will find lots of tips in the forum and on the website. All the very best to you
If you want I can suggest some interesting places.
What area are you traveling through?
Hello - we are going on a port Intensive cruise to Heimaey, Torshavn, Seydisfjordur, Husavik, Akureyri and Grndarfjordur - ten nights altogether. I have jotted down some ideas for each port and have booked a tour from Akureyri to the Godafoss Waterfall and Lake Myvatn and plan on going in the baths there. Some friends had suggested the Sky Lagoon over the Blue Lagoon but I decided to go to a less touristy bath. We’re only spending our last night In Reykjavik. Any suggestions in those ports would be very welcomed - thank you!
