I am Anne and I am excited to have a first sit in New South Wales Australia in a few days. I will be 60 on 23 March and I am looking forward to a new phase in life as a matured solo traveller who hopes to see the world through house/pet sitting. As an asian, I am met with skepticism and disbelief when I mention my intention to friends and family. No doubt I have travelled solo these last few years but since my retirement I hope to finally be free to travel a bit more. And knowing that THS and its community will have my back puts my mind at ease.
I hope to house sit in UK next starting in August. I would love to have a few sits back to back so that I can see as much of England, Ireland and Scotland as I can this year. Look forward to hearing from home owners.

Congratulations on your first sit! I hope you get to travel and enjoy your much deserved retirement! England is amazing from the two trips i have had there.
I am off to my first house sit (from this website) this week with another one in a month’s time. I am travelling as a family so I always look for family friendly locations for a bit of a holiday.
Best wishes,
Suzie
