The pandemic has completely changed our lives. We have been full time travellers and housesitters for over 5 years with no home if our own but the last few months have been very tough.
With serious restrictions undoubtedly in place for the foreseeable future we are having to reconsider our lifestyles now.

With no housesits coming up and no travel options we have been forced to rent accommodation and call on family for help which is not how we want to live. The coming weeks will be a time for us to make some life-changing decisions.

We have been full-time international housesitters for over four years. We were at ground zero in Manhattan in March, poised to head to Europe when it hit the fan. Being in Manhattan we saw and felt the full brunt of covid, but avoided getting sick. We retreated to the family for a few months, then got a 6-month sit, which we are about half-way through now. We worry about what’s next as expected but are hopeful despite it all.
