About Me

Me and my partner are fun and adventurous! We love travelling and seeing the world. In 2017 we sold all of our possessions to make travelling a priority. Since then we have lived in Central America, the Caribbean, Turkey, and many countries in Africa!

We are slow travellers and prefer to spend a good chunk of time in one place, instead of skipping around and barely scratching the surface. If possible, we find housesitting jobs or rent a house, that allows us to stay put for 2 months or more in one spot. This allows us to really dig in and learn about the people and the cultures in the places that we visit.

We aren’t touristy types who need to see all the sights. We have resigned ourselves to the fact that we will never see everything, and it’s impossible to do and see it all. We want to enjoy ourselves and be inspired and motivated by our surroundings. We don’t want to feel constantly drained and burnt out.

We are artists that are finding ways to make a living online. We also paint murals in exchange for accommodation and food. . We are open to many different opportunities and exchanges, and we prefer to not over plan our future too much so that we can entertain and consider every opportunity that comes our way.

Thanks for reading! We look forward to getting to know our hosts and travellers as well as we grow our global network of friends.
