This blog post is about the trending travel movement of slow travel: what it is, why you should consider doing it, and how housesitting fits in with the slow travel way of life.

I discuss these questions and more in this short blog post about the therapeutic benefits of housesitting.

This post is a deep dive into the world of international housesits - how they work, what you need to think about before and after you apply to them and how widespread housesitting has become around the world. I’ll discuss what I call “The Big Five” of international housesitting: Visas, Passports, Vaccinations, Schengen and Green travel, and I’ll also give you some top tips on how to secure sits overseas.
