The Future of Trust-Based Living

I’m Jessica Holmes, a digital nomad, writer, editor, public speaker, and advocate for sustainable travel through house and pet sitting. Over the past three years, I’ve travelled extensively, living in dozens of homes around the world by caring for people’s pets and houses.

In my talk, I’ll share how house and pet sitting has become more than just a practical travel solution - it’s a movement built on trust, connection, and responsibility. I’ll explore how this lifestyle is reshaping the way we think about home, work, and community while on the move, and why it might just be one of the most sustainable, rewarding ways to see the world.
