How long have you been living\/working on the road, and where have you traveled to?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been traveling forever, but for the last 10 years as a full-time housesitter.  <\/span>I’ve housesat in London (during the Olympics!), Berlin, Amsterdam<\/a>, Paris, Gibraltar<\/a>, Hanoi, Osaka, throughout Africa and the US…even Ya’an a Chinese “village,” where I was the only non-Asian I encountered for a week! I regularly housesit in Ajijic, Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please describe what you do for income.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until recently, I rented out my home as a vacation rental.  <\/span>That house is now on the market and I will live off the invested proceeds.  <\/span>I also edit and co-write books, coach authors, teach in-depth writing workshops (willing to go anywhere to teach!), speak at conferences, blog for hire, and write a column for a Los Angeles newspaper.  <\/span>My housesitting book provides income when I spend time promoting it.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How many hours per week do you work on average? <\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I spend at least 1 – 2 hours\/week day promoting my housesitting book, plus another 2 – 4 hours\/day on paid gigs.  <\/span>When I’m teaching, I spend 5 – 6 hours\/day prepping and teaching.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much money do you make?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From my rental income, I cleared between $2,000 – $3,000\/month, which is enough for me to sustain my travel\/housesitting lifestyle. Once my house sells, I’ll maintain that income from the invested proceeds.  <\/span>I’m now supplementing that with stepped-up writing\/teaching\/coaching\/speaking income that varies widely, depending on current contracts. 

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you make enough money to support your lifestyle?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I live frugally and simply, so, yes, this income sustains my lifestyle.  <\/span>My largest expense is airfare, and I’ve found some pretty good ways to minimize air costs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How To Travel On A Budget: 14 Creative Tips That No One Talks About<\/i><\/span><\/a>

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you like most about your career and lifestyle? <\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love the freedom I have now.  <\/span>For 30 years, I was a political consultant\/activist in California.  <\/span>It was a great life!  <\/span>But now, I love the freedom from maintaining and paying for an office, staff, overhead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love the variety in my life and the opportunity to experience new cultures.  <\/span>I’ve also had the opportunity to report on breaking stories from the places where I’m housesitting.  <\/span>For example, while housesitting in Berlin at the height of the Syrian refugee crisis, I volunteered at a refugee registration center and wrote a column about it.  <\/span>While housesitting in Osaka, I had the opportunity to travel to Hiroshima and Nagasaki to report on the 70th commemorations of the atomic bombings.  <\/span>While housesitting in Malaysia, I reported a breaking story about the changing definition of rape.  <\/span>While housesitting near Guadalajara, I reported about the recent Central American refugees traveling through Mexico.  <\/span>Housesitting made it possible for me to afford to be “on the ground.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also appreciate being of service to pet owners — to allow them to travel knowing that their pets are loved and their home is secure.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are some of the challenges you have with this career and lifestyle?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are challenges to any lifestyle choice, of course.  <\/span>I find my life is more logistics-heavy than I’d like, because it just takes time to figure out how to get from Point A to B affordably. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I never know what the home that I’ll be taking care of will be like — and I’ve been met with some unpleasant surprises (which is why I wrote How to Become a Housesitter<\/i>, hoping to help others learn from my experiences). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the primary challenge I have is combating loneliness and dealing with the inevitable “good-byes.”

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your vision for the future of your lifestyle on the road?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d like to create a new home for myself somewhere in Europe, but continue to housesit for most of the year.  <\/span>I’d just like my own home to return to — and to be there for me when I’m too old to travel this much!  <\/span>Fortunately, I have no immediate need to make any permanent decisions, so I can take my time.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any advice for the aspiring traveler about living and working on the road and managing finances?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assess your assets!  <\/span>Once I realized that my home — with its strangling mortgage — was an asset that I could turn into an income-producer, many options opened up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is there anything else you’d like to add?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Housesitting isn’t for everyone (I include a quiz in my book “Is Housesitting Right for You?”), but it can be a great option for digital nomads.  <\/span>Besides the no-cost accommodations, I benefit from secure, hi-speed internet usually with wider broadband, (generally) a free printer, and generous work space that I don’t have to “clean up” every afternoon, or travel to, or sleep with.  <\/span>I have my own kitchen, laundry, TV (usually with cable, Netflix or Hulu)…and, of course, my furry companions!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
