“Ruth Johnston, (that’s ME !!), Australian travel writer and full-time housesitter, travels around the world with her son by housesitting, volunteering, and finding new and exciting locations for travel journalism.
They find that housesitting saves them money and enables them to keep traveling around the world.
In this our choice for the 2015 HouseSitMatch ‘New Voices’ Blog Competition, sponsored by HouseSitMatch, Ruth shares some of her experiences and her motivations to housesit while she travels.”

Congratulations. House sitting is something I want to try in 2016.
That you Charles – it is well worth it and I highly recommend taking advantage of the offer in the blog and signing up.
Congratulations guys ☺
And a good blog from you Louis ☺
I have recently started housesitting and love it. Hope to do this for a long time. Done my first and got 3 more between now and April . Then I go home and stay for the summer and hope to get some more sits after that.
Good luck you guys.

Thanks Bragi – Enjoy your house-sitting – it is brilliant, isn’t it?!
Congratulations on your achievement. Housesitting isn’t something I’d previously considered, so thanks to opening my eyes to its potential.
I highly recommend joining and experiencing housesitting – not only does it save you $$ travelling, you get to meet some amazing locals that often become friends; you sometime get to care for the loveliest of pets, and it feels like home away from home.
