Central London, October 2016
Fellow dreamers – those like-minded souls who yearn to explore the world fully – often ask us questions about money and travel.
How expensive is it to travel like you do? How can you afford to travel full-time? How do you save money while traveling?
And, how on earth, can you afford to spend multiple weeks in ultra pricey London?
Truth is, we are continually exploring avenues for not only traveling more while spending less; but also, traveling more deeply and meaningfully.
Over the past year and a half, we have taken a leap into work gigs via Workaway as well as housesitting (in-home pet care, in exchange for free accommodation.)
Currently we are two days into a two-week housesit in central London, in a posh flat, caring for the planet’s cutest dog. It’s an experience that is saving us quite a few cents while also giving us a sense of “being local.”
In short, #winning.
Two weeks in London, no accommodation costs. Not bad, right?
