The Accidental Housesitters Begins
Well, to tell you the truth, my husband Paul and I have been on this journey for 10 months already; I just never got around to blogging it. So let's begin now.
Who Are You?
Deb and Paul, married couple in British Columbia.
What Is This Adventure?
We are housesitting all over Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast, month to month.
Why Are You Doing This?
We started out by selling our condo in Vancouver in December of 06. We thought we would housesit in Sechelt on the Sunshine Coast for 2 months and buy a new home, but it has turned inot over 10 months now due to multiple requests.
What's the Deal
Every month we move. We change houses and change communities and explore. We check out each town and think about if we want to live there. It is really a lot of fun.
We have lived in:
Sechelt
Halfmoon Bay
Powell River
Comox
Metchosin
Sooke
Cowichan Bay
and a few more places
How Long Will You Do This?
Until it isn't fun anymore. We are booked until March, but somewhere along the line we want to buy a home. We just keep putting it off because this housesitting is great.
Why Is It Great?
We don't charge for this service, but we get to live in beautiful homes. So far for 10 months we have paid nothing for:
rent
mortgage
electricity
telephone
internet
taxes
maintenance
We also like the pets that are left in our charge.
So, this could be an adventure you too could enjoy. Stay posted for more ideas.
