Happy One Year Anniversary
ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY
Last December we left our condominium in Vancouver, BC and set out to housesit for two months. We were then going to buy a small home in Powell River or somewhere on the Sunshine Coast of BC.
One year later we are still house and petsitting. We have stayed in more than 12 people's homes and have looked after more than 18 different animals in that time.
We have enjoyed the communities of Powell River, Sechelt, Halfmoon Bay, Roberts Creek, Comox, Cowichan Bay, Lake Cowichan, Sooke, Metchosin, Vancouver and still have a few more months booked in Gibsons, Powell River and White Rock.
We are not sure how long we will continue to do this, somewhere along the line we will probably buy a home, but not yet.
So for today, Paul and I are the Accidental HouseSitters, that couple who are gallivanting around the coast, looking after homes and animals for free in exchange for your friendship and hospitality.

Congratulations! Thank you for serving as inspiration for my husband and I to continue our own journey. We've been traveling constantly since June and have just arrived in Florida to settle down at our first long term workcamping gig, for a whopping 2 months or so, in order to extend our journey.
While this slowing down is a little scary, all I have to do is think of your journey, and how you've been able to do it for so long by settling down here and there. Thanks for demonstrating that an extended journey can be done!
Well thanks for your comments. your site is mighty interesting. We have unusual lives don't we and we live in unusual times.
Good luck with your longerterm.
