🎉  In this August recap, I highlight the stories, quotes and best tips from my conversations with Ginny Conforti, Daniela Romero and Rachel Carlson from the previous three episodes. I also give an update on our happenings in the world!

🌎 We deep dive in to all things accommodations and lodging! I highlight the benefits of slow travel and I cover a variety of options, including long-term rentals, RV living, and innovative "almost-free" models like Couchsurfing, house and pet sitting, and home exchange.

👍 Whether you’re a newbie lodging booker or a long time pro, I share actionable advice on everything from vetting hosts and managing finances on the road to being a top-notch house sitter, proving that with strategic planning, extended family travel can be both financially sustainable and personally fulfilling.

IN THIS EPISODE:

  • Learn how slow travel can lead to significant savings on accommodation and transportation!
  • Explore innovate, budget-friendly options like house and pet sitting and work exchange to secure free lodging and more authentic experiences.
  • Do you need help standing out as a family on house and pet sits? I got you covered with all the tips to land great sits. 
  • How to prioritize safety and logistics during your innovative stays!
