What’s better than having all the conveniences of home while you’re away?
Getting them for free.
We’re all about traveling more while spending less, and getting free accommodations is THE way to spend less. So what is it we did? Housesitting
An ever-growing community of people who opens their homes to people in exchange for the knowledge that their property and sometimes pets will be well cared for in their absence.
Today Heather joins me as we run through some of the best tips and tricks on how to find your first housesit and once you get it, what to do next.
We had a great time housesitting in beautiful Breckenridge, Colorado and we want you to be able to get your own awesome housesitting gigs all over the world. Let us know where you’ll be applying to housesit in the comments below!
What happens when you put two digital nomads on a podcast together?
We geek out about location independent lifestyles.
Today, we have on Rob from Making It Anywhere, a site that shows people how to start making a living while traveling the world.
From questions like
“I want to be a Digital Nomad, but where on earth do I start?” to “I don’t have the kind of skills for location independence.”
we cover it all.
We chat about how Rob and Mish (his wife and business partner) started their journey to becoming digital nomads through Fiverr and Elance before slowly moving their way up the digital ladder to bigger projects and income streams.
Advice on every topic relating to being a digital nomad is discussed, from where to start and how to think outside the box to travel schedules and finding other like-minded people on the road.
If there’s one thing to take away from this podcast, it’s this:
Often when we decide to follow a path outside of the norm people have one word for us.
Crazy
John Francis has heard that he used to describe his choices more times than he can count.
After the oil spill in San Francisco Bay in the ’70s, John Francis decided that he would help raise environmental consciousness and stopped taking all forms of motorized transportation.
People thought he was absolutely nuts.
While on this journey he decided that he would stop speaking for one day because he realized he had stopped listening to people.
17 years later he broke his vow of silence.
John joins us to talk about his journey of silence and walking and what he learned along the way. He shares the world’s reaction to his choices, and how his life changed as a result.
With some hilarious stories, some heartfelt moments, and some wisdom along the way, we find that maybe crazy isn’t as bad as people think.
Planetwalking is moving into a new phase, and you can help it get there by checking out John’s IndieGoGo campaign and spreading the word!
What’s better than getting locked into a cage with a bunch of crazy sports fans in Croatia? Or making giant signs saying “King Kong Stinks!” at a WWE match? Or perhaps finding ingenious ways to sneak alcohol into the Kentucky Derby?

One of the worst feelings when traveling is boarding the plane, opening your carryon, and realizing that you either forgot something at home or you put it in your checked bags.
Ok, I guess getting food poisoning in Malaysia might be worse, but…
