A love letter to culture and slow travel
In 2022, a German journalist reached out to us, curious about our lives as full-time petsitters. She was especially interested in the human aspect and what it feels like not having a home. We had a great chat, and she planned to get back to us after pitching the idea Continue Reading

Málaga is one of my favourite Spanish cities. It’s so much more than an airport, so much more than an easy access to the Costa Del Sol! I visited the city on several occasions and even had the chance to live nearby for 4 months, while house-and petsitting in Cártama. Continue Reading

Ah Valencia! Oranges, beaches and the Fallas! A vibrant city on the east coast of Spain. Back in July 2020, we spent six weeks in the small town of Náquera, 25km north of Valencia. It was the start of our international housesitting adventure. Six weeks of pure bliss in a Continue Reading
