A love letter to culture and slow travel
If there’s one city in Spain that I know pretty well, it has to be Málaga. If there’s one city in Spain I would like to live in, it has to be Málaga too. Known as the “Capital of the Costa del Sol,” Málaga effortlessly combines history, culture, and a Continue Reading
When we say to friends and family that we are full-time international house-and petsitters, pictures of luxury mansions, filled with cuddly puppies and kittens, come to mind. They’re not entirely wrong. Sometimes we do have to pinch ourselves to realize this isn’t all a dream. But it’s not all fun Continue Reading
“Singapore is so expensive!” That’s what I kept on hearing when I announced our plans for a 5-week housesitting adventure in this intriguing country. I was prepared to mainly eat at home, work a lot and hopefully get to see some of the things that weren’t going to explode our 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
