In this episode we welcome Mitch Loar who has spent over two years travelling the world with his wife (and also now his daughter). Mitch has discovered this way of travelling to be more cost effective than living in the States! How you ask? By housesitting. 

Housesitting is where someone stays at another person's house; to look after their pets or their plants, while the resident travels! Mitch explains the ins and out of housesitting in this amazing episode. If you have ever considered housesitting or offering up your house to sit, have a listen.

You can find Mitch at Budget Travel Tips on Instagram and Facebook. 

His wife’s Instagram is Traveloars, which is more travel blog-esque.

In this episode, I am joined by Danielle Saxton as she shares her experiences living in Norway and Sweden.

Danielle talks about the struggles she faced in learning both languages, as well as the cultural differences and reverse culture shock when she returned to the United States. We also discuss her starting ballet dancing as an adult and how that has brought much needed balance into her life.

 In this episode, we welcome back Maria Phillips, this time talking about how she moved careers from myotherapy to start various side hustles such as being an ebay broker, a babysitter and a meal prepper - all while being a full time mum!

We look at the struggles and benefits each of these bring to her and the reasons she continues to work towards self-employment and more specifically online work. We are also given great tips and advice for creating opportunities for extra cash, even if you don’t have kids.

We also talk about how she has been able to travel with her young son, both with her family and independently.

Stay tuned for news on some future endeavours (listen to the podcast for spoiler on what it is 😊 )
