9: House Sitting Magazine with Vanessa Anderson and Ian Usher

Vanessa and Ian like to live differently. They enjoy a freedom lifestyle as full-time nomads and house sitters, happy to follow the twists and turns wherever life takes them. They divide their time between producing House Sitting Magazine, running a large support group for the community, helping others begin their own unique lifestyle journeys, partaking of frequent travel adventures, while spending a large amount of their time cuddling pets! Sam initially connected with Vanessa in 2016, back in the early days of our house sitting adventures. While we've been connected virtually over the years, it was so cool to have this conversation. We covered so much, from living on Ian's private island in the Caribbean to getting started house sitting, to how they've adapted to the pandemic, and everything in between.We talk about: How Vanessa moved to Ian's private island in the Caribbean after only having met once before! How they first got started house sitting Their life as nomads House sitting as a couple Running House Sitting Magazine Hosting the first house sitting conference How they've adapted to the pandemic much more! There was so much to talk about that we didn't nearly cover it all, so if there's something  you'd like to hear more about from Vanessa and Ian's fascinating life, let us know and maybe we can wrangle them back on the show! ;)  Our book: The House Sitting Handbook>>Click here to sign up for TrustedHousesitters with our discount<<  Connect:Email us: https://thehousesittingpodcast.com/contact/Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/housesittingtravel/Links + Resources Mentioned House Sitting Magazine House Sitting Community Support Group New Lives in the Wild Documentary (shows their off grid life in Panama!) 

Om Podcasten

House Sitting Travel is the first podcast on the topic of house sitting to travel the world. In this method of house sitting, house sitters provide pet and home care in exchange for accommodation. Neither house sitter nor pet owner pays for this exchange - it's a win-win for both sides! Hosts Sam and Veren of Alternative Travelers bring the house sitting community together in podcast form for the first time, featuring inspiring interviews with globe trotting house sitters as well as tips, advice, and stories to help you live your dream life through house sitting.
