Yes, It’s Possible

If you’re open to trying something new, it is possible to travel the world for free—or at least pretty darn close to free. Here are some real ways to check off some destinations on your travel list without breaking the bank.


Housesitting

In addition to keeping homes safe while people are away, housesitting can be a way for you to get free accommodations.

And for those who like the companionship of furry friends, housesitting can also be a unique opportunity to try your hand at being a pet owner.

Housesitting (cont’d)

There are lots of reputable websites that can connect travelers with homeowners. TrustedHousesitters and Housecarers are just two examples, and you don’t have to put your own home on offer to sign up as a housesitter.
