Hi Reader,

Don't you just love finding ways to travel on a budget?

Getting free accommodation is a great way to save big bucks as even cheap hotels and Airbnbs can cost over $100 per night, so imagine how much you can save over a year if you didn't have to pay any accommodation costs!

Have You Tried Housesitting?

Housesitting means that you stay in someone else's home and look after the house (and in most cases their pets) while they are away on holiday, for work, or for other reasons.

If you become a housesitter you can stay in comfortable homes all over the world for free, and cuddle with cute pets at the same time!

Housesitting is one way of getting free accommodation, and it can be for as long or as short a time as you like, so anyone can do it - from weekend stays close to your own home to month-long stays on the other side of the world, there are lots of people looking for someone to care for their homes and pets.

It is a lot of responsibility though, so make sure you're comfortable with animal care and what is required before you agree to a sit - home owners are trusting you to care for their property and their beloved pets.

Save 30% on TrustedHousesitters Membership

​TrustedHousesitters is a great way to find house and pet sits, especially in Europe, the UK and the US.

I’ve got a Trusted Housesitters coupon for you save 30% on Trusted Housesitters Membership but only until the end of 19th February, so don't miss out!

I recommend the Standard or Premium membership options instead of the Basic Membership as they include lots of useful extras like free calls with vets when you need them, instant alerts for your searches and accident & third party liability plan - and it doesn't cost much more than the basic option so it gives you great peace of mind.

There aren't many housesits available in Barcelona and when they come up they get snapped up quickly, so having the instant alerts would really help. Plus if you're visiting other places in Europe as well as Barcelona you could mix it up and do some housesitting and some hotel or other accommodation stays.

Happy travels,
