it’s what you do in that place that will…
Feeling a little lost and wondering where “home” is, husband and wife Brian and Liz are back to take you along on a walking podcast, and this time, they’ve landed in a three-month rental just outside Bath.
In this deeply personal conversation, Liz shares why the view of an ancient church from her window is helping her write the book on grief she was always meant to write, and Brian opens up about the simple things that make him happy.
This is for anyone who has ever felt a little lost, is redefining “home” after a loss, or is simply wondering how to find pockets of light and purpose right where they are.
We hope you enjoy this raw, real, and uplifting walk through the beautiful English countryside with us (and sorry in advance for needing a loo break and also the marriage spats as we go on our merry way…how embarrassing…??!!)
Thank you, as always, for being here with us.
You are what makes this podcast so special.
My heart beats with yours. Kia Kaha.
Liz and Brian x

Why write a post on the pros and cons of housesitting?
Because I wanted to make it crystal clear that although housesitting is an incredible way to see the world for free (it is most certainly how WE afford to travel the world), it isn’t always a walk in the park.
Far from it.
Housesitting is more like one of those jogs you do when you realise your jeans no longer fit.
The jog that gets you all sweaty and puffy but feels amazing afterwards.

Get ready to take a journey of self-discovery and cultural exploration, and experience the joy of embracing new experiences. Grab your passport, and let’s embark on a literary escapade!

Housesitting. In Italy. Magnifico!
Regular followers of this blog and our podcast will know we are no strangers to housesitting.
We spent three months housesitting around Europe when we travelled the world with the kids for a year.
From there, we were hooked, and in the last five years (both as a family and as a couple), we have clocked up twenty-seven housesits worldwide.
It’s official.
We are now professional housesitters.

If we’ve heard it once, we’ve heard it a thousand times: How do you afford to travel the world? Are you rich? How do you afford to keep taking so much time off to travel?
Why haven’t you got a proper job?
I cannot wait to share this episode with you!
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine that we would be a couple who could say, ‘We have location-independent jobs and get paid while travelling the world’.
Never.
Yet it seems that’s exactly what we’re doing.

It’s true. We’re leaving New Zealand and we’re off to travel Europe for 6 months.
For ages, I’ve been dying to share this news with you—this big news.
But I’ve been putting it off.
In this very frank and open behind-the-scenes podcast we reveal why.
