How I earned some extra money to help me travel:
I have occasionally hosted guests through Airbnb. I know what you may be thinking but treat them like friends of friends and just open your calendar occasionally when it suits you. It’s money for being nice! And of course turn down requests you aren’t 100% comfortable with. Nobody seems to tell you that this is an option. It is.

Another way that I earned extra money to help me travel is by offering myself for in-home petsitting in the dog owners home, when they are on vacation. I use Rover about 60% of the time. The other 40% are booking through word of mouth recommendations that my Rover clients make to their friends.

As you can see from my sock darning skills: I am thrifty. I try and save money when I can. And I try to value what I have. I also use WISE when I transfer money internationally and I use their borderless account to accept global payments for work and to keep several different currencies while I wait for exchange rates to be good before I cash payments out.

We have a business and I also work with a few entrepreneurs in a variety of filed. Everyone needs product and services listings. When I create the images for e-commerce shops I like to use Canva to create an image & text composition. It is easy and can be free if you don’t want to pay for a subscription. But I appreciate the greater design choice of a paid membership. It not only gives offers font options and more design themes it somehow saves time because I am not wasting time hunting around for free hacks. I absolutely love it now. But choose the free options if a paid one is too scary and

People buy all kinds of things on ebay. I get nothing for reminding you that ebay is a great tool for some extra small change. And sometimes it is a surprisingly larger amount of change.

LEARNING – investing in learning is an inextricable part of earning:
• 1 month free classes on Skillshare (if you don’t want to continue using Skillshare past 1 month please keep an eye on your dates and cancel in good time so that you don’t need to pay the fair price of less than $10 a month for unlimited classes access)

• Free File Storage & File sharing with Dropbox (you can upgrade for more storage but the free allocation is quite useful to sign up for.)
I also like Google Drive AND use iCloud. You could call me a digital hoarder?

You could also try and Find free accommodation around. the world with Trusted Housesitters

If you know me then you know that I also highly advocate for getting paid to pet- and housesit. Trusted Housesitters is NOT paid. So just make sure to communicate well and feel 100% sure that the unpaid housesit is right for you. It could be a fun adventure.
• Housesitting and petsitting is a service taking on responsibility for property security and animal life. That isn’t always relaxing. I wrote an article and a checklist to help sitters and homeowners have the best possible experience. Link : coming soon.
