We LOVE Housesitting in New Zealand. Want to Try it too?

If you have been following us for a while, then you will know that we travelled the World for one year with our kids in 2018 and for six months in 2022 by ourselves. While we were travelling, we did a lot of housesitting. We are constantly asked how we did this and if we can share the website that we used. So here it is:
The initial 'looking part' is free. You can Google all of the beautiful houses around New Zealand that are waiting for YOU to look after them. Take a sneak peek here! https://itsadrama.com/trusted-nz (As I say, looking is completely free, so gander to your heart's content).
Then, if you are serious about using Housesitting as a tool to travel the world for free (as we do), you can use my exclusive discount code to save yourself 20% by Clicking here.. https://itsadrama.com/trusted-accounts

Still not sure about paying for a Housesitting membership? Remember that the cost of a yearly membership (approx $80 using the discount code above) will be paid back (and more) on the first housesitting night. It really is that simple!
