Travelling
Our next destination:
Italy - from Apr 2024 until Jul 2024 View allDescription
Hello! We are Luke (32) and Annie (29) - a couple currently on a year-long sabbatical travelling around the world, planning to be in Italy from the end of April until the start of July 2024. We are looking to house sit in Italy (we are flexible as to location) and we are happy to take care of your property and do simple gardening, cleaning, and low key maintenance (as needed). We are experienced house sitters in London and can provide references on request.
👫 About Us:
We are both from the UK (London) and qualified lawyers. In September 2023 we decided to take a break from the legal world and spend a year travelling and volunteering abroad. So far we have been in Latin America for 3 months, India for 2 months (where we did our first Workaway project) and Indonesia for 1 month. We are passionate to explore new cultures and immerse ourselves in local communities. Annie is also learning Italian and is keen to practice.
🏠 Housesitting experience:
We have experience housesitting for more than 6 months in total in central London and Surrey, England. During that time we have taken care of houses, cared for pets (2 cats), carried out daily gardening maintenance, cleaned and carried out household chores. We are trustworthy people and will take care of your home like it is our own!
🏃♀️ Interests ⚽:
Annie is a passionate runner and successfully completed the London Marathon in 2023, having raised in excess of £2,000 for Newlife, a charity for disabled children. Luke is an avid traveler and football enthusiast. We both love music, food and wine.
🤝 Why Work with Us:
- We both have experience housesitting and also carrying out garden and farming work.
- We are passionate to base ourselves in wonderful local communities and to learn more about Italian culture.
- We are adaptable, trustworthy and hard working.
We are very excited for potential housesitting opportunities - please message us if you like our profile!Interests
