About Leanne & Todd
Hi,
We are a couple in our 40/50s who are traveling the world from July 2018-June 2019. Job changes two years ago made us start contemplating the transition to travel and we’re finally following through with it.

Hi,
We are a couple in our 40/50s who are traveling the world from July 2018-June 2019. Job changes two years ago made us start contemplating the transition to travel and we’re finally following through with it. Starting this July, we’ve committed to one year traveling and I am hopeful that this will be the start of our lifelong traveling lifestyle. Leanne, who has been in senior leadership roles within the Human Services field, will be leaving work for a year. Todd just finished his position as a scientist working in Biotech/Pharmaceutical research.
Our travel plans will begin in Europe. We are starting our adventure in London and cycling the 1,000 miles from Lands End at the southern tip of England to John O-Groats in northern Scotland. From there we will take a series of trains, ferries and explore 600 or so miles of cycling paths through France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic and Austria. Our travel philosophy generally is to have a direction but not an itinerary.
We are both avid and enthusiastic travelers with a passion for learning, adventure, meeting new people, immersing ourselves in local cultures and experiencing life on the road. We enjoy hiking, running, cycling, sailing and scuba diving and are happy in the mountains or in the water. We generally approach life with a minimalist, and adventurous philosophy. We love being outside whether it be in the country, city, coast or mountains. We tend to gravitate to endurance activities, love new adventures, and generally have a bit of wanderlust. We each have adult children that have become fully independent within the last few years. We are at a point in our lives where we don't have the same responsibilities and can explore travel on a full time basis.
Our multi-year interests include experiencing new cultures through long distance backpacking, cycling, sailing, and then RVing when our knees give out. Through our research we’ve seen many interesting volunteer opportunities and think it would be great to immerse ourselves in a culture through participating in these types of activities. The potential positives and negatives of the traveling lifestyle are so immense it will be interesting to see how our expectations evolve over the next year.
We both have enjoyed work and travel over the years and are thrilled to be able to focus on traveling and opening our house to others while we are away. We are particularly enthusiastic about house and pet sitting as it will allow us to give back to the communities we travel to as well as provide a helpful service and to meet people and pets around the globe.
Cheers,
Leanne and Todd
Why we want to house sit
Hi,
My name is Leanne and my fiance is Todd. Todd has just recently retired and I am taking a year off from work to travel around the world from late July of 2018 to June of 2019.
We are starting our adventure in London and cycling the 1,000 miles from Lands End at the southern tip of England to John O-Groats in northern Scotland. From there we will take a series of trains, ferries and 600 or so miles of cycling paths through France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic and Austria.
We generally approach life with a minimalist and adventurous philosophy. We love being outside whether it be in the country, city, coast or mountains. As long as we can explore with a backpack or bike-pack we are happy!
Todd is a scientist who has worked in oncology research for 30 years and Leanne has worked with nonprofits in healthcare and social services for 25 years. We both have enjoyed work and travel over the years and are thrilled to be able to focus on traveling and opening our house to others while we are away.
As we are in our 40/50s and have owned several homes we are familiar with basic home, pool and yard maintenance. We have had the privilege of including many pets (cats, horses, and dogs) in our family over the years and have acquired quite a bit of experience as pet sitters for friends and families. We believe our homes are our havens and sanctuaries and will treat yours with the same care, respect, and love that we do for our own.
Would love to hear from you if you are looking to come to Boston area and/or are in need of a house and/or pet sit in Europe, Iceland, USA, South or Central America!
Cheers and happy travels!
Leanne and Todd
Our experience
We have cared for other peoples homes for short and long stays through informal networks over the years. The types of homes have ranged from small apartments, condos to large homes.
Collectively we have owned and maintained ten properties over the past 25 years.
We are comfortable with troubleshooting basic home and yard maintenance tasks.
Both of us grew up with animals; dogs, cats, and horses. As adults, we have been pet owners to cats and dogs. As we are now traveling and our children are older, we do not have any pets. We get in pet time as we typically pet sit for others a few times a month.
We are happy to provide references and more information about your unique home and/or pet and situation upon request.
