A couple hasn't paid for flights since 2018 and lives in homes for free. Here's how they quit their corporate jobs for house-sitting gigs all over the world.
Travel enthusiasts Fran Cassaniti from Buenos Aires, Argentina and Marco Ilagan from Chicago, Illinois were in a long-distance relationship. And while most people in long-distance relationships hop on FaceTime calls, Cassaniti and Ilagan had date nights in all parts of the world. They met in India, Thailand, or Brazil to spend time with each other.
The couple needed to look after a dog and a cockatiel called Tweetie who would fly free around the house. While they were nervous about their first house sit, both the owners and the pets made it easy for them. The owners left a car, two mountain bikes, and hiking gear for the couple so they could enjoy the Alaskan scenery."When we were having breakfast, Tweetie would sit at his breakfast station and wait for his peanut butter with cookies," said Cassaniti.
But after staying with friends in Chicago, they found a house-sitting gig on a golf community in Florida. The locals would travel everywhere by golf cart, whether that was to go to the golf course or grocery shopping. The only challenge they've had with a pet was when a 14-year-old golden retriever they were looking after for a family experienced a seizure. The couple rushed the dog to the vet and were relieved when the vet managed to get the dog back on his feet. However, the scary moment prepared them for future emergencies."We now ask for the vet's emergency number because we learned it's a different one," said Ilagan.
