My wife and I are retired military (32 years each). No strangers to living out of a suitcase, our goal in retirement is to continue those adventures by becoming immersed into the local life/culture of wherever we land. Short stays in neighborhoods, away from the touristy hotels is one of the best ways to do this. The wife is very handy as she's rebuilt our bathroom and kitchen (I was manual labor). We have lots 2 cats and a dog (but we do not travel with them), plants and a large yard that we are rather proud of - so, we're not afraid of the work involved in keeping up a home. We understand the importance of treating your home and pets with the love that we have for our own. read more

My upbringing has allowed me to develop a skill set of 'handiness' allowing me to troubleshoot most unforseen issues.I've lived in NYC, Chicago, Minneapolis, Connecticut, the rural high desert mountains of southern Arizona and Nebraska. I love rural living just as much as major cities. I've traveled Europe, wandering, exploring many countries. I've house, cat and dog sat in France, England and Australia.
