I am currently writing a novel while looking for some new inspiration! I was raised in a house with no running water (outside pump), no electricity/heat (wood stove) and no indoor plumbing! That doesn't mean I don't appreciate running water and electricity, it just means that I can and have adapted to life's minor inconveniences!
I've just finished doing a round of housesits in Australia as well as one in Malaysia. I'm headed back to Canada for housesits there. I have experienced different breeds of cats and dogs and added new animals to my housesitting resume: donkeys, cows and chickens!
I love the outdoors and working/tending to gardens. I'm pretty handy with tools and I don't 'sweat the small stuff'.
