🧭 Ways to Travel

Sorted by how you travel, not by where you land

Somebody has to drive that motorhome back north before the season ends. Somebody has to feed the cat while the owners are in New Zealand for three months. And every spring and autumn, cruise ships cross an ocean half empty because they have to be on the other side by summer.

All of it is travel that already has to happen. You just have to be the one who says yes.

This section is about methods, not destinations — the ways of travelling that cost a fraction of what they look like they should, and work almost anywhere. Each article explains how it works, what it really costs, and what we would check before saying yes ourselves.

House Sitting
A whole house and no rent, for looking after someone’s home while they are away. We spent the whole of covid on an estate in Portugal this way.

Overnight Ferries
Sleep on a ship that has to cross anyway. A two-berth cabin with a shower for less than a hotel room — and you wake up in another country.

Campervan Relocations
Rental companies need their vans driven back. Four berths, a kitchen and a shower for about a euro a night — and a country you would never have picked.
