The global gig economy, valued at over $556 billion, is seeing significant growth in the house-sitting sector, where travelers pay nothing for accommodations. This is popular among retirees and digital nomads, who care for homeowners' properties in exchange for a place to stay. Known as the 'grey gap year', this trend offers older adults a chance to explore new environments without the costs typically associated with travel, promoting a mutually beneficial arrangement for both house-sitters and homeowners.
Instead of backpacking around Europe, recent retirees spend the first few months exploring new environments in exchange for caring for strangers' properties and pets.
House-sitting tourism allows homeowners to vacation while ensuring their property and pets are cared for, providing a trusted arrangement for both parties.
