💭 I dreamed of quitting my job to travel.
🌎 So I did it!
🏡 Now I house sit worldwide.
🔴 LIVE! Monique’s VERY FIRST House Sit! 🏡 ↙️

I had some company for my 46th Birthday Selfie Shoot. 🎉⁣
⁣
Meet my house sitting clients Cleveland and Chee Wee from New Orleans. 🐶⁣
⁣
Yes, house sitting is still happening. In fact, I think it’s the perfect solution to lockdown blues. House sitting is road trip and self-quarantine friendly. 🏡⁣

Seriously tho, house sitting changed my ENTIRE LIF

Seriously tho, house sitting changed my ENTIRE LIFE. It can change yours too. 🙌🏾 ⁣
⁣
Here’s how. 👀 ⁣
⁣
1. How much MORE could you travel if you didn’t have to pay for accommodations? 💰 ⁣
⁣
2. How much LESS could you work with that money still in your pocket? 🧘🏾‍♀️ ⁣
⁣
3. How many DREAMS for yourself could you make a REALITY with that free time? 💡 ⁣
⁣
I know you have questions about if house sitting is for you. Come to my webinar in @travelnoire TN Community Thursday, July 2nd at 8pm ET and I’ll answer those questions. Click the link in the @travelnoire bio to sign up! 👩🏽‍🏫 ⁣
⁣
And you’ll see why I think house sitting is the cure for the pandemic lockdown blues. 🏡⁣
⁣
In fact, I’m house sitting in New Orleans right now. ☀️ ⁣
⁣
Where would you want to be house sitting this week? 🌴 ⁣

I took this pic during my last house sit in Ajijic, where I met an amazing community of Black women living their dreams. 💗⁣

This is the kind of place where you go for a visit and end up staying. 🏡⁣

If you’re planning your exit from the US (I’m with it) but you’re not sure if you⁣ want to move abroad or travel around full time, my new YouTube video is for you. Link in my bio. ⬆️⁣

Move abroad or bop around the globe...which one sounds right for you? 🌎 ⁣

It’s no secret I LOVE MEXICO. 🇲🇽 The food, the weather, the cost of living, the people...🙌🏾🙌🏾 ⁣

Throwback to when I was in Chiang Mai, Thailand still paying for accommodations.🥺⁣
⁣
I’ve been going live in some of my favorite Facebook groups this week talking about how to get started house sitting. 🏡⁣
⁣
House sitting has changed my LIFE for real. Not paying for a place to stay means I get to TRAVEL MORE and WORK LESS. 🙌🏾⁣

I would’ve never known about the Shrine Of Our Lady Of Guadalupe 🇲🇽 if somebody hadn’t posted their pics on IG. Thanks, social media! 😝⁣
⁣
And maybe you wouldn’t know about how attainable a sabbatical can be without people like @shidad spreading the word. 💃🏾⁣
⁣
Shida and I’ve teamed up to help other Black women share their stories too. 💗 ⁣

Make sure you subscribe to BOTH @shidad and @vaycarious YouTube channels (links in our bios) so you don’t miss a second of these stories. 👀 ⁣

Spoiler alert: Everyone took time off of work for different reasons and paid for it different ways, but EVERYBODY said it was an amazing experience. 🙌🏾⁣

Hey new Travel Buddies!👋🏾 I’m Stephanie and I’m a house sitter. [I was house sitting in this pic actually. Cute, right?🏡]⁣
⁣
I started Vaycarious as a way for you to vacation vicariously through me while I was taking a grown up gap year to travel the world. But I don’t want you to travel through me anymore. I want you to GO SEE FOR YOURSELF! 💨 ⁣
⁣
I’m anti-burnout and pro-rest. I believe in taking significant time off of work to relax, recharge and reset. Trust me, it can be done on even a tight budget. 💸⁣
⁣
I believe in throwing off other people’s expectations for who you should be and how you should live. 🧜🏾‍♀️⁣
⁣
And I believe in tripod selfies so you don’t leave these beautiful places with no good pics of yourself. 💃🏾⁣
⁣
I send out a weekly newsletter about planning career breaks and getting started with house sitting. Feel free to DM me your email address and I’ll start sending it to you. 📬⁣
⁣
Let’s make the sabbatical accessible! 🙌🏾⁣
⁣
💗 Stephanie ⁣

Did you know I have a fear of mannequins? Not store mannequins, but the museum kind with actual faces. 😱😱 Catholic churches are usually a NO for me dog, but sometimes you gotta push through. Scary Jesus watched me the whole time, but I got the victory with this pic. 📸 ⁣

⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣I broke my own “No pics from inside the house sit” rule again. But...come on!😩 This rooms was MADE for a selfie shoot, right? 📸 ⁣

My story’s on @xoNecole y’all!! 🙌🏾 Most

My story’s on @xoNecole y’all!! 🙌🏾 Most of you know that I quit my job when I was 41 to travel for a year on savings. What some of you don’t know is how much cheaper it was than staying in Delaware.⁣
⁣
My place in Hoi An, Vietnam was cheaper than my electric bill in Wilmington 😩.⁣
⁣
And you’d be surprised how easy it is to plan something like this. Thanks, Internet! 👩🏾‍💻⁣
⁣
That’s why I started my YouTube channel. [Link in bio.] If you want to take time off of work to travel, I REALLY WANT YOU TO DO IT. 🌎⁣ Let me know in the comments, where would you go and what would you do? And yes, self care is a valid answer. 💁🏾‍♀️
⁣
Here’s to living life on your own terms.💃🏾⁣
⁣
And remember, brave is NOT the opposite of fear, it’s just the next step. 👣 ⁣
