Housesits or room rentals

9 years ago

Hi

I am planning to travel to, and stay in Nic around September for a period of 3 to 6 months. The purpose of the trip (aside from exploring) is to get a feel for the potential of a long term stay.

As much as I like to support and gel with locals, I need to brush up on my Spanish. Thus I would initially like to be proximal to expats.

Given that a lot of expats travel home or elsehwere, I wonder if house/pet sitting opportunities exist? No charge just an exchange. I get a free place to stay while owners get peace of mind.

If no such sitting scenarios are available, then I wonder what one could expect to pay for a room in an expat's home?

I am Canadian, 53, male. Friendly, well traveled (though only in Nic for a few days), honest, dependable, speak "decent" Spanish, and am good (excellent) with animals of all shapes and sizes.
I'm super clean, quiet, personable and very able to maintain and/or repair almost anything.
Ideally I would like to arrange a (or a few) house/pet sit(s).
However, the rooming idea is also appealing.

I'd consider all locations and opportunities, though would prefer somewhere situated well as a hub from which to venture out....;).

I'd appreciate info on any leads or needs. Please post or PM.

Thanks
