House-sitting & Pet-Sitting Sustainable Travel | talk with HouseSitDiva Kelly Hayes Raitt

Housesitting or Petsitting around the world is a great way to save money and live like a local, but it is also a more sustainable, slower style of travel that has greater benefits for local communities and less negative impacts on the environment. Kelly Hayes-Raitt talks about how house and pet sitting around the world has been an important part of her life for the past 13 years. This is the AUDIO version - watch the video of the interview with Kelly here: https://www.youtube.com/live/ku9j9XCcEro#sustainabletravel #housesitting #petsitting #travel #housesitdiva #howtohousesit Author, volunteer, coach, world traveler and expert house and petsitter Kelly Hayes-Raitt joins the Seek Sustainable Japan talkshow-podcast this month to share some of her book tips for housesitting as well as insights from the amazing research, volunteering projects, and journalistic writing she does while she is housesitting around the world for publications in the USA. I had the chance to meet Kelly when she came to Hiroshima for the 70th anniversary of the A-bomb attack commemorations. Kelly has traveled through many parts of Japan and she has so many great insights from her world travels including doing volunteering while she travels. As a politician in the early part of her career, Kelly talks about how she is drawn to interviews and stories of refugees from conflict and climate and we talk about some of those stories from Iraq, central America, Japan, Korea, Israel and Palestine, and Syria.== Kelly Hayes-Raitt LINKS==https://housesitdiva.com/about-kelly/Join www.Housesitmatch.com and use Discount Code FREE12 (all caps, no spaces) for a FREE 12-month Membership ( until June 30th 2023)Editor & Book Coachwww.JumpStartMyBook.orgTravel Writerwww.TravelAwaits.com/author/kelly-hayes-raitt/Blog Editorwww.HouseSitMatch.comThanks to Casey Bean for the Background Music on the 2023 Podcasts - now 2 original albums on Bandcamp where you name your price to buy his music https://caseybean.bandcamp.com/Joy (JJ) is originally from Hawaii and long-time Hiroshima-jin (local) since 1996.
