How much do YOU think we spent in total whilst house sitting in Portugal for 1 year? This is our End of Year Round up where we explain to you what we have been doing, how we got these house sits and exactly how much we spent in total.
Did it come under our average budget of $20 US each per day? Watch to find out. You might be very, very surprised.
House sitting is an amazing way for long term travellers to save money on accommodation, as well as benefit from many other factors. We’ll give you an insight into how we got into it and haven’t looked back. Hope you enjoy!

I recognise some of those pets 🥰
You really are the king and queen of frugal. I can conform what you say about house sitting. As well as cost savings another big bonus we (as house sitters) get out if it is our animal fix. It's like a free rent-a-pet when you cannot commit to having one of your own!
How do you get around the 90/180 day visa rule?
Great video, folks, very inspirational. Thsnk you for akways shating great tips and excellent info.
Oh my goodness guys! This video is incredible! YOU are incredible! Such a great example of to live abroad within a budget or…less! 😉. As always, so appreciate you taking the time to teach us Frugal Travelers wannabes how its done! Thanks so much Mandy and Lee!
You talked about expenses, how do you generate revenue to offset the expenses.
Wow, under $5,000 for the year! That's just incredible. I also love that you keep track of your budget the "old school" way, Lee. I still prefer to write with pen and paper myself. Great video, thank you!
TrustedHouseSitters is great! We’ve been using them since January this year so we can definitely vouch for it. We only had positive experiences and we’ve been enjoying this slower way of travelling. All the best, frugal travellers! Micha & Justina
Awe, that Mishka! She and Zeus are such beauties… all of them are though!! I've done a lot of pet sitting in the past… and house-sitting. A few older dogs with very particular routines and special needs.
Please…. please don't leave before I get there! i hope to meet you both in person, if you can wait until January. I've had visions of you taking care of my cat while I do some traveling… LOL
Thanks for a great video Mandy & Lee xx
Wow! That is incredibly cheap! You really ARE frugal travelers! 👍👍👍
My goodness. There was a lot of editing that went into this video. Great job! Also it was incredible to see the total. Very impressive 👍
I’ll be sad when you guys leave Portugal because you’ve given me educational insights for my upcoming move, but I guess your future countries can be travel inspiration for me too.
I'm gobsmacked! Well done!
That is absolutely insane! You're definitely living up to your name! That's just so impressive. Obviously a lot of hard work has gone into the housesitting responsibilities, but it looks like it's been a perfect experience for you guys. And the places you've stayed at look so nice as well. We're envious of that pool!
Brilliant video, guys!!!
At least spreadsheets don’t get chewed, I guess. The dog ate your homework!!!
How would you feel about looking after tarantulas or snakes? I don’t suppose anyone would trust Lee to look after their pet scorpion if they had watched the earlier videos from your back catalogue. Hee Hee Hee
Your channel is so helpful 😍🥰😘 new sub and bell ❤
Hi Team MandyLee.. Great video (as usual), it's hard to believe how cheap that year in Portugal was.
That said, it has a counter part, meaning you guys didn't travel much the country itself.
The house sitting is quite appealing as I would probably house sit just for the animals.
I Hope you guys are enjoying your time with your visitors from NZ & Wishing you a lovely weekend 😎
That's amazing they do say Portugal you get good value for money. But that is fantastic effort 👏.
Great info. Would love to house/animal sit as a way of experiencing a country. Portugal is definitely on my travel list, thanks to your videos. Look forward to seeing you both back in NZ. Xox
Can't wait until we can get over there and meet you guys 🙂
Wow guys that is incredible! What a great way to experience an amazing country like Portugal too. And a lot of followers have shared your experiences as well, thank you.
