My
Story

I'm Sara aka Miss Sassy!  A Kiwi having global adventures and living, laughing, and loving life!

 

There's nothing too special about me, well actually there is plenty special about me, but thats a story for another day!

At the age of 53, I found myself divorced and happily single, kids flown the coop, great career, and a job I loved when we had that dastardly 'C' word global pandemic and during this I 'found' a 1/2 brother in Scotland. 

 

The world had changed, New Zealand had changed, and I had changed, it was time to live life away from my 'normal' world.  I wanted to see new places, experience new things, and meet new people.

In a moment of what could be described as complete madness, I resigned from my job, rented my home out, put my household contents in storage, and booked a one way ticket to the UK!

Since arriving in the UK, I've been working, travelling, and  living my best life, I describe it as my mid-life OE (Overseas Experience)!

I started out with a full time permanent job in Scotland, that was classed as 'hybrid', but even this wasn't working for me.  Here's where my second bout of madness happened, I resigned after clocking up 12 months there, and am now working as a freelance digital nomad, splitting my time between the UK, Ireland, and Europe.

Most of my travels are 'solo', but from time to time, I go on trips with friends or family.

I've put this website together for multiple purposes., including;

  1. To share my stories and experiences of travel, house sitting, and being a freelance digital nomad.

  2. To provide content that may support you when it comes to travel, house sitting, and being a freelance digital nomad.

  3. And sorry, but not sorry, to build an affiliate marketing 'side hustle' - got to fund all of this travel somehow!

  4. To share the 'Pet Diaries' from the animals I look after when house sitting that I send to the pets 'fur parents'.

  5. And second sorry, but not sorry, to offer my services as a paid house and pet sitter - yip travel and experiences can be expensive!
