50 calls for journalism/writing pitches (February 26, 2024)
Last week’s muddy escape to Shropshire came thanks to a website I discovered that connects pet owners who are away for a while, to people willing and able to house sit. It was so good I’ve decided I’m going to use it to explore the world every chance I get. Many of the homes are huge and plush, the animals range from the expected dogs, cats and fish, to rather less usual ponies and chickens, to comparatively exotic goats and alpacas. Its the kind of entrepreneurial idea you wish you had had yourself. Travel the world while doing favours for others for a small annual subscription to the website. Gold. I enjoyed the experience so much I just signed up as a partner, so if you want to sign up and have a try yourself (seems like a great way for travel writers and remote workers to explore different places), your registration will be helping to support this newsletter too. Enter the promo code JAMESD25 and you’ll get a 25% discount.
