8 Tips for House Sitters

House sitting is a great way of traveling on your own time. You get to see the sites at your own pace while traveling like a local. Here are some tips to follow for new house sitters who are interested in this traveling experience. 

1. Treat your profile like your resume 

Your profile is the first thing homeowners see when they are looking for new house sitters. Be sure to use your profile to talk about all the good qualifications that make your experience shine as a house sitter. 

2  House sit for friends and family 

If you don't have experience as a house sitter, you can start off by house sitting for friends and family. The next time one of your friends goes off for a trip, ask them if they need someone to watch their home for them. Chances are they will need someone to pick up the mail for them, walk their dog and water their plants while they are away. When the house sit is over ask for their written recommendation to help you stand out as a house sitter to potential homeowners. 

3. Visit early 

Arrange a time with the homeowner to visit the home early to get a feel for how things work around the house. They can show you dog walking schedules, times when to water the plants and how to shimmy that finicky lock at the gate. You will feel more aware of how things work and more confident in your house sitting abilities. 

4. Don't be afraid to ask questions 

It's a good idea to set up an interview with the house sitter, whether in person or over video call to talk about details that go into caring for the house while they are away. If there is anything you don't understand be sure to ask them to help you better understand how things work. Maybe you want to know if you can have friends over, you can talk about policies for visitors, where you sleep in the home, and a dog walking schedules for their pets. 

5. Meet the neighbors

If you'll be staying for a while, be sure to ask the homeowner to introduce you to the neighbors. You and the homeowners will feel better knowing that the neighbors know how and why you are there and you will gain new friends in the area in case you need help about anything. 

6. Visit the local tourism office 

By visiting the local tourism office you will get to learn about the town you are staying in. Chances are you might find a good museum or an event to visit and try new experiences like a local would do. 

7. Be safe 

Especially if you're traveling alone, don't tell people your exact address and don't bring strangers back to your place. Be safe about the information you give people while you're traveling. 

8. Have fun

This is a new experience and you have never been to this town before. Try the local cuisine, go for bike ride in a park and make friends with locals. You get to travel at your own pace and make new memories that will last a lifetime. So make the best of it. 

What photographers use to edit their photos

Ever a stunning photo and wonder what the photographer used to edit their photos? There are lots of different programs out there for editing photos and if you read on you can learn about a few.

Lightroom

Lightroom is probably one of the apps that photographers use most to edit their photos. For a small subscription fee you can get access to all the editing features and even buy presents for your photos. I used kight room for a while but found another alternative to fit my budget. 

VSCO

VSCO is another subscription service that use can use to edit your photos. The aesthetic is very known for the instagram girls who use this application. It has lots of different features and filters that you can use to enhance your photos. 

Snapseed 

Snapseed is a free editing app that you can download from the Google app store and it has a lot of features like lightroom. However, I don't think you can use presets with this application. I used it after my subscription with light room ended and I like the amount of features it has.

In phone editing tool

Your cell phone likely has an in phone editing tool to adjust the exposure, contrast, high lights and shadows. I use this alot because I like the control i have over my editing. I don't like to use heavy editing on my photos just a slight adjustment and tweak to the filters to give my photos a smooth look.
