I’m a member of a similar house swapping program (Kindred) but I’ve been anxious about doing it since getting my cat (though I would actually pay extra to stay in someone’s house with a cat). I hope I’m not dredging up painful feelings for you, but how did handle swaps w/ Penny?

I just told folks from the get that I had a cat and clarified that they’d be happy to care for her. Most people are honest about it (and to your point, animal people tended to be thrilled!)

I love this - and visited many of the same places 2 weeks ago in CDMX. the chilaquiles at farmacia are really amazing, and the pop tarts too! and I love to grab churros at el moro and go watch the dogs play at parque Mexico :)

Hello, you mentioned being able to freelance while in this transitional work phase. Can you recommend any freelancing sites to register on? I’m in a work transition as well. TIA!

hi! i'm sorry to say this is my answer, because it would majorly frustrate me to hear it, but i've found every single freelance gig via my network. friends, old clients, old coworkers, etc. i did join a female freelancers community called shelance, but i haven't gotten anything from there as of yet!
