This was great! You even covered the plants! Impressive!

I prep the house for AIR BNB guests. Making money from our property while we are away has lead to more holidays/better holidays. We always travel over Christmas, long weekends and these are the times people want a place to rent. Money while we sleep!!! People ask me, but you have people sleeping in your bed, I say, when you travel you sleep in hostels/hotels where you sleep on beds that no doubt have seen way more crazyiness, but you’re ok with that?

Hey guys, useful vlog! I put my house plants in the kitchen sink and in the bath tub. I stand them on unturned pots and cover the pots with dish towels. I then fill the sink or bath with water up to immediately below the plant pots. The cloths soak up the water and the plants take what they need and no more. Both dies of thirst or drowns. The risk is, though, the you come to love your bathtub with lush plants. My partner was not so thrilled at my suggestion to leave them He loves a soak in the tub and it save me the money of buying new plants for the house. Travel well guys

Can you guys make a winter carry on packing video?

[purposemind]

Ohhh Yeah! Coming back to a CLEAN house is the BEST 💚💚💚

[lavayuki]

Great ideas! I always clean my bathroom and change the sheets. Asking your neighbour to park in your lot if a great idea, never thought about that!

[divinadivina]

I keep a list with to-dos for the trip+home and one for stuff inside the luggage, so that I don't forget stuff

[MissGinger]

I have the ring doorbell and it’s pretty useful!

[liziwiklauri]

So helpful 👍. I just leave my grandperents at my place while I'm gone 🤣

[wildgeesemediaagency]

I rarely do half of the things on your list, for shame! In the past we've returned to half dead plants, mouldy broccoli at the bottom of the fridge and I've been cut off I don't know how many times from my cards! Thanks for inspiring others to travel and follow in your footsteps, if you're ever in southern Spain again that's where you'll find us😁

I recommend using LED bulbs (e.g. from LFX) which offer an infra-red lighting mode to illuminate a dark house -- you of course need security cameras which have a good night vision mode.

Also, t-mobile offers a very reasonable international roaming plan with essentially unlimited data -- all for $90 a month. I travel internationally a lot and I never need to go into roaming mode. My Android phone has a wifi calling mode so as long as I have a wifi signal I can call to the US for free! (this isn't Skype it's my real GSM US number tunneled over wifi). So I can use my phone away from wifi and not have a huge roaming bill.

Another option is airbnb or house sitting. There is an app for both of those I believe. When I was gone for 8 weeks last summer I had someone house-sit there, you don't pay and it makes sure that your fur-children and plant-children stay safe.

Clean your room, do your bed, wash the dishes. Best feeling is returning to a clean home

[joanna.mytravels]

I always have a checklist of things to do and check before I leave for a trip. I do most things mentioned here: locked doors and windows, blinds down, unplug most devices, check tabs and sinks, throw away the trash. I always have a separate list for things I have to pack in the morning or before I leave for my flight like toothbrush, phone charger, passport, money etc.

[Triekki]

We got the ring doorbell and it’s great! We’ve had an issue with the connection and sometimes the camera will work but not the doorbell. The physical connection looks perfect though. Anyone else had this issue?

Thanks for another awesome video!

[cherylmiller]

I also set my thermostat up or down, depending on the season.

[ShalmaliAthalye]
