Lauma Brežģe Travels the World by Pet-Sitting in Strangers' Homes

Lauma Brežģe has found a way to see the world without spending heavily on accommodation. She pet-sits for strangers, staying in their homes rent-free while looking after their animals. This travel method echoes earlier trends: in the early 2000s, Couchsurfing allowed travelers to stay for free with locals. Later, Airbnb offered cheap rooms or beds in private residences. Over time, both platforms have become more expensive and upscale, making it harder to find budget-friendly stays. Lauma uses pet-sitting opportunities to save money, experience local life, and care for animals. This style suits animal lovers who want affordable travel.
