Retired professional now turned Nomad

63, Retired IT Professional

Hi there! I’m Gurd, originally grew up in London (UK) where I purchased my first house just 1.5 years after finishing University.
In 1999 I was able to move to the Bay Area in CA (during the Dotcom boom era), thanks to my IT qualifications and experience.

After several rentals in the Bay Area, in 2004 I purchased my own home in Orinda CA, having already owned 4 SFH rentals in FL, which I started buying in 1996 and finally left CA in 2018 to move to Flower Mound TX.

I love to travel and have been to at least 23 international airports & cities as well as the following recent road trips:-
1) San Diego CA to Vancouver BC and then onto Flower Mound TX.
2) Later that year, Flower Mound TX to Toronto ON, then onto MA, NJ, FL & back to TX.
3) Dallas TX to Vancouver BC (in 72 hours) and back to TX again via CA in 2019
4) Vegas to Troy OH and then onto Denver CO for several months of sittings

Spent December 2021 - January 2022 in London UK visiting family and friends after the lockdowns.
Left Texas April 2022 and after visiting the Houston area for business, spent 2 months in Arkansas before traveling to Whitby, Ontario Canada for 20 weeks. There I looked after Felix, a 4 year old cat and helped look after the owners grandmother who is 87 and suffering from dimentia.
After leaving Ontario, spent a week traveling to the West coast staying over night in each of the following States:- Indiana, Alabama, Arkansas, Texas, Arizona and Nevada.
Back in Southern California and hoping to stay in Northern California for a while before heading to British Columbia Canada in early 2023.

I would prefer medium to long term house sitting positions.

 
Peace of Mind

Happy you!
