A guide to stay in an expensive part of London during the Olympic games without paying anything. House sitting company Trusted Housesitters says people are waiting to get their Olympic tickets and consequently look for housing for this period in the summer. Several types of housing is being offered, and you only pay the sign-up fee to register. The homes are for free. There is a downside, because most houses are being offered because the owners are looking for someone to mind their pets, but if you’re allergic or just do not want to babysit pets there are other options listed in the article.



The option of house sitting is not a bad idea, not only for the Olympic games, but for my stay abroad too. I had an inkling this might actually work for other students. Why would it not be able to work? These houses are offered even to foreigners, in my opinion an English student trying to get a teachers degree will probably have one step ahead of others.
