We're Daniel and Dawna. For us, travel isn't just a vacation, it's about realizing there are a thousand different ways to live life.

Our paths here couldn't have been more different. Dawna spent years navigating the world as a digital nomad, mastering the long-term drift. Daniel had never set foot on a plane, and in 2023 decided he was ready to trade a life that didn't fit for a chance to see what else the world had to offer.

We've covered 15 countries and three continents. Our style loose, flexible on itinerary and mindful of budget, which has led us to house sitting. Caring for people's homes and pets has been our backdoor into local culture, letting us live in real neighborhoods and meet people we'd never find in a hotel lobby.

Along the way, house sitting became more than a travel hack and more of something we take seriously. We know how much trust it takes to hand over your home and your loved companions, and we don't take that lightly. Every sit, we aim to leave the pets happy and spoiled, and the home better than we found it .

We started Drifting Dharma as a place to share our stories, build trust with our amazing hosts, and help others gain the confidence to explore this big, beautiful world.
