Caravan is a house swap and short term sublet listing for commercial creatives and those working in the advertising/media/fashion/art and design industries. If you're a photographer, illustrator, art director, film director, practicing artist, stylist, designer, make up artist, DOP, producer (shall I go on?) this listing is for you. If you travel internationally for work, marketing, relocation, or just curiosity, and you're feeling the GFC pinch, read on!

Why would I house swap or sublet?

If you're an art director relocating internationally for a new job, you can find sublets for far less than the price of a hotel. If you're a photo assistant wanting to try New York on for size, you could post a 'house sitter available' ad and have no accommodation costs at all. And if you want to do some marketing in Paris, maybe someone in Le Marais has a vacant apartment you could rent very cheaply for a few days in exchange for walking their little Bouledogues Français. A room in LA for a bedsit in New York? A harbourside Sydney apartment for a Collingwood terrace? The possibilities are endless and the costs are miniscule compared with even a modest hotel bill, not to mention the savings of being able to cook at home. If you have a flat you are leaving vacant while you travel, why not list it as a sublet? You'll recoup some of your rent, your property will be more secure, and you'll have someone to feed your pets and plants.

About us

Caravan's Trustee is an international creative jetsetter and creative agent.  When she has relocated internationally in the past, she has been known to spend crazy amounts on (crummy) hotel bills, not to mention a long running restaurant tab. It takes from three weeks to a month to find a flat in a major city. It's a very expensive adventure.  This is the resource she longed for during three years of international travel, work, and marketing trips. Now the crunch has really hit, we hope this will help you save a buck and keep you and your business mobile.
