sublet my rented house for 3 months?

I wouldn't do it. I have rented out a room before but I was still living there so the risk wasn't as big. I would take the second option and put my stuff in storage. HTH!

Can a friend or family member house sit for the time you are away?

thanks Krysalyss, yes it is a big risk. I just noticed our avvy's are very similar

LittleMissSummer - thanks, great idea. I might put the word out and see if anyone is interested. It's possible, I live in an area known for seasonal fruit picking work so I may get someone interested

Sub-letting is a recipe for disaster. Don't do it.

House-sitting is a potential option but make sure you do HEAPS of background checks (or go through an agency that does them for you) if it's someone you don't know.

Oh yeah! Maybe its a sign I should come to Africa with you!
