House sitting is when you look after the house of someone who is on holiday or away for some reason. You stay there and keep it safe, but often you are in someone else's house, with only a few of your own possessions, maybe a suitcase but that's all. Hence 'living out of a suitcase'.

  • You only have a suitcase of your things and are often restricted to a small area of floor that is yours in someone else's house.
