Home Exchange – Fun and Low Cost Way to Travel

Home exchange or home swap arrangements are a way to increase your enjoyment of travel and save money at the same time. By spending some time in someone's home when you are vacationing, and allowing people to spend some time in yours when you're not there, you can enjoy all the accommodations of a house while in an unfamiliar location?

Advantages of House Exchange

The most obvious advantage of house trading is that it is free. Except, perhaps, for the cost of a service to help homeowners locate each other, and the travel expenses for getting there, no money changes hands for the use of a home away from home.

But house swapping is more than just a way to vacation on the cheap. It is also an opportunity for vacationers to have an experience that is closer to the way local residents in their adopted city actually live. Home exchangers can get to know the neighbors, shop at the local grocery store, and enjoy more of the comforts of home while travelling.

At the same time, they have the assurance of knowing that their own home is occupied in their absence, reducing the chance of break-ins or other problems and negating the need to pay a house sitter.

How to Find a Vacation Exchange

There are a number of reputable web sites designed to allow prospective home exchangers to list their residence..

Homes are generally our most expensive assets and swapping homes means not only will your home be cared for while you are on holiday but lived in homes are also safer.  By swapping homes rather than leaving them empty, you and your exchange partners will make best use of both homes and not contribute to the growth of large hotel developments that are eyesores causing environmental damage in some of the most beautiful areas.
