 Travel on a Home Exchange

A home exchange allows you to enjoy all the benefits of a house, instead of just a room. This means you can enjoy the multi rooms, a yard and fully equipped kitchen.  Vacationing with a home exchange give you tons of space. This is especially appealing for families. With a home exchange, you have room to breathe instead of being cramped up in a hotel room.  Instead of a stuffy hotel room, a home exchange allows the entire family to stay under the same roof. This kind of accommodation is well-suited for both short term and extended stays. A home exchange offers more amenities than hotels, such as multi bedrooms, fully equipped kitchens, fireplaces, and private hot tubs and pools. Staying in a home exchange offers more privacy. Free from the environment that comes with noisy hotels, privacy is one of the biggest benefits of any home exchange. No more cramped rooms, inflated prices, noisy hallways and  surcharges. Home Exchange provides you with the extra space, amenities and privacy not found in a hotel.


Maximize your opportunities for finding a home exchange by 

  • Including a well written description of your home and area 

  • Adding photos

  • Sending out home exchange inquiries to other members

List your own home - A listing is an advertisement.  You are telling others that you are interested in receiving home exchange offers.  You interest others and attract responses by what you say in your listing.   Describe some of the tourist and community interests in your area followed by a little about your home and family.  If you have pets be sure to mention this as well.  You can share more information directly with those who respond to your listing 

Add photos - Include photos with your listing. You don't need a photo of a sunset or luxury home to entice possible exchangers to answer your listing, but photos go a long way towards attracting a steady stream of home exchange inquiries.

Actively contact other members.  Besides listing your home, send out heaps of contact emails to others wanting home exchanges.  You are inquiring about the other members' interest in an exchange with you.  Be positive and tell then a bit about your home, your family and community.
