Seniors around world share the common concerns about the high cost of travel and  vacations. As a senior I like to travel too, but cringe at the thought of paying thousands of dollars for hotel rooms.  That's why house swapping is so practical.  You enjoy spacious, free accommodation when you travel. 

Swapping houses with other travelers who live in places you’d like to visit is a great way to reduce the cost of travel without compromising on comfort and convenience.

Often, the cost of traveling gets in the way of having a good time. For years, smart home exchange vacationers have taken advantage of a unique way to see the world — at significantly lower costs.

Why a home exchange?  Home exchange is the smart way to vacation.  By trading homes for vacations, families, seniors and singles can enjoy free accommodation wherever they travel.   Swapping homes for holidays is a practical and sensible vacation alternative. Not only do you save by not paying for lodging (hotel rooms, surcharges, resort fees and taxes), you can also save by not paying for restaurant meals, parking, laundry, internet connection, and much more. 

Seniors unfamiliar with the process are often concerned that their home won't be suitable - perhaps too small, or in an unfashionable location. These concerns are rarely obstacles to a successful swap; after all, home is home, and if you're happy with your place, chances are someone else will be, too. Home swappers can be singles, family groups or retirees.  Teachers have embraced the concept more than any other profession, perhaps due to their holiday or work-exchange opportunities, and seniors often have the flexibility to take holidays at any time.

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.   Then 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 or to your inquiries.

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. Global and are partner clubs have plenty of seniors or you are welcome to exchange homes with younger families.  The choice is yours.  Be positive and share a bit about your home, your family and community.  You don't need to say too much but definitely don't be negative.
