How do I get started?
When would you like to travel on an exchange?
Some home exchangers like to plan years
ahead, while others are open to swapping homes within a few days.
Most people who are open to swapping homes for vacations, start looking
for exchange partners 4 to 12 months ahead of leaving on their trip.
Where would you like to travel to on
an exchange?
Many home
exchange members are available to travel to almost any
destination, while others are more specific. Perhaps its to some
popular worldwide city destination such as New
York, San
Francisco, Sydney,
London
or Rome.
How about a beach home in Hawaii, the Caribbean, Gold Coast or Spain.
Maybe a the country side of France, Canada, New Zealand or the USA
appeals to you or maybe it's a ski resort in the Swiss Alps, Colorado,
Tahoe, Utah, Vermont or Alberta, that sets your appetite for travel.
What ever your destination may be, city, country side or off the beaten
path area, there are people open to exchanging homes. Start by
exploring the home
exchange listings. Then have fun planning and writing your
own listing.
