Home Exchange

By Jill Singer

"A unique way for families to vacation is with home exchange, where families can swap a stay in their home for a stay in someone else’s home. This enables families to travel anywhere around the world without being limited by the high cost of lodging. Home swap is ideal for families for a whole host of reasons, from having a comfortable home base to the additional space that a home affords to all of the financial benefits. Besides saving the cost of a hotel room, another financial benefit that should not go unnoticed is that home swappers have the option of saving a tremendous amount of money on dining as well. They’ll often eat some meals at home, and lunches are easily packed for a day trip when one has a kitchen at one’s disposal.

The uniqueness of a home swap program is that families can travel anywhere and anytime without having to find someone to use their home. Many young members with children have parents who have vacation or second homes, perhaps a home in Florida, a ski home, or a beach house. The extended family joins the Network, listing the parents’ vacation home. Any member of the family is then free to travel to another home in the network. The hosting member receives an Exchange Credit to use the next time they travel to another member’s home."

How cool is that?!
