Live at Home While On Holiday

Filed in archive Travel Tips on August 22, 2006

Have you ever wondered how the life is of those people who live in quaint, little cottages in a quaint little village in, say, Tuscany? What if, just what if, those people are also imagining life in a modern flat amidst the hustle and bustle of, say, London? A flat just like yours. Wouldn't it be perfect if you two could get to know each other, agree to go on vacation at the same time and save some money by swapping homes?!

It's possible, you know.

You could live at someone else's home while on holiday while this someone else could live at your home. You'd take care of each other's places, feed each other's cat, water the plants and, at the same time, have a nice vacation amidst an environment different as your own.

Of course, before all those can be arranged, you would have the opportunity to correspond with each other. To get to know each other before you can switch homes.

This is called Home Exchange. A different kind of travel accommodation that provides you a home away from home, at a cheaper price. And if chosen well, you could gain a friend and not worry about your little plant from dying while you are away.
