Find a Home Exchange
Home exchange, also known as flat swapping, happens to be our preferred way to travel. While it does take a little more time and effort to set up than just booking a hotel, you save a lot of money on accommodations. In our experience, staying in a private home ends up being quieter and more private, and you feel far more secure about your belongings.
Setting up a home exchange can take some persistence, but it very worth the work. We have had success just using Craigslist.com, but there are some other sites that specialize in home exchange and are stronger internationally than Craigslist. HomeExchange and HomeForExchange
are two companies that specialize in home exchanges and are stronger in international swaps.
