"We have had a number very successful swaps already, including London, Bristol, Washington DC, Sydney, Cape Cod, San Francisco, France, Kent and Bedfordshire. This year we are looking forward to a swap on Vancouver Island and another swap to Sydney. We have loved our swaps and our swappers have also been happy."

Swap report: would recommend home exchanging to anyone!
 | | Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire, England |
"We've just returned from our fourth swap. Our first exchange was a longer-term one to Western Australia, and our next one will also be to WA. Our 'swappee' from the first swap has stayed in touch (we've since exchanged emails and photos) and has invited us to get in touch when we're next there.
We've also enjoyed three swaps within the UK: to North Wales, Brighton and to Northern Ireland. We even exchanged emails with the Northern Irish family and have agreed to swap with them again in about two years time. So not only do you get a free accommodation but you can make new friends as well. In addition, our son and his family have had about 15 home swaps to date and so we would recommend home exchanging to anyone!" Michael & Jean
