Members' home swap experiences
Awesome views over the Med from our home swap in Port Vendres, France

Home swap trip to France "We swapped homes from 9th Sept to 9th Oct 2015. The home was very comfortable and well equipped with fantastic views out over the Med from both the upstairs and downstairs patios. We loved the many hikes/walks in the area plus of course the delicious food available in the local restaurants and cafes. Port Vendres plus nearby Collioure and Banyuls sur mer are charming and beautiful. We also enjoyed venturing into the nearby mountains for trips to abbeys, thermal baths, and rivers for kayaking. We found the local people very friendly and helpful even though our knowledge of the French language was very minimal. Ronny and Brian were great in answering any questions we had. We highly recommend this swap!"  Jerry & Maralyn
 
Highlights of the swap:
  1. Awesome views out over the Med
  2. Lots of nearby walks/hikes
  3. Short drive to the mountains

 
Home Q&A: inviting guests to your home swap home
Leave a bunch of flowers for your swap partners Q: I'm looking to arrange a swap in London between February and March 2016. I used to live in London and still have friends in England. Is it okay to invite a friend to stay over in the exchange home? 
 
A: One fantastic aspects of home swapping is the flexibility it allows you. However if you do plan to invite a friend back to the exchange home, especially for an overnight stay, it is important that you have discussed and agreed this with your home swap partners in advance.
 
One extra tip: leave your home swap partners home in even better condition than when you first arrived (the home was spotless? Leave a bunch of flowers!).
