(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 08, 2012 ) Montreal, WI -- The popularity of home exchange as mainstream vacationing alternative has already gained wide acceptance from savvy travelers. More and more people are opening their homes in exchange for free accommodation to a vacation anywhere in the world.
Heidi Mitchell, senior editor of Travel + Leisure Magazine said in an interview with NBC, “It’s basically like a real estate listing and an online dating…The more you broaden your expectations, your flexibility and your time then the more likely you will find exactly what you want”.
Vacationing through home swapping not only allows you to stay at your dream spot with basically nothing. Home owners also give you insider tips on fabulous places to go. With no hotel bills to worry about, you have all the money to go around and shop. If you are a wise traveler, your dream vacation is still possible despite this tough economy.
Wendy and Michael L, former event planners from Wellington will be spending their 2-week vacation this summer in France. They have exchanged their home with a retired couple who will be staying in their abode for the duration as well. She says, “I was so surprised at the quality of the homes”. The house they will be staying in is not huge but comparing it to a hotel room it is huge. She adds, “I’m going be in their house with their things and they are going to be here with my things so there is got to be a level of trust there”. It is still a little while before April but Wendy is so excited she is already planning her next home swap for when the next vacation comes.
With the popularity of home exchange beginning to rise, more people are given the chance to experience their dream vacation with as little as nothing. The prospect of staying in a place experiencing their lifestyle not as a tourist but as a local is hard to pass up.
