Welcome back and happy New Year to everybody!

To start well our New Year I’d like to share with you an anecdote.

During these holidays I found myself looking desperately for a hotel for my parents who, late with their vacation planning, wanted to go for a little trip.
Well, despite the crisis I couldn’t find any hotel with availability in the surrounding mountain areas. Not even one free room, if not at an unacceptable price. You can’t imagine how much I desired that my parents had planned a house swap on time.
They would have solved their New Year’s Day and began under the sign of originality, trust and money saving. They could have slept without any hurry to have breakfast in the morning or organised a nice dinner for New Year’s Eve with calm and without spending a lot of money in hotels or expensive dinners at the restaurant. They would have gone anyway on holidays in a new place, maybe a big city or a nice and green village in the mountains. At the same time, they shouldn’t have worried about leaving the house empty because someone (the house swappers) would have been there to take care of it.

But my parents, as many other people, didn’t know about the existence of home swapping (obviously now they know).
The fact is that it doesn’t seem real having the possibility to go on holidays, sleeping in a comfortable, real house without having to pay a rent. But it’s the way it is: you give me your house and I give you mine for a short time.
This is house swapping, the solution for our next vacation.

A suggestion therefore: plan in time your home exchange. It will take some time and effort thinking of everything early, but in the end the experience and the money saving will surely be worth.
You can visit our house swap ADVANTAGES SECTION if the concept was new to you.
Anyway, we will be here giving help and advice, sharing ideas and tips in order to get you the best home exchange holidays.
