After collecting here and there some ideas from swappers’ comments I am going to give you 9 adjectives (and their reasons) to describe a home exchange…

Home exchange is:

1. Fascinating: especially when you find out new cultures, a different life style, new habits…
2. Exciting: when you find out new cultures, a different life style, new habits and especially different types of…toilet papers
3. Interesting: when you get to know new books, new CDs and artists thanks to your swappers’ library.
4. Innovative: if you’ve never been on a home exchange then it will surely be innovative. It is a different way of planning and living your journey and your entire holidays.
5. Special: home sweet home…Much more special than an anonymous hotel room.
6. Different: see point number 4 and 5, they will make 6.
7. Convenient: it’s much cheaper than other ways of travelling since you don’t have to pay for your accommodation.
8. Exhilerating: you know what you leave but you don’t know exactly what you get…it could be a marvellous villa on the beach or a little flat in the centre of a big town, or a simple house in the mountains…
9. Daring: despite the fact that you can’t plan every details you get a special thrill in doing a home exchange

Isn’t it enough to home swap?
