Posts about Vacation Home swaps as of August 7, 2009

Guest post written for Travel the Home Exchange Way by The Adventure Company:I was thinking about killing two birds with one stone this spring by organising a house swap and enjoying a Moroccan holiday at the same time. There can’t be many countries better for stimulating activity holidays than Morocco, but many of the traditional homes in the mountains are extremely remote and not really suitable (or available) for swaps.

Lydia from HomeForHome.com was kind enough to send a summary of their site.  Sounds interesting!  Would you swap home with someone for a period of time?  Seems like this could turn even mundane destinations into an adventure! In terms of our day to day lives, the internet is massive. Irrepressible. But apart from time spent literally using the computer, how far does internet affect the way we live?  Well, the interesting new phenomenon of online home swapping would certainly suggest that such online communities can radically change the travel and holiday options that many internet users have.

   With property prices falling faster than Gordon Brown’s facial expression, I’ve been thinking about ways to make money from your house. Three ideas spring to mind: The most obvious one: take in a lodger. If things got tight at Thrifty Towers this is what we would do, although the idea of there being a second person to fight for the TV remote is pretty horrifying. Register your house as a film shoot locations. I’ve put our house on the Screen Yorkshire database.

The global economic crisis is biting hard, making travel seem more and more like a luxury. But there are still ways you can take off for your well-deserved break without breaking the piggy bank. Here are a few simple ideas: Swap your house Have you seen the movie The Holiday , where Cameron Diaz’s character swaps her flashy mansion in Hollywood for Kate Winslet’s cute little farm cottage in England? Okay, so swapping homes is little more complex than the movie makes out, but the basic plot is the same: you simply choose your ideal destination, find a match, then swap your house for theirs and you both get to stay for free.
