HomeExchange Memembership Giveaway * CLOSED*

AD

 If you have more then two children then holiday's can be pretty expensive and a tricky business, as hotel rooms rarely cater for larger families. So when I heard of HomeExchange I thought that this would be a great idea for someone with a larger family or someone who prefers home comforts. 

HomeExchange is a company that helps you arrange to home swap with another member in over 150 countries worldwide for a holiday in each other's homes. So you go and visit another country on holiday and stay at someones home rather than a costly hotel and they go and have a holiday at your home at the same time. HomeExchange have twenty year's experience with 65,000 listings on their website and have helped over 1,000,000 exchanges take place to date.

How it work's is you sign up and pay the membership fee which is £100 per year. You then add your home to the listings making sure you add photo's of your home and videos if you wish. You then describe your home including any local attractions that people may be interested in, ensuring that you are honest with your review. 

You then search over 65,000 worldwide listings to see if there is a home in a country you would like to visit and see if they would like to swap homes with you for a holiday. This can save you a huge 58% saving on your holiday costs as once you pay the membership fee that's it there are no extra accommodation costs involved. 

It also means that you can experience what life is really like as a local in the country you are visiting, and there will be lots of home comforts such as a kitchen to cook in and a homely environment which you would not experience in a hotel.

Once you have found someone to swap with you just need to make sure that you are both happy with the exchange and arrange dates that will suit you both. You then sign a digital exchange agreement which helps make the exchange more official and stops any confusing.

One of the things that I think many people will be unsure of when swapping homes with a stranger for a holiday is safety. But HomeExchange is built upon a community of honesty, trust and commitment. When you are exchanging your home with someone you are entrusting your home with your swap partner and vice versa. HomeExchange also has lots of measures in place to ensure your safety such as your details are never shared with anyone, and there is a safe secure messaging system in place so your e-mail address and name are protected. 

There is also a verification process where members details are all checked and verified and members have detailed profiles. You can also check reviews that other members have left about a member to see what others thought. And there is also local support staff on hand who will speak your own language in case you need their assistance. And it is okay to say no to any potential swap that you may feel uncomfortable with. You only need to agree to an exchange that both parties are happy with. 

Being a member of HomeExchange costs £100 for a twelve months membership, if you do not exchange with anyone in that time then your second year's membership is free. There are lots of benefits to becoming a member such as you can list your own home, browse 65,000 listings, the chance to visit one of 150 + countries, you get to experience real life vacations and save up to 58 % compared to normal accommodation costs and there is also support 24/7 from the HomeExchage team.
