Home Exchange: My blog is all about how to swap your home for a free vacation. As well as addressing questions that those new to the idea of exchanging homes often have, I also include special home exchange requests and links to relevant articles and sites for further information.

"Very interesting site!" I think it is also. Covering a much needed Niche of Swapping Homes. A very good Alternative. Your blog is well thought out and formatted. I'll visit from time to time.

Being in the biz...I have heard of this before but have never had any requests from clients. Maybe we should think about a link exchange or something similar between us. Thanks for stopping by.

Barbara Skinner Said:
Thanks for your comments about my blog, Lois. We'd LOVE to do an exchange, but right now the only thing that's worse for our US$ than the euro is the British pound! Let's hope things improve in the future, since England has such a special place in my heart.

Interesting concept and definitely an option for budget travelers. I heard about this before and seems to be a success. Keep up the good work!
Natalie Said:
Your blog is well set up, pleasing to the eye, and has lots of fun information. I have a cute question for you: was the movie 'The Holiday' based on your business? Even your pictures resemble that in the film, lol. I think its a brilliant way to market yourself.
Di Hill Said:
This is a good site - and I've put a link from Diary of a House Sitter on it, and mentioned it on my site Great Blog Sites. I'd rather house sit - but I have friends who house swap. It is another option to cut the cost of holiday accomodation and your site is very interesting.
