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.

dsmithMy family and I did an exchange this summer with our condo in Blowing Rock, NC. We traveled to St Petersburg, FL and had a wonderful time. After returning home we started a new website to advertise for vacation rental property exchanges called www.totovr.com (It's free for one year) We like your blog because it gives us European views which is where home exchanges started.
Best Wishes to you and your readers

NeenaI have heard about home exchange but have not looked into it. It seems like a good option to see much of the world and meet people along the way.
Barbara SkinnerThanks 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.

SusieInteresting concept and definitely an option for budget travelers. I heard about this before and seems to be a success. Keep up the good work!
NatalieYour 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 HillThis 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.
