Here's all you need to explore an extended stay in a house or apartment for free, and open up your own place in exchange.
It all worked out in the 2006 rom-com “The Holiday,” in which Kate Winslet’s British Iris and Cameron Diaz’s American Amanda escape their own routines and love lives in a two-week, cross-Atlantic home swap.
Home swaps or home exchanges, a low- or no-cost alternative to hotel and resort stays, and these days, even an Airbnb ABNB or VRBO stand-in, have been attracting travelers, remote workers, family caretakers and group retreats for extended stays for decades. One of the oldest established clubs for home-swapping connections is Home Link International. It started in the 1950s.
Still, the concept of staying in a residence is clearly here to say. In fact, one would-be swapper based in the U.S. used a TikTok video to simply ask if anyone in England wanted to trade. Before long, she had a taker. “It’s really a lifestyle exchange. You get an insider’s stay,” says Jessica Poillucci, the U.S. spokesperson for HomeExchange.
Environmental considerations For the curious, most sites have a page dedicated to ways to make home-swapping travel as sustainable as possible.
