Save Money on Spring Break - Blog Entry

13 Mar 2009 12:43 AM

We've done numerous home exchanges to date.

Home exchanging has allowed us to save on accommodation costs, car rental expenses, and restaurant meals... Other benefits include the friends that we've made. We've stayed in touch with most of the people we exchanged with. And have also visited with them years later.

Families with children also benefit from having a whole house rather than a single room for the duration for the holiday. We often swap with other families, which usually means our kids have new toys to play with during the holiday.

For anyone serious about trying this out, we strongly recommend that you join a reputable home exchange club. There are numerous clubs you can join, but one that has worked out really well for us is http://www.HomeForSwap.com

Finding a home exchange may require some effort but we have always found that it's been well worth it!
