Has anyone done the exchange lodging thing where you switch homes with people from other parts of the world?

Asked by Mama_Cakes (11173points) July 27th, 2017 from iPhone

You find someone who wants to come to your part of the world and you get stay at their home/apartment during that time. Best thing is that it’s free. :)

I’m thinking of doing it. Now, who wants to visit Ontario, Canada? Lol

There are student / cultural exchange programs in which students from different parts of the world live with other family for a period of say couple of months and try to understand their traditions / way of living. I’m not sure it’s done through which org and what are eligibility criteria for that.

A friend of mine has done this, she has a beach house on Cape Cod. Her family went to Italy for a month. They loved it! They used either this site or this one. (Not sure which)

Sorry I don’t have personal experience for you. Tere are a ton of options, this is a thing, now. Good luck!

I’ve had friends who did it some years ago. I think it was part of a teacher exchange program. It worked very well.

A very close friend of mine has done it for over twenty years. Always a positive experience. I definitely would consider doing it. They have stayed all over Europe this way, usually about a month at a time. They live in Florida.

I’ve done AirBnb but not home exchanges but would consider it.
