Home Exchange Gifts

Many people leave a small gift for their exchange partners to enjoy upon arrival. On swapping homes, we have had our exchange partners leave us fresh flowers, home made cookies, bottles of local wine, a travel package of maps and picture booklets of their area.

 

Exchanging Gifts as part of a home exchange


Many people leave a small gift for their exchange partners to enjoy upon arrival. On swapping homes, we have had our exchange partners leave us fresh flowers, home made cookies, bottles of local wine, a travel package of maps and picture booklets of their area.

When we arrived home we also have found some parting gifts. One of our partners noted that my wife collected chicken ornaments and decorations. What a nice surprise to see her collection was added to by some thoughtful guests. 



Why is a home swap a good choice?

Apart from the obvious saving on hotel bills, having a spacious multi room home to stay in while on vacation the greatest advantage of home exchange is the chance it gives you to experience a different lifestyle.

Free vacation accommodations anywhere 
You can live like a local, not a tourist 
more comfortable, more spacious than a hotel 
exchange to nearby places, across your country or around the world 
Families with kids love it
