Can I save money traveling on a home exchange?

Depending where you travel, one night at a modest hotel can be well over $100 a night plus taxes, hotel surcharges, parking and meals.  -  Imagine the savings on a 2 week home exchange vacation.  Instead of a paying for a hotel, swap homes and stay free. Saving money is not the only benefit of a home exchange. A house offers a  family  more space, more conveniences and more freedom. Plus you can experience  an area as a local, not a tourist. 

Besides saving money, what are some other benefits from swapping homes?
Many travelers join Global thinking the biggest benefit will be the money they save. This is most certainly realized with savings of hundreds to thousands of dollars on hotels, vehicles and meals.  After swapping homes most will say that the greatest benefits are experiencing an area like a local, not a tourist and having the comfort of being in a multi room home rather than a cramped hotel room.  Families with children love the spaciousness of an exchange house.

Can I exchange homes within my own region or county?
Although international home swaps will always be available, the growing trend to swapping homes within ones own region and country is the fastest and most popular use of home exchange.  

What is the length of a typical exchange?
Whatever works for you.  Global offers weekend  exchanges, short term swaps from 1 to 3 weeks and longer term swaps of several months to a year or more.  

Why would someone want to come to my house or area?

Over the many years that we have worked with exchangers, we have come to appreciate that one can not predict why someone would want an exchange to a particular area. We have had members from remote areas find exchanges from people who loved fishing and hunting.  We also have had members in Hawaii that exchanged homes with exchange partners that didn't even go to the beach and yes even members from a warm climate that just wanted to experience living for a week or two in snow.   Many Global members are open to traveling to new places, so don't let your area be a limitation to you finding a home swap.

If your home is in an out of the way area or not tourist oriented, we encourage you to send out heaps of inquiries, and put a bit of effort into explaining about your home, neighborhood and area. As Global is network of several home exchange clubs, we suggest you take advantage of the worldwide membership offered  and send our lots of inquiries to support your listing.  

May I exchange my rental apartment or rental house?
Yes.  We suggest you contact the owner of the apartment or house you are renting to get any permissions necessary.
