House Swapping Holidays to Rural, Out of the Way and Isolated Locations

Over the many years that we have worked with home swapping for vacations,  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 horseback riding, 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.

Can your desired destination influence your exchange choices? 

There is at least one home exchange organization that advises it's members that all locations are not desirable and someone that lives in a rural area shouldn't expect an exchange from someone living in Tuscany, Rome or New York. 

Our experience over many years with Global Home Exchange membership is different. We have had members from remote areas find exchanges to Europe, members in Edmonton Canada find an exchange in the Caribbean in January and members in the Australian outback find the exchange they wanted in the USA.
