Can anyone take part in a home exchange?

Home Exchange is great way to travel and save on accommodation costs.  The reality is that home exchange vacation travel is not for everyone.  There are individuals that love to have maids clean their rooms, make up their beds and don't mind paying for add on charges as found in hotels.  The thought of cleaning someone else's home before they leave isn't in their vacation plans.  Unless one is open to doing household chores or bringing their own maid with them on an exchange (some people do) a home swap may not an enjoyable vacation alternative, 

Anyone with a home can take part in a home exchange. If your home is rented it's best to check first for permission from your landlord.

Some people are better suited to home exchange than are others. For some, exchanging saves on hotel bills, allowing them to afford more destinations they wish to visit. For others it's comfort, spaciousness or a lifestyle choice. In some isolated or rural locations, home exchange may provide the only available accommodations. 

If the thought of having strangers in your home, sleeping on your bed bothers you then swapping homes may not be the thing for you. You may want to save money in other ways and stay in inexpensive hotels or vacation home rentals when you travel. Keep in mind that other guests before you use the beds you sleep in at a hotel or rental. Your exchange home bed has probably only been slept in by one or two other people on a regular basis; compared with the hundreds or thousands of people who sleep in the average hotel bed.

The are also those who avidly collect antiques and other valuables. Many are house proud.  Their home is their palace and they would find it difficult to trust strangers in their home.  A home exchange may be impractical for some.  

For most, swapping homes for holidays is a fantastic way to travel.
