 Since summer is coming, travelers is starting to think about how they will travel, HomeExchange is a new way to do it.

Summer is coming faster than it seems and a lot of people are wondering what they could do this season. Many would like to travel, but think that’s impossible since it costs too much money. Price for hotels, fuel, and food have increased substantially over the last months. This site called HomeExchange is the perfect solution for everyone who wants to visit the world, but also wants to cut the costs from traveling. 

HomeExchange allows you and your family to travel anywhere in the world without paying for hotels, restaurants and having to pay for a car. The membership costs about 200$ per year and allows you to do as many exchanges as you want, anywhere around the globe.

Here is an example of what you could save. For a 10 day trip to Boston including a 3-star hotel, activities and restaurants for a family of 4 would cost more than 3500 dollars (this does not include plane tickets or transport expenses). With this app, your trip will cost you less than 1000 dollars including activities, groceries and gas for the same family and time period. We can also compare it with the school trip to Boston. The price is 400 dollars for one student without food for 2 nights, so for 10 nights the cost would be around 2000 dollars.  Don’t forget that you could have a huge house for free instead of having everyone in the family in the same tiny hotel room, you can all have your own room and cook as much as you want!

This also helps discover the city from another point of view. In fact, when you find your exchange partners, they will often help you find good activities to do with your family and avoid tourist traps. Of course, you will do the same for them. This way, you will live like a local of the city and get the best part of what is to see and do. 

Some people might not be comfortable sharing their house with strangers, but remember that since you communicate often with your exchange partners before, there are good chances that you will consider them as friends and the trust issues won’t be present anymore. Also, previous exchangers leave comments, so you can choose only experienced exchangers if you prefer. Finally, HomeExchange provides insurance in case of accidents or problems caused by a guest at your place.  

To finish, HomeExchange is perfect for people who are starting to travel and who don’t want to spend too much money on a trip, and also for families who need space bigger than a hotel room. It’s easy to use and very useful.
