Home exchange

Home swapping is a cheap holiday alternative in which you exchange (or switch) houses with another person or family.

In the film "The Holiday" the characters played by Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet swap their homes, one in England and the other in Los Angeles.



Express your opinion: Would you be ready to swap houses with somebody you don't even know?
Have a look at the Home Exchange website.
