Ever wondered what HomeExchangers really think of us? Take a look at these great videos from our members!
Over the last couple of months, we’ve been encouraging our members to send us short films of themselves talking about HomeExchange. Our idea was simple - we wanted to show anyone who is new to the concept of home exchanging just how much fun they could have if they chose to try this amazing way of traveling. And the results of this campaign were fantastic!
Our brilliant members sent in loads of fantastic videos, each sharing their own personal thoughts and recommendations on using HomeExchange.
We’ll be sharing all of these videos in the near future, but for now, we wanted to give you a taster of the films that we’ve received. If you’re considering joining our community, we’d urge you to take a peek at the wonderful travel adventures that await you…

Tamie reveals how she and her family have traveled to Valencia, Rome, Majorca, the South of France and the Isle of Wight - to name but a few exchange destinations! Plus she shares her advice for swapping everything from homes to cars…
'I host people in my guest room'
Recent retiree Mike has only been a member of HomeExchange for one year, but he’s already enjoyed 20 exchanges to countries such as France, Spain and Greece.

Aisling from Dublin initially signed up to HomeExchange 6 years ago to enjoy a dream vacation to Australia - and she hasn’t looked back! She shares her suggestions on preparing your home for your guests, and discusses why she prefers home exchanging over soulless rental properties.
'The kids love finding new toys to play with!'

‘Traveling with a baby is so much easier with HomeExchange’
