Discover home exchange with stories from our members.
This story of a home exchange to Monaco was shared with us by Dennis and Denise.

1. Where did you go on your home exchange?
2. How did you find your exchange?
I contacted them through the HomeExchange website.
3. What was it that attracted you to this exchange opportunity?
Firstly the location & their preferred destination was to visit our area & all the photos & details provided on their profile. This ticked all the boxes for our dream exchange.

4. Tell us about your arrival:
This was a reciprocal exchange however they had arranged a relative to meet us at Monaco railway station with a warm welcome & escorted us to the home. She spent a considerable amount of time advising us how the apartment functioned & also recommending where to go - what to do & see.
This was a great introduction to Monaco.
5. What did you see or do during your exchange?
There was a vehicle included in this exchange therefore allowing us to travel extensively throughout the French Riviera & the Northern part of Italy, enabling us to enjoy all these areas had to offer.

6. What is the favorite memory from your exchange?
Our favourite memory from this exchange was the great communication & our home away-from-home experience. Another memory was living like a local.
7. How would you describe home exchange to your family and friends?
Home exchange has opened a whole new traveling chapter in our lives where we can travel almost anywhere in the world, live like a local, a home-away-from-home at an affordable price. Not only have we had many wonderful exchanges but we have secured life long friendships & we look forward to many more.
