The World Through a Local's Eyes

A map by HomeExchangers all over the world

Dedicated to helping you make the most out of your vacation, The World Through a Local's Eyes is a collection of locals’ recommendations from all around the world.

Because we believe that travelling shouldn't just be about ticking to-see boxes off, it should be about meeting local cultures, discovering unknown places and travelling as a participating guest, not as a spectator.

And we believe that now, more than ever, is a time for us to rediscover the beauty of our own countries and the places around us.
