When is the right time to start planning your next vacation?
The end of summer is approaching and the thought of going back to school or work might be making you a little blue! But don’t worry, we have a solution for you. Fall is the best time to plan your next travel to that dream destination you always wanted to go.
To increase your chances of finding a home exchange, we advise you to start your search at least two months in advance. Searching for vacation homes in advance will give you ample time to find and organize an exchange in your favorite destination.
If other members have not defined their travel plans yet, you can initiate the conversation by sending a brief introductory message to organize your exchange. In addition, anticipating your next travel early will allow you to save money on transportation (like train or plane tickets).
