200,000 reasons to bond
Because we love your stories and anecdotes about encounters, adventures and shared moments that go far beyond simply home exchanging...
From Kamila
To Carina & Vincent
“What a fantastic trip it turned out to be! From the breathtaking Alhambra to sun-soaked beaches, the stunning sights of Gibraltar, and the delightful cuisine, we truly had an unforgettable time.
Our exchange partners, Carina and Vincent, enjoyed three busy weeks at our place, escaping the Spanish heat to explore France, Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium, and the Netherlands—all in one stay.
The best part? We got to meet in person, and we’ve stayed in touch since returning home. Now, how cool is that?”
From Manus
To all his hosts and guests over the year
"It had been a pleasure meeting so many wonderful people and introducing them to Donegal, Ireland, and as I live on my own, am retired and very flexible as to when and where i can travel, it has been a huge positive addition to my life.
I am so grateful to all the Home Exchangers who have made me feel so welcome and to those who have visited my home. Thank you all so much and also thanks to Homexchange for a great platform."
From Renatta
To her Roman host
"My Roman host understood my story, trusted my words and opened her beautiful home. During our conversations she said “HomeExchange will make your travel dreams come true!"
I was touched by her kindness. I was very well received, we exchanged local gifts and I took care of her plants every afternoon while watching the Roman sunset and even St. Peter’s Cathedral!"
What about you: who's your HomeExchanger of the year?
How about sending a little love to that special person (or people) you hosted or stayed with, who left you with a lasting memory after your home exchange, regardless of whether or not you met?
Whether it was the time you spent together, the warm welcome, the little touches, or the friendship that grew out of your exchange, we're giving you the opportunity to thank that person by naming them as your "HomeExchanger of the Year" and telling us why.
Because home exchanging is first and foremost about relationships between people who have decided to trust each other and share🙏🏽
