Meet Members of the HomeExchange Collection Community
HomeExchange Collection is more than just a platform, it's a community. As part of a membership, members can connect, discuss upcoming exchanges and share local travel recommendations. Here are just a few of the members featured in our latest Member Portrait Magazine.
The Leveque Family - Mercer Island, Washington
The Leveque family loves the spontaneity of home exchanging. Many of their exchanges have been spontaneously initiated by another exchanger, which has resulted in the family taking many trips that they wouldn't have considered in other circumstances. Using HomeExchange Collection, the Leveque family has enjoyed a trip to Iceland, as well as more local trips to Seattle and Florida, sometimes even exchanging their vehicles and pets in the process.
The Miglino Family - Westlake Village, California
We started home exchanging around two years ago. We have four kids so every time we would travel and stay a hotel, we ended up having to get three rooms. After looking into other options, we found out about HomeExchange and ever since we've joined we've gone to amazing places. It's the kind of thing where you really just explore all of these places in the world you otherwise wouldn't have seen if you were staying in a hotel.
The Grail Family - Paris, France
What I really like about exchanging is meeting people. We've kept a lot of friends through it. There are even people that we have seen again and that we have visited up to four times. This summer, Max-Emmanuel may go to Orlando for three weeks to visit the people with whom we had a first exchange in 2013. We saw them again when we went to Los Angeles for an exchange and we regularly talk through email. I find it really nice to be able to keep this kind of relationship.
