If we become members, is there a good chance that there will be a family in or near London that would want to come to Nova Scotia and exchange with us? We have a two story, four bedroom home on the ocean. - Joan D. A: Although there isn't a great deal of time to arrange an exchange for late June - late July, you should have a very good chance of finding Home Base Holidays members in London or nearby who will be interested (there are many members in London and the southeast of England generally). Canada is a popular destination with UK members and (apart from those who seem to want exchanges in Vancouver only!) many will consider any area in Canada for home swaps. You have lots in Halifax and Nova Scotia to interest visitors and it would be helpful to include information (perhaps tourist information website URLs) within your listing to give those who don't know the city and province a useful guide to local attractions to persuade them to take up your exchange offer. I take it that you want to see the sights of London but don't necessarily want to be based right in London. As well as lots of London listings (suburbs and central), there are many exchange offers in surrounding counties that may be of interest (most will have good, quick public transport into London), e.g. Surrey, Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent, Buckinghamshire, Sussex, Berkshire. On the search page, choose England from the drop down country list and then choose London or any of the nearby counties from the drop down state/county list to browse current exchange offers. Are you able to consider a slightly later period for an exchange? Apart from members in England with children in private schools, most families with school age children probably won't want to exchange until the last week in July to the end of August, to fit in with the school holidays here. If it would be difficult for you to move your own dates forward by three weeks, you could also consider a home exchange for the last half of your trip to England if unable to arrange an exchange for the full period, June 25 - July 25. Most members are able to compromise a little on dates! Q: I was just reading the interesting stories on your website. Our family of four from Halifax, Nova Scotia would like to travel to England this summer (June 25 - July 25) and I think that home exchange might be the best way to do this. I read with interest about the family with their 'High Barnet' home near London.
