'Free House - House Swaps Make Pocket-Friendly Holiday Options': 'Prudence' Magazine Article

'Prudence', described as 'a new kind of magazine for feisty Irish females', published an excellent article on home exchange in the April 2005 issue. Zoë Clarke's article begins:

'You plan your much-needed two week holiday to the sun and close the door behind you as you head to the airport. But what if, while you were away, a complete stranger was living in your house, using your bathroom or even worse, sleeping in your bed? Unless you are an unfortunate target of a burglary you are more likely to be house swapping, the cheap alternative way to holidaying abroad.'

and ends:

'If holidaying in a villa in Mexico is something you always dreamed about but lacked the funds to ever make it a reality, this (home exchange) is the best option for you. .... With so many low cost airlines offering cheap flights the dream could become a reality. So start swapping and get holidaying!'
