'Is a Home Exchange Right for You? A Home Exchange Can Significantly Cut Travel Costs'

Good articles on home exchange are like London buses - you wait around for ages and then two come along at once!

Following on from my post on Wednesday on the article 'Holiday Home Exchange. What exactly is it?' recently posted on the Vacation Ideas blog, I came across another excellent article on home exchange on Consumer Savvy Tips. As Consumer Savvy Tips focusses on providing 'cutting-edge consumer advice and tips to help you save money', it is no surprise that the author of the article concentrates on the huge potential to save money on vacations by swapping homes. A quote:

'A home exchange membership will usually cost less than one-hundred dollars a year. If you were to travel two weeks out of the year and pay regular hotel rates at a cost of $150 per night, you would end up spending more than two-thousand dollars in lodging expenses.

With a home exchange, you just pay the annual membership fee and exchange homes with another home exchange member. In the above scenario, this would save you more than two-thousand dollars each year.'

I just barely heard about home exchanges. I didn't know people did this, but it sounds like an awesome way to travel. Maybe I won't have to save money on grocery bills every time I want to travel now!
