Home swapping involves families agreeing to live in each other's homes for a holiday period with no money exchanged. This allows families to have free accommodations anywhere in the world and experience new neighborhoods and lifestyles. Home swapping eliminates hotel and car rental expenses, allows use of amenities like toys and books available in the exchanged home, and provides the comfort of living in a home rather than a hotel. It also promotes a sense of security knowing someone is caring for your home, and immerses participants in local cultures through authentic living experiences that support the local economy.
