LONDON, October 29, 2010 /PRNewswire/ — A British family will beat the recession this Christmas by home exchanging with a family for the second time and holidaying like there’s no recession. With no hotel bills, the benefit of free accommodation and the ability to exchange everything from family skiing equipment to cars and bicycles, home exchange has quickly become the best way to experience the world like a local and to stay-for-free.
“Our family had a great Christmas in Carbondale near Aspen,” says HomeExchange member Peter. “The accommodation suited us perfectly, staying in the guest house of our exchange family – it even had a pool table. It was a fantastic introduction to skiing for our kids with the four Aspen ski areas being easily accessible.”
Peter’s family lives in Cambridge – a holiday destination – and they thought that other people might be interested in exchanging with them. As a young family they were also keen to have the space and facilities of a home rather than a hotel room(s) when they holidayed. “A couple from Aspen came to stay at our home during the summer and we spent Christmas skiing and enjoying Aspen,” says Peter. “Shortly after we listed our home we were contacted by them. We conversed via email and everything was arranged within a few weeks.”
Home exchanging this Christmas means that except for getting there, a holiday nearly anywhere in the world doesn’t have to cost any more than staying at home, providing the perfect opportunity to take a long haul holiday, or weekend trip closer to home this festive season and throughout the year. “We are exchanging with a family for the second time this Christmas,” says Peter “which is just great as everyone is familiar with each other’s houses and locations.”
Unlimited exchanges can be taken with no additional per day or per exchange charges of any kind for only GBP5.95 a month. HomeExchange even guarantees that if for any reason you don’t make an exchange in the first year, the second year is FREE. http://www.HomeExchange.com is the global leader in home exchange with 37,000+ listings in 137+ countries with a UK version of the website at http://www.HomeExchangeNow.co.uk
