Travel… or “home sweet home”?
What is the best way to discover a country from the … inside?
Try home exchanges!
An interesting way to better understand how people live, eat, cook, their TV programs, books, music. And feel like a friend borrowing someone’s house, rather than a guest.
Its cheaper too! Several websites can help you find your match : have a look on one of the most important ones, Homelink International, over 50 years old! Or Intervac, too.
Geenee, a new player, doesn’t offer too many destinations but it’s really interesting with its 360° views and a forum… it also has a sort of community approach while other websites look more like catalogs. You can also visit Switchome or exchangeourhouses…
And don’t forget to take time to visit and discover local artisans, craftspeople and markets. Then, you’ll really feel “at home”!

Je me permet de porter à votre connaissance l’existance d’un site que nous venons de créer, à proprement justement de l’échange de maison: kivahu.fr. Nous avons l’ambition de répertorier tous les sites d’échange qui existent dans le monde, et de proposer des tests, des retours d’expérience, etc.
