Summer is now near and entire families and groups of children are filing the final details for their holidays. Then there are the others, that is, those who, until the end, do not yet know their destiny. Hotels, campsites, holiday homes: all possible options, to which, however, one must be added. We are talking about the home exchange, the new frontier of summer tourism and beyond. But how does it work?
What is home exchange?
Born several years ago abroad, the home exchange program is just what it sounds like: a temporary exchange of one's residence. In practice, the house is exchanged for a period that can be a simple weekend or several weeks. The whole free, or rather by making your home available to the other traveler.
This type of holiday has already been used in many countries for some time, and the results are excellent.
In fact, more and more people are using this system which allows considerable savings as well as the possibility of expanding their knowledge. But rest assured, you don't need to have a dream home to participate in the program. We can make ours available vecchia house by the sea, studio apartment in the center or l 'apartment on the outskirts. Everything is welcome, as long as you can prove that you are serious and reliable people. And these days it is certainly among the most important things.
Safe and reliable
To join the home exchange it is enough enroll on the many portals that promote the initiative such as homelinks o exchange home. Once we have entered our data, we will be asked to describe our home that we intend to make available with relative photos. Then off, we can wait for someone to contact us or we can look for possible partners. And Italy appears to be the most popular destination lately, so there will be plenty of opportunities. But is it safe as a system? Absolutely yes, at least according to who participated and who manages everything. Each user is required to comply with various parameters such as an accurate description of one's home or having a certain behavior when visiting.
At the end of the holiday we will in fact be offered an evaluation form in which we can possibly make complaints about who has occupied our home. If the traveler returns a completely dirty house to us, he will be sanctioned and expelled from the program. If an apartment is presented with two bathrooms and we only find one, the owner will be kicked out of the program. And so on. There are many steps to consider that guarantee the reliability of the system. And so far there don't seem to have been any nasty surprises, quite the contrary. Those who take advantage of the home exchange always say they are satisfied and ready to do it again. And thanks to social more and more people are learning about this new frontier of holidays. Because after all, what matters is to disconnect from the daily routine, whether it is in a hotel, a tent or at the home of some foreigner.
