More Reasons Why Your Next Family Vacation Should Be a Home Exchange

4.  Avoid the four-suitcases-full-of-dirty-laundry problem upon your return home from vacation.

If you’ve recently returned from a hotel-stay vacation, you probably still have the massive line-up of laundry loads fresh in your mind.  Or, maybe there are multiple loads still sitting in front of your washing machine….  At the end of  a week-long vacation, most families are stuck with several suitcases full of dirty laundry.  As if we’re not busy enough when we return from vacation — responding to all of the emails, voicemails, and Facebook messages received while away, reading through mail and paying bills, unpacking the baby and child gear, toys, and toiletries, and trying to revive our water-starved plants — the laundry simply won’t do itself.  When you vacation with home exchange, you can arrive home with suitcases full of clean laundry.  When I’m home swapping, I do a load of laundry every night or every other night (depending to a great degree on how many times the boys put their knees down in mud and whether the kids decided to use napkins or their shirts that day).  Yet another benefit of home exchange — clean laundry and more time to catch up with your life when you return from vacation.

3.  Your teenager — and you — can have some privacy.

Staying in confined spaces with teenagers can often be difficult — for teenagers and their parents alike.  Teenagers value their privacy, and parents know the value of a little personal space as well.  When you swap homes for vacation, teenagers can have their own bedrooms, and usually their own bathrooms as well.  This makes the time you do spend together on your vacation much more harmonious for everyone.

How Can Home Exchange Help You Realize Your Vacation Dreams?

With home exchange (also called home swap, home trades, holiday house exchange, and many other names), take your vacation anywhere your dreams take you.

At its core, the idea of a home swap is really quite simple — swap a stay in your vacation home for a stay in someone else’s home.

The uniqueness of The Vacation Exchange Network is that you can vacation when you want and where you want without having to find a home exchange partner who wants to use your home.

Home swapping and traveling on a budget go hand in hand.

With housing exchange, your home enables you to take unforgettable vacations on a budget.  You can save thousands of dollars on your holiday by leveraging one of your biggest assets, your vacation home.
