Anyone do a housing swap?
I'm interesting in traveling for extended periods of time to a number of different states. It seems like doing a housing swap would be the most economical option. Has anyone does this, what service did you use, and how did it work out?
Re: Anyone do a housing swap?
A long time ago when the services were just starting on the net we used Home Exchange a few times. I expect to do it again in the future but had an odd experience that led me to stop. We did a second exchange with a same person and they felt comfortable enough to borrow a rare book with asking first. It ended up fine and the book was returned but it was enough to make me stop house swapping at the time. Before I start swapping again I will create an "owner's closet" with a lock that I can use for anything that I choose not to have available for others.
