| People Over 45 Avoid Hotel Expenses
by Trading Homes with Other Senior Travelers |
Paying for hotel accommodations is one of the biggest
expenses of any vacation, and one of the best and most
enjoyable ways to beat the high cost of lodging is with
a home exchange.
What is a Home Exchange?
Exchanging homes with other travelers who live in places
you’d like to visit is a great way to reduce the
cost of travel without compromising on comfort and convenience.
In a home exchange, you agree to trade homes with someone
who is interested in visiting the place where you live,
either at the same time you’re staying in their
home or at some future date. The latter arrangements
are often called “hospitality exchanges,”
because you may stay with someone in their home during
one trip, and then host them in your home at another
time.
Any exchange that suits both parties is fair game. The
trades don’t have to come out even in terms of
length of visit, size or type of home, or other specific
amenities. All that’s important is that both parties
are satisfied with the trade.
No money changes hands, it’s purely a barter system,
so you can save a bundle on the cost of hotel rooms
and sometimes even rental cars if you and your exchange
partner also agree to trade cars.
Why Are Home Exchanges a Good
Option for Senior Travel?
People over 45 travel more frequently than any other
single age group, and they often have the freedom to
take longer trips, which is ideal for home exchanges.
Having a longer stay in the home of local people allows
you to really experience the lifestyle and culture of
a country. Home exchangers often find that the friends
and neighbors of their exchange partners are happy to
recommend the best local restaurants and shops.
The Seniors Home Exchange offers senior travelers many
advantages beginning with cost. While many home exchange
programs charge members up to $150 for a single year
the cost to register with us is only NPR 4600 ($65)
for a three-year membership
What Do Other Seniors Say About Home Exchanges?
In a poll of Seniors 29% estimated they saved between
NPR 35000 and NPR 70000 by exchanging homes instead
of staying in hotels, while 71% saved even more.
Are There Any Drawbacks to Home
Exchanges?
The two things people contemplating a home exchange
worry about most are protecting their privacy and making
sure that the people staying in their home will take
good care of their property. They feel more comfortable
exchanging homes with people in their own age group,
because mature people tend to be more considerate and
conscientious about the belongings of others. Concerning
privacy we only provide our directory to members as
a reference to help them find other people like themselves
who are interested in exchanging homes. All arrangements
are made privately by the two parties. You choose the
people with whom you want to exchange homes, and you
are free to arrange as many or as few exchanges as you
like.
Anyone who registers for Exchange must supply an email
address, because the service guarantees that all of
its members can contact each other over email.
