Where will you explore with your kids?
"Our recent house swap from East Devon to Hertfordshire allowed us to visit London and spend quality time with family. The most significant advantage of a swap is having our own space at the end of the day. We'd definitely do this again and prefer it to Airbnb or a hotel. My toddler loved the night garden at the Alban arena and the fruit picking in Harpenden."
Louise Summers
"As a single parent and, therefore, budget traveller, house swapping enables my son and I to experience other countries and cultures that would otherwise be inaccessible to us.
Our trip to Amsterdam was fantastic; the family we swapped with had a large, spacious home right on the water and even a canoe available for us to use. It was easy to access the city with just one 20-minute tram ride, during which we visited various museums, cafes, and shops. We could also access areas outside the city such as beautiful Zaanse Schans with multiple operational windmills and the incredible Het Woeste Westen, a free-play haven for kids."
Jenny Ellen
"Thank you for the most wonderful home swap experience at Easter. We went to the Netherlands, and it was honestly so heartwarming to have that mutual exchange and trust with another family. Swapping gave us the opportunity to spend much longer exploring their wonderful country and experiencing it in a deeper way. We are so grateful!"
