Do you dream of a holiday in New York or London, or a Caribbean beach or a lodge immersed in the Canadian nature? A dream that can easily turn into reality at cost (almost) zero thanks to the numerous home exchange services already used by thousands of travellers 2.0.
Yes, because the concept of virtual community and interactivity lies at the base of the exchange: to be part of it, just sign up, publish the social card with the photos of your home, look at the places you would like to go, contact the hosts through internal messaging and agree to the exchange. Only a few minutes and the game is done.
ExchangeoCasa.com, for example, offers over 50,000 houses, of which 2,189 in Italy, so the initiative begins to spread even more in our country. More than for foreigners, Italy is one of the most popular destinations and more and more Italians who make their home available and open the door to new cultures.
Based on the purpose of House Exchange. Community there is not only the opportunity to travel completely free of charge but, as evidenced by those who have been resorting to the house exchange for their holidays, the portal offers the possibility to fully live the destination of the stay and to enter more contact with a new culture, feeling therefore less distant from the host society: no impersonal rooms like those of hotels and bed and breakfast, but normal houses lived daily by children and parents, neighbors with whom to chat and pets to take care of.
Those who choose the house exchange are not only attracted by this opportunity as it allows them to save, but it is usually a curious traveler, who wants to confront other cultures, immerse themselves in new traditions and experience different lifestyles.
Any trip in itself contributes to enriching its cultural heritage, but the possibility to exchange the house contributes more actively to this enrichment, giving the tourist the opportunity to feel at home even miles away. Moreover, the experience of the exchange of the house does not end once you return to your home, but rather among the travelers often arises a confidential and friendly relationship that lasts over the years.
