I have been thinking about doing a homeswap but have not been able to convince my wife to do so, maybe if she reads this she will see its not as bad. I found your blog entry by searching for 'home swap experience' and was exactly what I was looking for. Its good to know other people do it on a regular basis and for the most part it is very successful. We are in Utah, if anyone is interested in a homeswap let me know, I guess I will signup for some of those sites though and taking pictures of our home, etc. Wow, awesome post!

If someone is interested in roughin' it, we do have a loft cabin on our property. We built it for our families use but have considered renting it out. the wildwerness is beautiful when we all have a chance to turn off our regular lives. We have found the best quality time was time spent only 100 yards from our home. A holiday to remember!!!!!!!! Please let me know if I could advertise for an exchange or to rent it out. I'm just not sure how many people out there want to do without a hot shower each morning. A good Idea or not? thanks I live outside of Salmon Arm(about 20 mins.)

We are on Bowen Island; I have thought about home exchange in the past, but wasn't sure about the best way to do it. We try to travel for a month every year, so maybe this is the accomodation solution for us. Thanks! This does look very interesting.
