We have done a number of house exchanges using homeexchange.com. It is a really good way of seeing another country more cheaply. I would advise a simultaneous swap, as otherwise it gets too complicated and you have the security of knowing you can rely on mutual respect. I wouldn't advise swapping a car. make sure your house is really clean and tidy - we take the opportunity to do a really good spring clean. you don't really want to feel that you have not given a good swap if you have left your house messy or dirty.


I recommend it, good luck.

Have you considered a camper van or even just renting a car (lots of the sites have little rooms like a motel) so that you can see more than one place, there is so much to see and do, we had 6 weeks in a camper and still didn't do everything, my children were 6mo and 3.5y at the time, they loved it and having the camper meant we could stop and make food etc whenever we needed.

    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
