Housesitting and Houseswapping - is it for you?

Dampier, Western Australia, 7/1/2006

Did you hear the one about the family that took a holiday in a Villa in Tuscany,
then a Gold Coast apartment followed by a cabin in the Rocky\'s and paid nothing for
accommodation? Well its no laughing matter, its absolutely true. To top it all off
they had a free car too!!

What\'s that you say, impossible?
Not if your prepared to swap your house with someone else\'s. Houseswapping has been
working successfully for years. The cost saving are seeing this practice boom,
organisations like Homelink International act as a database for potential swappers.

With over 60 countries and thousands of destinations from Brazil to Belgium and
Tahiti to Tasmania. Home exchange gives you the opportunity to meet like-minded
people from very different backgrounds, live as a local and enjoy low cost holidays
with all the comforts and warmth of home. The Australia branch was established in
1980 on their comprehensive website you can browse listings, learn more about the
home exchange concept, read FAQ\'s and members stories.

Of course, if you have children you may find it a little more difficult but there
are still plenty of places on offer. Many families are discovering house swapping
and housesitting. The benefits of being in a home rather than a hotel are huge, the
kids have space, you can prepare meals saving a fortune, you get to meet locals and
its a great base to explore a new country or destination. In many cases people
swap cars too, which makes it a really cheap holiday.

What\'s that you say?
You don\'t have a house, doesn\'t matter, consider housesitting instead. With the
worry of leaving pets and their biggest asset vacant many people are opting to have
a housesitter when they take their yearly holiday. Register with a housesitting
agency and you may be looking after someones house, cat and dog in the next suburb
or across the globe. Wherever you go its an economical and interesting way to live
or travel. Or if you are heading off on the annual holidays perhaps you need a
sitter to walk your dog and water your plants.
