Most home exchangers go out of their way to make things comfortable for their guests. Some provide personal recommendations of special attractions to see and things to do, or arrange for neighbours to call in and introduce themselves to help you feel at home. What a great way for your holiday to start - meeting new people and experiencing an area in a way that just isn't possible when you stay in a hotel. Here's your chance to live like a local. Give yourself the richest travel experience of a lifetime - become a true resident even if only for a short while, but don't be surprised if at the end of your holiday you're reluctant to leave.

Make new friends around the world. Many home exchangers have become lifelong friends with their exchange partners and their new neighbours in this exciting way to travel! Another benefit of house exchange is that it allows you to stay longer at no additional cost - a real bonus for those of us with time for travel at our disposal, but a limited budget on which to do it.

If you see travel as discovery, as education, if you want comfort as well as exploration, and very importantly if you need to travel without it costing the earth, then you'll like Green Theme International.
