We posted a while ago about how you might do a house exchange when going on holiday. That is, there are numerous
sites out there that act as brokers between travelers who want to exchange their homes for a short-term period of
travel. It’s a great idea, one that I plan to take advantage of one of these days. And I was happy to see that
New York City is one of the top
places people want to visit.
Well, along these lines, we got a nice tip sent into us yesterday mentioning a site that provides a similar service.
They offer people furnished apartments in cities around the globe owned
or rented by people who offer to put them up for travelers. A very nice idea. Consider that you might be taking several
weeks off for the summer…why not put your home on the list and see if you can’t make a little dough on the deal. Of
course, you’d have to worry about the type of clientele you might attract. It would be disappointing to find out, for
example, that your home was used as the setting for a German scheisse film. But then again, that might make a good
story at cocktail parties.
