15 % of all JewettStreet members with an own listing indicate their interest in a hospitality exchange in addition to the more popular home exchange option. Offers are evenly spread across Europe, North America and the rest of the world and across urban, suburban and rural regions.
If you are new to home exchange, but resist the idea because of the thought of having strangers in your house, you might be a candidate for a hospitality exchange.
Instead of exchanging homes, hospitality exchangers stay with you as your guests and then, at an arranged date, you stay at their home as their guests. It is a great first step to becoming familiar with home exchanging without leaving your possessions to strangers. As a second step after you have gotten to know your house guests better - you might like to exchange homes with them.
Why not start out with a hospitality swap in your own region for a weekend? A short stay works well, too, if your home has limited guest capacity.
Of course, there are the inveterate hospitality exchangers as well. They prefer to be hosts. It gives them the opportunity to socialize and meet interesting people from all walks of life and from all over the world. You can’t beat that!
