There were some growing pains to the experience, but McClatchie says they enjoyed their stay overall, and are eager to do another home exchange soon.This summer, my family and I went on a house swap organized through an international home exchange portal,. It was the first house swap we'd ever done.
In the end, we decided on the first inquiry we had received, from a retired teacher in the French Alps. It was the pictures of the trampoline, swing set and outdoor playhouse that sold us. "The girls will love the space," my husband said. Plus, Grenoble was just five hours away and the 250-mile drive would cost only about €80 each way in fuel and tolls. The listing also welcomed animals, so we could bring our cat.
Around the house notices such as these, about what use each pile of towels were for, were stuck to the walls.But she didn't tell us everything, especially that her road is being dug up this summer. Most mornings we were woken by the sound of diggers driving past the bedroom windows. During the day, we often found machinery parked in the driveway. The road was covered in loose stones that bounce off the undercarriage of our car every time we left the house.I found it hard to relax.
Suddenly, our departure loomed, and I found myself already browsing exchange listings for next summer
