The New York Times has done two articles on Intervac and home exchanging in the past month. The first featured Intervac custome Lori Horne (photo at left), a longtime exchanger. Click here to read about it.
The second quotes me, Jessica Jaffe - I'm the US Representative for Intervac - several times, and tells how home exchanging has become a sub-culture. Click here to read that story.
I just viewed the preview of this movie coming out this holiday season, called appropriately The Holiday. It stars Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet as an American and Brit who exchange homes with each other for Christmas. It also stars Jack Black and Jude Law.
From the trailer it looks like they meet each other through a fictional home exchanging agency similar our to own agency, Intervac.
Based on this movie, if you do a home swap in England, you could meet Jude Law. Still the movie looks really good, and surprisingly looks like it could be sort of accurate depiction of the joys of swapping homes. Minus Jude Law.
