The recent movie, The Holiday, documents a romance between two strangers forged via a home exchange.
But, you don't have to be famous to tell your home swap story. We would
encourage you to document your own travels while home swapping this
summer. Feel free to e-mail us your real-life tales and photos of your
summer swap.
We'll post them to The Home Exchanger blog and include them in the home exchange diary gallery found at the top right of the screen. Currently, we have home exchange diaries from Iceland, New Jersey and Ireland.
More tales are welcome.
You should update www.thehomeexchanger.com more often, but i love it!

This article explains how to create and save an xml file, and then how to bind it to a treeview, but I think it falls far short of what the title promises.

Your blog post seems like a storyline extracted from a novel.

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting.

my house is in Saipan- a small island in pacific ocean. Anybody might want to come and stay here? I want to spend this summer in mainland US.

I don't have an experience regarding Home Swap. What is this all about?

We are looking for a home-swap for the month of July in the Boston - Salem area in Massechussetts. We own a large home outside of Jerusalem in the community of Neve Shalom/Wahat al Salaam. We would love to swap also for the use of an automobile...I will be teaching in Salem College and travelling with my family. What about you?

We had a very poor experience.
The place was dirty.
The following is a copy of my
e-mail to my exchaner in WAIKIKI in regard to my experience...
I am greatly relieved to have found my house left the way I left it.
Frankly I had my doubts after seeing your place and its condition
and state of repair. Anyone who would run off and travel neglecting
responsibilities at home is not someone I care to be involved with.
Your house is DIRTY. The wall and ceiling by the air conditioner has
dirt enough to plant a garden, the so called windows and window
sills are dirty, the air conditioner is filthy and apparently has not
been cleaned since it was installed aside from the fact that it does
not cool the place,the floor was beyond description, the bathroom
smelled urine and the place was painted by an incompetent with a
broom who could not paint a reasonably straight line at the ceiling
or the baseboard.
No chairs, no table, no curtains on the (so called) windows, carpet
on top of carpet (dirt covering dirt),...let me tell you I lived in better
conditions in Vietnam, most importantly CLEAN
You should be ashamed of yourself although I doubt that you give a
damm. You must be some kind of hippie or gypsy.
I could go on and on, lets just leave it to say I have not ever seen
such a situation beyond what I would call Trailer Trash for lack of
a better phrase.
Be assured I will do my best to see to it that you do not lure others
into your trap.
P.S. exchanger be aware

I had a wonderful home exchange in July 2007 with a family from Vienna, Austria. I even got invited out to visit some relatives in the country, which was very nice. Driving in Vienna was a challenge! When I finally learned how, of course, the home exchange was over and I went home. Vienna was my 33rd home exchange since 1990!
I have had some wonderful trips over the years and some of my old exchangers have even returned for visits!

My wife and I have recently retired, and we have developed what our friends tell us is a very unique approach to retirement travel, using a property in the south of France and home exchange to expand our travel opportunities. Our experiences, joys, problems, and many hints (travel technology, finances abroad, healthcare insurance, etc.) can be found at our blog …
We welcome your comments and input.
