The Home Exchanger

Research: the Key to a Great Exchange

    Lauren Kahn, long time Intervac member and home exchange enthusiast, was recently featured on CNN speaking about home exchange.  One of the many great tips she gave was how important research is in regards to home exchange.  In many cases, one must be flexible while picking a destination to exchange, maybe a suburb or surrounding city to a larger more known area.  Many might be tempted to neglect to do their research.  Lauren told a tale on CNN about a trip to Prague that instilled the importance of research. 
    In many cases, the home exchange partner will send links to tourist websites or to the chamber of commerce.  These are useful tools, but taking it a step further insures a fun, safe exchange.
    Looking up articles and reviews that are not associated with the material sent to you by the potential home exchanger will provide you with the right amount of information to make an educated decision as to whether the potential destination is right for you. 
    Being informed is the key to success!
