Abandonei minhas hospedagem em hotéis e outros apps de hospedagem.

O HomeExchange é fantástico, existe de fato uma troca de gentileza e cuidado, foi assim em todas as minhas experiências que fará 3 anos de uso no app. Desde então, só usamos hospedagem em hotéis em último caso. Só tenho a agradecer a plataforma por toda essa experiência que nos proporciona.

Fun and affordable way to travel

Our family joined Home Exchange so that our family of 6 could travel to France and Spain next summer. By opening our home to others 3 times this year in exchange for guest points, and by doing one house swap, we have been able to earn enough points to stay in Europe for 20 days without paying anything! Our family is so excited to travel this coming summer! Thank you, HomeExchange!
