You stay at my home for free while I stay at yours also for free. A weekend, a week, a month, even a sabbatical year. Simultaneously or not. Exchanges are reciprocal, one to one. No third parties. No points system. WHY HOME EXCHANGE? - Your home is not empty while you’re away. Much safer. - Sustainable tourism: help Mother Earth when traveling by using existing resources. - Be a guest, not a client. - Be at a private home, with all its comfort, not an empty renting space. - With kids: enjoy all the toys, cots, highchairs… of another family. - Save on accommodation. - Meet other creatives around the world, exchanging with Behomm.
