Home Exchange for Xmas and Holiday Like There's no Recession

LONDON, October 29, 2010 - A British family will beat the recession this Christmas by home
exchanging with a family for the second time and holidaying like there's no
recession. With no hotel bills, the benefit of free accommodation and the
ability to exchange everything from family skiing equipment to cars and
bicycles, home exchange has quickly become the best way to experience the
world like a local and to stay-for-free.

"Our family had a great Christmas in Carbondale near Aspen," says
HomeExchange member Peter. "The accommodation suited us perfectly, staying in
the guest house of our exchange family - it even had a pool table. It was a
fantastic introduction to skiing for our kids with the four Aspen ski areas
being easily accessible."

Peter's family lives in Cambridge - a holiday destination - and they
thought that other people might be interested in exchanging with them. As a
young family they were also keen to have the space and facilities of a home
rather than a hotel room(s) when they holidayed. "A couple from Aspen came to
stay at our home during the summer and we spent Christmas skiing and enjoying
Aspen," says Peter. "Shortly after we listed our home we were contacted by
them. We conversed via email and everything was arranged within a few weeks."

Home exchanging this Christmas means that except for getting there, a
holiday nearly anywhere in the world doesn't have to cost any more than
staying at home, providing the perfect opportunity to take a long haul
holiday, or weekend trip closer to home this festive season and throughout
the year. "We are exchanging with a family for the second time this
Christmas," says Peter "which is just great as everyone is familiar with each
other's houses and locations."

Unlimited exchanges can be taken with no additional per day or per
exchange charges of any kind for only GBP5.95 a month. HomeExchange even
guarantees that if for any reason you don't make an exchange in the first
year, the second year is FREE. www.HomeExchange.com is the global
