Smart travellers know that affordable travel anywhere in the world is still possible with home exchange - where two families agree to swap homes for holidays. As more people discover the benefits of home exchange it’s now possible to holiday like there’s no recession for as little as GBP69.99 a year. The “you stay at my home while I stay at yours” concept means that except for getting there, a winter holiday nearly anywhere in the world doesn’t have to cost any more than staying at home.

“A winter home exchange getaway is a great recession-proof way to escape the British winter and exchange everything from homes to cars and boats,” says Ed Kushins, President of HomeExchangeNow.co.uk “We have compiled our top ten winter destinations to give people a taste of the fantastic 28,000 properties we offer.”
