My Home Exchange Near Lake Como
In August 2016 I did an almost month long home exchange south of Lecco near Lake Como. The trip report for the experience can be found here:
http://altecockertravels.weebly.com/...t-30-2016.html I also went to the Verona Opera Festival while at the exchange, that trip report is separate and can be found here: http://altecockertravels.weebly.com/...8-10-2016.html |
Well, August isn't over yet so I presume you are still there? Aren't you going to finish it, maybe you should have waited.
I would not have registered that website name myself for travel blogs, but to each his own. Have not heard that usually used for women, either. |
Christina, she uses the Lake Como house as a base. Her blog says she is in Corsica now, returning to Lake Como area again.

This sounds lovely! Thanks for getting this started. I must say the thought of parking in one spot in Italy and doing day trips is appealing. :-)

Lauren,
Eagerly waiting for the next part of the trip.....great so far with lovely photos. |
Isn't it a term for old person, an old grumpy person?
|
If you go to her blog, you'll see many excellent trip reports of her home exchanges
worldwide. She is quite the traveler from her Washingon, D.C. home. |
I just returned from Corsica. I have that blog to finish and then back to the Lake Como blog just to be clear.
After the home exchange, I will be going for 3 days staying in a hotel and then to Florence for a week before going home. I have friends who will be in Florence renting an apartment and I will be visiting them before going home. There will be separate blogs for both those legs of the trip. I generally do the blog every day but sometimes--especially when I am changing places--I miss a day or two. |
Nice to see your name lauren. I like reading about your home exchanges.
|
crefloors, nice to see you here also. I like reading the home exchanges also.
|
Very interesting!
|
As a long-time and frequent Verona attendee I found the report interesting on a variety of levels.
|
wonderful, thanks
I've read your blog in the past and it's good to see you again. |
That was delightful. Looking forward to more. Thanks for posting the link.

I don't spend a lot of time on fodors. I mostly just post when I have something that could help others planning trips. I set up my blog first to answer questions about home exchanges. Then I started to blog my trips so I could remember them. Then others began reading. I do have a following on twitter--mostly other travel bloggers. Most of the travel bloggers are kids doing round the world trips. I'm in another category--ha!

It's Venice I am going to for 3 days starting tomorrow. I'm not doing much of anything besides laundry today in the home exchange house. I'll be leaving for the Lecco train station at 7:30am to catch a train into Milan and then onto Venice. I will be in a hotel there and there will be a separate blog. I'll post the link later--exactly when will depend on the wifi connection at the hotel. There may be no more photos until after I get home if wifi connections in the hotel in Venice and then my friends' rented apartment in Florence are not good. Loading photos has been a continual challenge on this trip.
I will be home on September 11th sleeping in my own bed for awhile--and, of course, glad to be there. Happy travels to all all of you. Crefloors, I will make a point of catching up on your recent home exchange trip reports when I return home. No more exchanges planned until the end of March when I start a 2 weeker in California near Yosemite. Next summer, probably nothing as the next big project is selling my house and moving into a 2 bedroom condo I already own. Sad to sell the house, but it is really time. Just a huge project. I have started giving things away, but more work to do when I get home. May all your travels be wonderful--wherever you go and however you travel. |
Corsica????? Hope you will write about your time there...

The link to my blog on Corsica is already up on fodors. Here it is again:

Last I posted on a thread from Alte Cocker, she told me to stay away if I had nothing positive to say.
So I'll stay away. Never been into home exchanges anyway. just don't like nor trust the system. |
Thanks Lauren........now I want to go to Corsica!!
