I think I have something in Spain near Tarrogona on the beach for a couple of weeks in August. I will be searching for something to put with it for July to make a longer trip. I would prefer France or Spain because the logistics are easier. However, as usual, I will take what I get and hope for clean houses.

I leave for Thailand this week. It isn't an exchange but I do have people staying in my house for a good chunk of the time. I don't like to leave it empty and I knew someone who was between apartments so I asked if they would like to use the house. I am not, of course, charging them. First of all, you do not charge friends and, second of all, they are doing me a favor. Sort of like house sitters but people I know. Makes things nicer.

I have set up a discussion group on facebook for home exchangers. If any of you have questions and are on facebook, you might want to join.

Just another resource. If you go to the link, just ask to join the group. NO flames allowed--serious discussions only, please.
