Exchange you home
Another alternative for those looking for accomodation for your vacations in Brazil (or anywhere else in the world) can be found in a quite new concept in vacations lodging, the exchange of homes. What does this mean? Home exchange is the vacation alternative where two families agree to swap homes for a vacation, something like “You stay in my house while I stay in yours”. For example, through the HomeExchange.com website you can browse around 24.000 listings worldwide for the perfect accomodation for you and your family.
Signing up to this service will cost you US$ 99,95 for two years and then you can start searching for a home for your vacations and contact the advertiser to exchange homes, which normally you’ll have to be done simultaneously. You can also list your home so interested people can find it. If you think about it, this sevice can give you great value for money: one night at a modest hotel in Brazil is easily US$ 75.00; imagine the savings on 2 weeks on a home exchange instead of a hotel.
Currently, there are 247 listings for Brazilian destinations in HomeExchange.com, website ranging from different destinations such as São Paulo, Natal or Fortaleza. Once you have seen an interesting listing, you can see what are the exchange conditions: how many persons can be lodged in the house, if you can bring childrens, what destination the owner wants to travel to, a owner-made description of the house and the exchange conditions (sometimes the owner will even let you use his car or bikes). Once you list your house, you can be contacted by unexpected offers, even making you think of a vacation to a place you never planned on going. And two other benefits can come from this service: experiencing an area like a local, not a tourist; and having the comfort of being in a home rather than a cramped hotel room.
