Home exchange
Taking part in home exchange programs can be a great way to travel and spend less money all the while enjoying the comforts of a well equipped house or apartment. The concept is also called "house swapping" at times. It's an alternative to hotels, websites like AirBnB or hospitality exchange. It's often considered one of the first systems of collaborative consumption. It's great way to save on accommodation costs and it can also be a good way to have someone take care of your cats and plants while you're away.
