Home Swapping

Home Swapping is the story of a Canadian couple’s 14 years of adventure, travelling by staying in other people’s homes all over the world. Helen Kaulbach describes vacations many think they can only dream of, and how she and her husband Doug planned and enjoyed these many trips of a lifetime, on a tight budget. Each chapter is a journey through one exchange trip: the extravagant homes and penthouse condos, the new foods, driving on the left side of the road, and even nearly seeing a shark attack from 25 floors above.

Home Swapping is also a guide to how to get started. You’ll see that, by choosing to live in a home rather than an impersonal hotel or resort, you are more likely to make friends and experience the local culture. And, this type of travel is accessible to homeowners of any age. These stories are the perfect antidote to years of quarantines and travel bans – you’ll get excited about travelling again!
