I'm in Hawaii too.</p> <p>No I don't think I would. It would have to be friends of family or friends </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-swapped-homes-for-vacation#post-2024733 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 01:23:14 +0000 Sapphiresun 2024733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This sounds cool and I'm jealous of people that can do it, but I doubt there's too much interest in trading for a place in the suburbs. Maybe one day I'll live somewhere cool enough to pull this off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-swapped-homes-for-vacation#post-2024262 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 20:09:35 +0000 808love 2024262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always wanted to...I'd have to convince DH though. I live in Hawaii. Our house is old but decent and we are bit out of the main drag. I think I would just go through friends of friends because it is kind of risky. I like to hear stories like the pp though! That's a happy ending. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-swapped-homes-for-vacation#post-2013107 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 06:07:10 +0000 lamariniere 2013107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did it once when I was single and swapped NYC for Paris for 2 weeks. I think I went through Craigslist. I ended up arriving in Paris the day before the guy left and we met up to exchange keys. It worked out perfectly, although, I don't think he appreciated how loud my neighborhood was compared to his very quiet one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-ever-swapped-homes-for-vacation#post-2012911 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 21:42:55 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2012911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're not that picky about destination, so this seems like a great way to save money. I know a lot of people here do New York-Paris swaps through local parenting listservs. Have you ever done one? How did you find a family to swap with? </p>
