Came across this article a few days ago, and have been brainstorming ever since how we might be able to make a trip to Europe happen!

You can actually do house swaps with people in other countries... which would eliminate the cost of lodging! A bunch of people in our neighborhood do this regularly.

Kind of scary to have strangers in your home though! Will have to do a ton of research on this one... would feel better if it's someone that a friend has swapped with before.

Anyone tempted to take advantage of the strong dollar to travel?
