LONDON, April 6, 2010 /PRNewswire/ — Travellers looking for a cost-effective and fun way to experience the thrill and live action of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa now have the perfect opportunity with home exchange, where two families swap homes for holidays. It means you and your family and friends can avoid crowded hotels and inflated prices, get right into the soccer action, and also enjoy trips to other events, such as the New Zealand 2011 Rugby World Cup, or dream holiday destinations in over 130 countries.With no hotel bills, the benefit of free accommodation and the ability to exchange everything from cars and bicycles to boats and skis, home exchange has become the best way to experience the world like a local and to stay for free. It means that except for getting there, a holiday nearly anywhere in the world doesn’t have to cost any more than staying at home.
“It’s a great concept”, says Chris Skudder, HomeExchangeNow.co.uk Member. “I’ve taken the opportunity of combining working at the Soccer World Cup in South Africa this June and July with a ‘double’ exchange in the country as soon as the event is over. It will be an epic trip, six weeks working followed by another six weeks in South Africa when my family come out to join me, staying at three houses in KwaZulu-Natal and Kruger. The idea of such a trip would simply be out of reach for us without exchanging.”
Members simply log on, create their listing with photos and a description, choose a location they want to visit, and begin coordinating an exchange with other members across the globe for only GBP5.95 a month, with no additional fees.
“In 2012 the Olympics come to London,” says Chris. “As our home is close to the Olympic rowing and canoeing lake near Windsor what better place for someone to base themselves for this huge global sporting event.”
HomeExchangeNow.co.uk is the global leader in home exchanging with 33,000+ listings in over 130 countries. Membership includes exclusive free trip cancellation underwritten for HomeExchangeNow.co.uk(TM) by Lloyd’s of London. Unlimited exchanges can be taken with no additional per day or per exchange charges of any kind. See: http://www.homeexchangenow.co.uk
