[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We travel the world [b]doing home exchanges, house sits, farm stays[/b] and budget flights.

My 5yo has been to 7 countries, 2yo has been to 4 countries, but no luxury resorts here despite a $300k HHI.[/quote]

Tell me more about this. What sites do you use? I want to do this with our rowhouse in DC, but afraid no one will want to trade with a house cluttered with kid crap! (oldest is 3.5, youngest is an infant)

The vibe I get on home sharing sites is that everyone is an empty nester or a DINK.[/quote]

We use HomeExchange and PeopleLikeUs. You have to target other families and it's GREAT. Aside from my family, it's my favorite part of my life. We've had so many wonderful experiences. We aim to swap or sit for families with kids the same age as ours and it makes travel a breeze to arrive at a house with toys, bikes, stroller, high chair, crib, etc. My kids LOVE rolling up to a house of new toys and it even makes the down time of travel enjoyable when DH and I can have coffee or a glass of wine together because the kids are happy exploring the house/yard. We've swapped cars and car seats. We've swapped childcare! My 5yo literally asks all the time "Mom, when can we go live in another kid's house again?". We've made dear friends all over the world. Cannot recommend it enough, truly.[/quote]

DP here.  Are you okay with people being in your "stuff" - or how do you hide your personal stuff?[/quote]
