It's summertime and everyone is feeling poor. National Public Radio show just aired a budget travel special. The guests and callers had many suggestions for traveling on the cheap. Each was less appealing than the last. There was that annoying "staycation" nonsense, which consists of sitting around your house, wishing you were somewhere else.
One man said he would go backpacking to save money, but "one or two days of backpacking is enough for me." Sounds great. The npr show reported that sales of camping equipment are up. They noted that it isn't upgraded equipment for avid campers, but basic, starter equipment that's popular. Seems the unenthusiastic hiker is going to have equally uneager company at his rustic campsite.
I kept waiting for someone to mention home exchange. Everyone was making do with unappealing options but the simple solution to their budget travel dilemma eluded them all. Home exchange.
