These home exchanges are over and may never be repeated but the couple from rural New York and the mom from Toronto are lovely people we are happy to count as friends.
Due to professional connections, we get tickets to every star-studded VIP opening night at Broadway's Roundabout Theater. We also get passes to the exclusive cast party afterwards.
When we found out that our Toronto swap buddy was in town and our New York state home exchange friends were moving away, we were eager to sieze the moment and share this fun event with them.
In the past we have sometimes arranged free tickets to a Broadway show for exchangers who were using our home.
Each exchanger's perk is different but always appreciated. Our own swap partners have offered us their own perks, such as free day camp for our children, access to a country club, an evening aboard a friend's yacht and so on
Don't fret if your country club membership lapsed or your yacht was towed for illegal parking. Another exchanger won our hearts (if not our waistlines) by leaving a note informing us that she had baked the exquisite home-made cheesecake in the fridge just for us.
Everyone has some sort of connection or talent. Use yours to make your home exchange partners' stay at your place a vacation they will never forget.
