My place was Home Exchange Central today. First, swappers who are using our second home stopped by. I had arranged Broadway theater tickets for them and needed to give them the voucher. They say they are having a wonderful vacation at our place, and they brought enough warm clothing from their temperate West Coast home to deal with the foot or more of snow currently falling on New York City.
Later in the afternoon, a home exchange friend stopped by for a hair cut. Not from me, but courtesy of a former employee of a trendy salon who now makes house calls. I was amazed that he showed up in the blizzard. While he cut my kids' hair, his wife and I chatted. She was eager to swap homes, had been for some time, but didn't know where to start.
Bravely putting modesty aside I suggested she check out the archives of this blog. She is a doctor of acupuncture. I was not surprised that someone who was open-minded about something Americans view as "alternative medicine" was also so interested in home exchange.
There are a lot of people out there just like the acupuncturist. The concept of home exchange instantly made sense to them, but they aren't sure how to get started. I am going to scour my blog archives for some recommended newbie reading.
