How Home Exchanges Work

Lauren Kahn has done 72 home exchanges!One way to immerse yourself in a foreign environment is to do a home exchange. Lauren's blog offers plenty of advice on how to do a home exchange.This podcast comes in two parts.Due to a technical snafu, Lauren thought she lost our first interview. So I interviewed her twice, thinking that we lost the original recording.We managed to recover it. I took some of the highlights of the original interview and appended it at the end of this podcast. Therefore, if you're seriously interested in home exchanges, make sure you listen to the bonus interview in the second half.Homelink and Intervac are her two favorite sites, even though HomeExchange.com is the most popular. 3 Sponsors1.
