Book Description: Home Exchange and Save Big On Your Next Vacation!
Dear Fellow Traveler
Are you a "Home Exchange Procrastinator?
Maybe you've gone so far as to join a club, but have done little beyond initially typing some text into your listing.
Suppose you could vacation in some far away country and pay absolutely nothing for your accommodation.
Imagine... sitting on your own verandah watching the sun set into the azure blue Aegean as you sip a glass of wine, or maybe relaxing with a beer in a Jacuzzi in the tropical garden of your Hawaiian villa.
Sounds too good to be true?
Well, it isn't if you happen to be a Home Exchanger!
There are a great many would be home exchangers who continually sit on the periphery, envying those who have already taken the plunge and joined a club, but stubbornly sticking to their "what if" excuses. What if I exchange with a gang of international criminals? What if I arrive at my exchange partner's expected home only to find a vacant lot? What if ...? What if ...?:
My family and I are the "survivors", if you like, of more than 40 wonderful home exchanges, taken over the past 25 years, and because I'm continually responding to the negativity of those nay-sayers and defending what to my family and me has become an innate part of our lives, I decided to write an e-book dedicated to taking these skeptics by the hand and walking them step by step through the entire Home Exchange process, following exactly the same methods I use myself.
"Home Exchange Academy"
Home Exchange Academy starts at the beginning, detailing and explaining the differences between the surfeit of clubs currently clamoring for your membership dollars / pounds / euros. Which of their features should be viewed positively, which should be seen instantly as red flags.
