| What is House-Exchange? For
years you have dreamed of going to Italy but you can't afford to rent a house/apartment
or stay in an hotel. With PROF2000 justgo to the ITALY page where you'll find
all the Italian PROF2000 members who want to exchange houses/apartments. You contact
a PROF2000 and if your date and your country are of interest to him/her, your
are on your way there! More often than not, people also include their car. So,
no hotel, no restaurant, no car to rent and that can be for a month or twoor just
two weeks. You are beginning to understand what house exchange is all about!
How do people see my house/apartment?
Your house will be liste in your
home country's page. Just open the House Exchange form and fill in the details.
Provide all the information that you think isrelevant. Pictures are a bonus and
will make your page more attractive. Then you will receive offers from people
all over the world. With the email addresses, PROF2000 members can exchange emails
to get more information and get to know each other. Most potential exchangers
do not have a precise idea of where they want to go (open). Wait and see who is
interested in exchanging with you! Big cities like New-York, Los Angeles, Miami,
London, Paris, Monte-Carlo, Rome, Tokyo, Rio, Dublin are very popular as well
as the Riviera, France, Italy, England, US, Canada, Australia, Germany, Greece
and the Caribbean. Is it risky to
offer my house to someone I don't know? "Don't do to others what you
don't want anybody to do to you!"
For half a century, house exchanges
have been taking place successfully. Obviously from one country to an other, cultural
aspects influence the way people live. You 'll be surprised at others people home
but you will get use to their lifestyle and probably learn a lot from it. Also
remember that PROF2000 members are professionals, well educated, with high standards,
so they do not live in shacks. Keep in mind also that before the exchange takes
place, you will have exchanged emails, telephone calls and regular letters that
would help you to know each other. Remember, your home is much safer while you
are gone because it is not empty.
You always can contact WEB-MASTERPROF2000
by email or chat, available everywhere on the site. He has been excahnging houses
for years and is well experienced!
My
house is not well situated, do I have a chance of exchanging?
Most of
the exchangers are looking for a "base" to discover your region, your
country. Display your house/apartment, you'll be surprised!
If you have a
second house/apartment, publish that too and double your opportunities!
What about languages?
Most of the PROF2000 members speak more than
one language, with English being one of the most common. It shouldn't be a problem.
Also, when you arrive at destination, your exchanger could put you in touch with
one of his friends who speaks English to help with all your needs.
