Facebook group worked magic: our summer simultanous exchange with Andalusia

Hey everyone! I wanted to share an amazing experience we had this summer that truly showcased the magic of the HomeExchange Facebook group.

At the end of 2023, I joined the group, mainly to explore how it all works and prepare for summer 2024. I didn’t expect much, but to my surprise, I received an offer for a simultaneous exchange in Andalusia for July 2024 almost immediately! As with HomeExchange, you have to seize opportunities as they come, we enthusiastically said “YES!!!”

And wow, what a fantastic trip it turned out to be! From the breathtaking Alhambra to sun-soaked beaches, the stunning sights of Gibraltar, and the delightful cuisine, we truly had an unforgettable time. The charming white villages nestled in the mountains added to the adventure, and I know that my children will long remember the time they spent in the residence’s swimming pool.

Our exchange partners, Carina and Vincent, enjoyed three busy weeks at our place, escaping the Spanish heat to explore France, Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium, and the Netherlands—all in one stay. The best part? We got to meet in person, and we’ve stayed in touch since returning home. Now, how cool is that? :sunglasses:

Looooove this! It’s always so nice to read stories of members who aren’t afraid to say yes to new opportunities :heart_eyes:

I had no idea there was a Facebook group!

@TravellingTs Not just one, but several :slightly_smiling_face: This one was in Spanish, but we’ve joined the French and English ones too. They’re all very active and the members are super helpful, if you have a question or doubt.

They are way older than this forum :wink: at least 10 years with thousands of members on it, and messages every day…I’m surprised you didn’t Hear, it’s often shared in emails newsletters, in the HE Facebook page etc

No, I didn’t hear. And I read the newsletters!

Have you joined now?
