**Welcome to the Forum** Introduce yourself to the community here! Hello HomeExchanger! 👋 **It’s time for introductions.** A first step of introduction to the forum that we hope will not only be interesting, but also fun. 🤗 This is the place where we can get to know each other and perhaps discover some common ground (or even find our next exchange, who knows?). So let’s get started! Here are a few ideas of things to share in your introduction: - Your first name - Where you live - Destinations you’re thinking of for your next exchange - 1 or 2 surprising facts about you **To create your introduction post** - Click on the logo “HomeExchange Forum” in the top left corner - Click the “+ New topic” box - Select the “Welcome! - Introduce Yourself” Category from the drop-down menu - Add a topic title - tip: include your location to quickly connect with others in your area - Begin typing your intro and maybe add a photo or two - Don’t forget to click the yellow “Save” box (bottom left) on completion. For HomeExchange members, you can also add a link to your HomeExchange profile or listing. To your keyboards! ---

Hello from Norway! Member of Home Exchange for many years - new to the Forum! I’ve done many home exchanges, primarily reciprocal - which I ‘ve had best success with. On some occasions I’ve also been petsitting for fellow members, as I’ve had a few opportunities to work from home while travelling (so a non-exchange as such - invited to stay at their home to take care of furries while the main humans are travelling! 😄 ). Being a substitute pet-parent in Japan was a highlight! 💥🐶🐈 Looking forward to browse around and get to know you. ---
