I totally agree, we have been looking for a long exchange in Vancouver for some time now, but it’s not easy to reach people open to it.

Anybody in Vancouver interested in a reciprocal exchange in San Miguel de Allende, GTO, Mexico 🇲🇽 ?in October 2025?

I would be open to a long term exchange. I have the opportunity to do a sabbatical and my ideal swap would be in Spain, however I would be open to any Spanish speaking country. If you live in a university town, even better!!!

I live in a small mountain town in the northern Rockies. There are two ski resorts and a ton of all year round recreation!

I have a small comfy house with a hot tub and wood stove. I pay for snow removal in the driveway and can accommodate one car. I would be open to exchanging a car, since it is a longer exchange but I am unclear on liability and logistics of this process.

Obviously, this type of exchange takes more planning. If you are interested in the northern Rockies and outdoor recreation (amazing skiing)!!! Reach out and let’s see if we can make it happen!

Hi all  
I see this conversation is still going! I commented earlier when we had just done our first exchange (two weeks in New Zealand). Since then we have completed a two month exchange in Norway, a 6 week exchange in Scotland, and we have committed to a 5 month (!) exchange in England from the beginning of 2026. We did have an offer of an exchange in the last half of 2025 which we had to decline because of other committments.  
My point is that long reciprocal exchanges are possible. The key, I think, is flexibility. We are open to almost anywhere and any time.  
Andrew

Hi Melissa  
We’re going to be in a village called Marple Bridge - close to Stockton which is up Manchester way I believe. We are very keen road trippers so will be doing lots of exploring.

Hi ! Homeexchangers 🙂.

I am Maria wife to Antonio and mum to 4 kids (Sofia, victoria 3, Tomas 2 Agustin 6 months)

We are interested to do an exchange in an english speaking country or some countries as much time as posible , ideally minimum 3 months, as for us english is so important in the education of our kids​:heart:✨.

We are flexible on the dates as we both are digital nomads. We both work at my husbands tech startup. But I am currently on maternity leaving.

We were thinking to stick around UK or Ireland anywhere. We dont have any specific area as we prefer to stay felxible and we would come with our van, the portable cots we have if needed etc. We are open to other countries, if Australia we would love Sydney area (as i lived there) by sept 2026/february 2027

Barcelona is a very beautiful city you have many museums, restaurants and things to do. Also there are so beautiful areas to visit nearby.

Our city is 30 min bu car or 45 by train, we have a bus stop under our place (1 min walking across the street) that would take you to the train station. You can walk it s just 10-15 min (we have 2 nearby)

In case you skii Andorra is 3 hrs away and France is 1.30 min away, you can either choose Spain or France 🙂.

If you fancy a weekend away, you can get the fast train and in 3.5 hours you will be in Madrid . Or during spring/summer, Balearinc islands are just 45 min away by plane!

we have a 2nd car we could let you use if you need it 🤗. Also we would decrease our GPs so you dont have to give us, yours.

Also by the end of august we are refrubishing the both kids room to make them more available for older kids, teens and adults ☺.

looking forward to hearing from you,  
Maria

We are planning on moving to Spain in March of 2026 for a year and are looking for a real estate agent(s) in the Costa de Sol area, specifically in Valencia and around Motril and Marbella. Does anyone have any suggestions?

And, if anyone is interested in a HomeExchange in Richmond, Va., please let me know. For March 2026-March 2027 if all works out.

Thanks, Julie

If by chance you are still looking for a long-term exchange in the US in 2026, we are looking for a rental in Spain (Costa de Sol) during that time so our home in Richmond, Va., will be available for HomeExchange. March 2026-March 2027.

_Looking for a one-year school year exchange_

Starting in August 2026, we’d love to embark on another adventure and spend a year abroad with our three children. We’re open to a variety of locations, both within and outside Europe.

We are from the Netherlands. We live in a large, renovated 1930s house in Hem (between Hoorn and Enkhuizen) with a spacious garden. Would you like to spend a year in the Netherlands? Let me know if we could possibly make a good exchange.

Hi all!

I have a small two-bedroom house in North London with a garden - very easy to get into Central London on public transport. I’m learning Spanish and would really love to spend a couple of months in a Spanish speaking town/city (I don’t drive so would need good public transport!) from September/October to December (but can be flexible on dates).

Anyone in Spain looking for a slightly longer trip to London? If so, let’s chat about a possible exchange 🙂

Hi! I would recommend that you also post your offer in the Spanish forum, to make it easier to find interested people.

On the other hand, I see that your don’t have any available exchange dates in your calendar, so it will be difficult for anyone interested to contact you. I’d recommend opening up your calendar for the dates you’re interested in traveling.

I wish you the best of luck with your search
