Long term exchanges

Bonjour AmbreM,

Do you already have a visa allowing to stay for 1 year?
The easiest is to travel with a 90 days touristic visa.
The others are harder to get.

As far as we are concerned, we looked for a 1 year exchange in Munster (Germany) for an academic year.
Obviously it did not work because there are about 10 listings there.

Hello everyone.

I am interested in a yearly 3 weeks exchange during Christmas holidays - to see/experience how people celebrate Christmas holidays in their towns. So kindly suggest a destination - my only requirement is that the place should not be too cold. (SF Bay Area, particularly the East Bay, has mild winters, and definitely no snow). So if you are interested in mild winters, please come visit the Bay Area and we can swap homes.

However for this yearā€™s Christmas holiday (2024), I can only do from about Dec. 21 to Jan. 6 because I have already taken so many off days this year. But with proper planning, I can do three weeks Christmas holiday exchange beginning 2025. Anyone interested in recurring Christmas holiday exchange, please keep me and my home in mind.

This is my home: Blissful Condo in Lake Merritt)

Thanks, everyone.

Hello Joshua,

I am interested in a ā€œlongishā€ 3-weeks exchange as opposed to 3 months of winter. Would a 2-3 weeks Christmas holiday in the Bay Area interest you and your family? Does it snow too much in your place? (I might be able to handle some snow, but not for a long time). If this exchange sounds appealing to you and your family, kindly check out my home, Blissful Condo in Lake Merritt

Best regards,

Jan

Hi Jan, your place looks lovely, but weā€™re mostly interested in European travel. Weā€™ve got friends in the Bay Area weā€™d stay with if we headed down there. More than happy to do a GP, as I do expect weā€™ll be travelling at that time, but in Spain most likely. As for snow, most winters we get zero snow. Once in a while though we get some and itā€™s so delightful, the whole city pretty much shuts down until it melts.

Thatā€™s incredible SophieetAntoine,

Was it a newbie?
Does he have nice reviews ?
Generally dirty people donā€™t become suddenly dirty unless if they leave suddenlyā€¦

What did he say when you asked why the place was not cleaned?

Iā€™d love a 4 week exchange! Perhaps we could have a separate forum section to facilitate matching?

Hello! I am looking to exchange for the month of November. I live on the New Hampshire seacoast and have the opportunity to travel solo for one month. I need a good internet connection to work while I am traveling, but I am open to destinations and exploration. Please let me know if staying at my location suits you!

Hello!!
Iā€™m working abroad and was able to bring my wife and baby.
Our apartment in Colombia will be empty from September 24th until December 15th, 2024ā€¦ If someone is willing to visit Colombia, learn or practice Spanish or Paragliding thatā€™s a perfect place.
Feel free to contact me, I will provide all the information you need.
We cannot have the Exchange now, but a long exchange of two-three months sounds like a nice experienceā€¦

Dear Andrew,
What is the name of the other long-term excange site?
Allt the best

Hello. I think the secret of long-term changes is secondary houses. I started my first exchange with 21 days. I guess Iā€™m lucky. If you are considering a long-term exchange in Turkey, I am open to this idea.

Hi Sofia
It is People Like Us.

Andrew

Thank you Andrew!
