New category in search: remote work swap

Hi there, it would be great if I could indicate in my profile that I am interested in swapping homes for remote work. I go to somebodys place and live and work there, while they stay at mine. It could work like the preferred destinations: You tick a box that indicates you are open for this type of exchange - and in the search result there appears an icon to show that someone is up for this type of exchange. Like a wifi symbol or something similar next to the symbol that specifies the minimum nights. That why, people who can and would like to work remotely from somewhere else can easily find each other.

In the groups (in your profile), there is one for remote workers (it’s the last one - the symbol is a person in a home). You could join the group and then search for an exchange within the group. It might be limited however as not everyone complete that part of their profile and join groups.

Thank you for suggesting this - i’m sure it could be really handy for many members. Can I ask though what would be the difference between a ‘standard’ swap and a ‘work’ swap? As listings do already include information about dedicated work space and high speed internet. Are you suggesting that it would just be easier if these features could be searched for in a filter?

Yes this is certainly a good idea :slight_smile:

Hi Melissa, yes, that is right, my suggestions is to create a filter for this. The swap itself would be no different from any other swap I guess. I’ll also give Marions suggestion a try!
