Hello everyone!
We’re Sarah & Lorenzo, a couple from Paris, and we’re currently looking for a home exchange in New York City from December 28th to January 5th.
Lorenzo’s cousin recently started her VIE at Dior in NYC, and her mother and brother will join her for Christmas. We’re hoping to join them just after for a late Christmas celebration, Sarah’s birthday on December 30th, and New Year’s (lots of special family moments all together!)
Finding a place in NYC during this period has turned out to be quite challenging: it’s a very popular week, many homes are already booked, and locals often travel less during the holidays. We’ve sent many messages and had a few positive replies, but hosts usually had multiple requests and chose someone else.
We’re tidy, respectful, easygoing travelers, and we love the HomeExchange spirit. We’d be happy to share more about us, our home in Paris, or our plans if that helps.
If anyone is open to hosting us or knows someone who might be, we would be incredibly grateful.
Thank you so much — and happy exchanges to all! 
That sounds like a lovely trip. New York is indeed a destination in very high demand, however don’t despair! Are you looking for a reciprocal exchange or a stay with GuestPoints? Either way I would recommend adding a link to your home here. Also have you posted on the Facebook group?
