We were a bit worried how people would treat our home and how we would find it. When we returned, everything was spic and span and our guests were doing the laundry. :smiley:

Like @Trenke, I had concerns about how people would treat our home, but all our furniture was second hand or from Ikea at the time, so it wasn’t that big of a fear.

I think my biggest fear was that I would accidentally break someone’s family heirloom… :scream:

Hello,

we usually also exchange cars, and my biggest worry was/ still is, what happens if there is an accident with the car.

I am not so concerned about the house as nearly everything is replaceable with a shopping tour to ikea.

Oops sorry I’m just seeing this! Our guarantees actually doesn’t cover cars so if it’s something you’d like to offer to your exchange partner, I would say to make sure that your car insurance covers it :blush:
