Hi to all those potential or long experienced holiday home exchangers. I'm in my early 50's, have been successful in business and look forward to retirement in the not too distant future.  I have been exchanging my holidays with some very nice people over the last 3 years and would hope in my retirement that I can spend more than 3 or 4 weeks a year I currently enjoy. HoliSwap was started as I felt there needed to be a more social and friendly place for people to arrange their exchanges. There are a number of very professional and good sites out there who have been offering their services for many years. They are mostly very good and I don't wish to take anything away from them. Home exchange is growing at a great rate so I hope to bring something extra , if I can. I also like writing web based pages which should allow me to combine the two great interest, home exchange and computers. After you have listed with us I encourage you to e-mail me at any time with any of your questions or concerns. I'm here to help you achieve a satisfying exchange if I can. Please let your friends know the address of HoliSwap This site is not motivated by profit. Basically you don't have to pay anything unless you feel we helped you obtain a great holiday. Then the small amount we ask from the 2 families is nothing compared to the savings you will make. Simple after you return from your exchange just mail us a check or even a US$20 banknote.
