My perfect holiday.
My perfect holiday used to be two weeks in a hotel with no cooking, no cleaning and
staff waiting on me all day. After we had children we found it easier to choose places where
kitchen facilities were included and we did the cooking. It was a generally more convenient
option although we tended to stay in Britain because of the cost. Then a friend of mine
introduced us to the idea of house- exchange holidays.
At first, the thought of staying in somebody else’s home, with all the worries of keeping it
clean and tidy and being constantly careful not to break anything, was unthinkable. Equally, I
didn’t like the idea of complete strangers wandering about in my home, using my bathroom
and sleeping in my bed. However, my friend described how she and her husband and their two
children had spent two weeks in Florida for the price of the flight. She told me how they had
stayed in a lovely apartment in the heart of the real Florida, well away from the tourist traps.
They had had no problems with the family of four that had stayed in their house in London.
Because they were so positive we decided to try it ourselves. We joined a house- exchange
agency, chose the countries we were interested in visiting and were soon sent information on
possible swaps. Finally we chose a family in Vancouver, went away and had the best holiday
we’d ever had. That was five years ago. Since then we’ve been to Prague, Finland, Edinburgh,
Washington and Sydney.
