Two types of home swap
The Traditional Swap
In a traditional swap, two families exchange their homes directly. You go to theirs, and they come to yours. They can occur simultaneously or non-simultaneously, at different times of the year. Prior to the swap being agreed upon by both members, the details of these trips will be discussed. Besides your annual membership fee, swaps are free, and you can arrange as many trips as you like.
You have a gorgeous home! Might Budapest in autumn be of interest to you?
Budapest is definitely on my bucket list. If you're interested in a traditional swap, I'd love to talk to you about it.

Our SandDollar Swap
When reciprocal swaps are not possible, we have created the SandDollar system to help you. The arrangement will allow you to stay at another member's home without them staying at yours. The number of SandDollar you transfer will depend on the number of nights you spend at their home. They can then be used by your host to travel somewhere else of their choice.
I'm looking for a swap to Miami in December. Will you take SandDollars?
Of course! When would you like to visit?
The benefits of home swap vacations
Are you tired of the same old vacation spots? Year after year, do you find yourself going to the same beach, the same mountain, the same city? If so, it may be time for a change. One way to add some excitement to your travel is to live like a local. Home exchange is a great way to do this. With home exchange, you can stay in a destination for free by swapping homes with someone who lives there. This is a great way to save money on accommodation costs. It also allows you to live like a local and experience a destination in a truly authentic way.
With Habiqo, you can find your perfect home exchange match. We offer a variety of home swapping options to suit your needs. Whether you're looking for a simultaneous swap, a non-simultaneous swap, or a hospitality exchange, we can help you find the perfect match.
Save on accommodation
Accommodations account for more than 30 percent of holiday spending. Wouldn't it be great if you used this money to discover the area and all it has to offer?
Experience new cultures
One of the benefits of travel is the opportunity to have new experiences. When you immerse yourself in a new culture, you can learn new skills while also discovering more about yourself.
