Bonjour Steemizens.
As a follow up to my last post about travelling the world for free accommodation I would like to share with you a podcast interview where I delve deep into the concept and practicalities of home swapping, the sharing economy and extended family travel.
https://www.anepiceducation.com/home-exchange-with-kids/
Here is the blurb and show notes:
"Dan and his family of six have been traveling the world for years using home swaps to save thousands upon thousands of dollars. They’ve been all over the world, staying in private homes while letting other families stay in theirs. The Prince family homeschooled their four kids in the past, but now during their present home exchange in southern France, they’ve put their kids into local schools. The kids are loving it — making friends while becoming bilingual. I can relate to this, so we discuss this in the interview, as well.
Dan is a huge advocate of the sharing economy, and you’ll find even more related tips in this interview, for both homes and for cars! Listen in if you’re interested in getting free stuff, being invited into airplane cockpits, and learning how to arrange a home exchange with kids."
