Green Theme International is a terrific way to travel with children. Some members go out of their way to exchange with families with children because those homes often have toys, books and games to keep kids occupied. And if you're travelling with small children, consider the convenience of not having to pack cots, pushchairs, playpens and carseats.
You and your children will probably meet other families in the neighbourhood, offering the chance for new friendships, and experiences for everyone. You will find that your children soon make friends, but at the same time are learning about different lifestyles and traditions.
And everyone is happier having some meals at home, rather than expensive restaurant meals or fast food every day.
For most families, a week or two on holiday in a hotel can be quite taxing. The whole family is much happier if they're not restricted to a routine or cooped up in a hotel room every night. A Home Exchange offers comfort, space, quiet, and diversions you just can't get in a hotel.
EVEN PETS LIKE Green Theme International!
Green Theme International offers additional benefits for pet owners. Often, your exchange partner will willingly care for your pets, or have pets of their own your family may enjoy.
However, in some cases, you may have to make boarding arrangements, or have someone else come in to care for your pet, as you would do normally.
YOU CAN EVEN TRADE YOUR CAR!
Many home exchangers also exchange their cars, offering tremendous savings on rental and insurance expenses. If you choose to exchange cars, be sure to check with your insurance agent to determine your specific coverage. Please also note that many car insurance companies in the UK, even the short term insurance options, will not insure drivers with Canadian or U.S. drivers lincenses.
