Home exchange vacations are definitely not just for families with children. Over the more than twenty four years that ExchangeHomes has been in existence, we’ve received countless reports from members who have enjoyed home exchanging long after their families have grown up and left.

As one member put it: “Fred (my husband) and I have been avid home exchangers for more than twenty years; our first exchange was when our children were 4 and 8, and as they grew older we traveled further and further afield. In fact, I can honestly boast that home exchanging allowed us to show our two sons the world.

But, our boys now have lives and families of their own (and home exchanging too), Fred and I are visiting places that we are enjoying, but wouldn’t have been a lot of fun for two kids looking for excitement.”

Several years ago I wrote a post about Marylee, an Atlanta lady aged 57 who wanted to escape the city during the Summer Olympics in 1996. She had never home exchanged in her life and was very nervous at the prospect. She merited the extensive write up I gave her because she had contacted me in 2007 to tell me that she had just completed her twenty fifth home exchange at around 68 years old.

Similarly, in November 2008 I wrote about Laura, a lady who had first joined ExchangeHomes in 1988 when she was 52 years old. During the following twenty years she had her husband had taken part in dozens of home exchanges, but in 2008 she had been forced to stop traveling following difficult knee surgery.

And how about a wolrd tour while home exchanging? Take a look at Joe and Mary’s story Here.

Those are just three examples of mature ExchangeHomes members who have benefited enormously from home exchanging. You can find many more such stories by clicking the link to this blog’s Archives at the top of the page.
