Swapping Houses for Vacation

When budgeting for a vacation, usually the most expensive part of the trip is the accommodations.The traditional way to take a vacation is to pack some bags,  lock up the house, and travel to a new place to stay in a hotel.However, hotels are very expensive,  and with rent or housing loan(贷款)due every month,  it's difficult for most people to pay for yet another place to stay.   71   Luckily,  there is a substitute called house swapping,  and it's saving tourists a great deal of cash.

72  For example,  if a couple from New York want to spend a week in Paris, they would place an ad offering to trade their New York apartment for one in Paris for a week.If a Parisian couple that want to vacation in New York read the advertisement, houses can be swapped, and both couples save hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars by avoiding big-city hotel fees.If all goes well, both couples can post positive reviews of the other's home online so that potential travelers can see that everything was fine.  73  This builds a community of people who want to help each other out.

There are other advantages co house swapping as well.  74  Staying at someone's home puts you in a neighborhood that can give you a better representation of the life and culture in the place you're visiting.  75  The next time you want to spend your vacation in a new place, but don't want to pay a fortune, check what's posted online and find a house to swap.

A.House swapping is most common in New York and Paris.

B.Hotels are often quite difficult to book when you want to explore a new home.

C.A lot of times, this extra cost prevents travelers from going very far from home.

D.To swap houses, people check the Internet for others planning to travel and trade homes.
