Have you tried home swapping? What made you decide to give it a go?

One thing I've learned while building my home exchange platform (Habiqo Home Swap) is that getting people interested in home exchange is one thing. Helping them feel confident enough to try it is another.

The idea itself is simple: people open up their homes to one another and, in return, get to experience somewhere new without paying for traditional accommodation. But when you're building a platform around people's homes, trust is at the heart of everything.

We've also developed a virtual credit system so members don't always have to exchange homes at the same time. That flexibility opens up more possibilities for how people travel.

I'm always interested in meeting people working across travel media, tourism, accommodation and travel tech, so I'd love to hear from others in the industry:

What do you think needs to happen for more people to feel comfortable trying home exchange for the first time?
