Swap of the month

This month’s winner is Sam Canavan from Thailand who arranged a fantastic 'Multiple Destination Swap'.

Congratulations Sam you have won an additional years free membership to Swapandstay. We feel sure that you will make the most of it!

Sam told us-
I recently joined Swapandstay as I have lived in Thailand for over 10 years and run a rental villa on a small island which is named after a sea creature which represents "a bridge between the world of men and that of the gods". (for background see the following sites www.onlyyouknowwhere.co.uk and www.only.youknowwhere.com which has more textual information.
Everyone wants to escape to paradise island but when you can do that every day in life you become culture starved, so i used Swapandstay to organise a two month trip to Europe. Myself, partner and child will be visiting Europe for two months and we have organised a series of swaps. After visiting family in London and Scotland we will visit Belgium (Antwerp and Brussels), then to an excellent apartment in the centre of Paris; from there to Southern Spain, and then to Italy (Florence, Venice and Rome). All this has been possible through Swapandstay and we have been able to organise a two month itinerary with flights, hire cars and accommodation all from my desk and, of course at much lower cost than staying in hotels.

Bill from Ohio has swapped his condo in Chicago for an apartment in Tuscany, Italy.
"My wife and I asked for a swap on an apartment in Tuscany and received a timely response for an exchange that will take place early next year! The nice part about it is it will not be a simultaneous exchange- the couple with whom we are exchanging are planning a visit and use of our condo on Michigan Ave in Chicago at a different time".

Ken from Georgia has swapped his rustic mountain cabin in The Blue Ridge Mountains, Georgia for a Daytona Beach Condo in Florida.
"Our family has previously vacationed in Florida and had to pay for hotel and condo rooms but this year have used your service to swap our mountain cabin with a Daytona Beach condo at no charge to us. It worked out perfectly for us!".

Diane spent her 50th birthday with her twin brother in Mallorca.
Diane Hutchinson owns a villa in Calis Beach, Turkey. Her twin brother lives in Mallorca. They celebrated their 50th birthday in July and wanted to spend their birthday together.
In the past Diane has had to pay for hotel accommodation when she visited her brother in Mallorca. Thanks to Swapandstay, she was able to swap a week in her Turkish villa for a week in an apartment in Cala D'or, Mallorca.
