Green List Travel Inspiration: Home-swap to Green List countries this summer

Following the recent travel announcement, flight prices and holiday bookings soared as the government unveiled the list of countries British holidaymakers can travel to without having to quarantine on their return.

Whilst hotels or private rentals will always be popular, for those seeking an exceptional holiday, exchanging homes is the ideal solution – and leading members-only site Love Home Swap has the most stunning properties to prove it! Home swapping is a simple, cost-effective way for people to travel at a fraction of the traditional price, while staying in the comfort and safety of a ‘home away from home’. With 36% of our members travelling four times a year, the average Love Home Swap member saves £3,400 on holiday accommodation by choosing to home swap.

Additionally, it offers private homes in less crowded destinations, away from busy hotels and resorts. With homes in over 100 countries worldwide, Love Home Swap has some stunning properties available to swap in the recently announced Green List locations.
