European Roofswappers have been visiting the United States in droves for the past few years. A weak dollar made the US a real bargain for them. American swappers have not been quite so enthusiastic about the effect on their travel budgets of the uneven currency rates.
The Euro is currently at its lowest strength against the dollar in years. And while the dollar buys more in Europe these days, America is still a bargain for Continental Roofswappers.
This is the perfect summer for your US-EU RoofSwap.
Imagine experiencing "La Dolce Vita" first hand in your own Italian villa. Or putting together a picnic of the finest French cheese and warm baguettes at a street market just down the block from your own Paris pied a terre. Roofswap brings these rich cultural offerings down to earth for even frugal travelers.
One of RoofSwap.com's greatest strengths is that it combines the power -- and listings -- of several leading home exchange clubs.
Most swap clubs have strong listings in just one region. RoofSwap has more diverse listings because its club partners specialize in different areas.
This means that both European and American Roofswappers have thousands of listings to choose from in prime destinations.
With a RoofSwap for your overseas accommodations the currency exchange rate levels out. When you RoofSwap for a week or more your highest fixed expense is airfare. May is the perfect time to arrange your August RoofSwap get-away.
At today's exchange rates it is finally time for you to take that trans-continental swap trip you've been dreaming of.
