Re: House exchange
Hi there,
I have used Home for Exchange to good results in the past. It is not free, but it is good value for money (I think it was less than £30 for 18 months, so as long as you stay somewhere for one night, you recover your money). They have the facility to post pics of your home, plus there's a pro-forma contract that you can tick on and sign with your exchange partner. Would recommend.
Good luck to your friend with his exchange - we are off to BC next Spring and hoping to visit Nanaimo, too!

Re: House exchange
And I found the info useful as well. Seems lots of people want to come to Vancouver when me and HID want to go to the UK or Europe.
