WHY SPORTS FANS WILL LOVE
LOVE HOME SWAP
If you’re participating in a destination sporting event, then you’ll need
accommodation. Thanks to home-swapping services like Love Home
Swap, you can now ease the financial burden and enjoy the luxuries of
home when recovering from your event.
f you’ve got a hectic calendar of
sporting events planned for the
rest of the year, then no doubt you’re
tallying up an arm’s length of expenses
with gear to buy, entry fees to pay and
travel costs to front.

All together, these expenses can make
participation a costly exercise, which
isn’t helped by the heavy inflation of
accommodation prices during big events
– and that’s if everything isn’t fully
booked already!
Home-swapping is proving a valuable
travel trend for budding athletes, with
sites like Love Home Swap allowing
participants to swap their way to free,
quality accommodation across all corners
of the globe.

Access to larger homes also offers the
potential to stay with others participating
or attending the event, and often the
ability to stay closer to the action, where
hotels and traditional accommodation
might not be available.
Love Home Swap has also introduced a
Swap Points system, where members of
the site can coordinate non-simultaneous
swaps, making home-swapping more
accessible than over.
