Holiday Home Swap - Save on Car Hire and Accomodation Costs

Gather travel expert Milly has saved cash over the years on hotel costs and car hire by swapping her cosy home in the UK with holidaymakers from America, Canada and France.

She uses the website homelink.ie to find suitable swapping candidates. She won’t be using the service this summer — she is planning some building work on his home — but Milly has no qualms about handing over the keys to her house and car to a stranger who wants to holiday in Ireland.marmite-teapot.jpg

For families with small children, house-swapping is ideal. “If you are travelling to America, families there often have people-carriers instead of saloon cars. That will save you a fortune in car hire costs and you will have plenty of space.

“Many people ask me, ‘Are you not afraid they will wreck your home?’ The answer I always give is, ‘Well, would you wreck theirs?’ Of course you wouldn’t,” said Milly, who has swapped homes in Perpignan, Connecticut and Vancouver.

“If there is something you really don’t want people to get access to, lock it away. But in all the times I have house-swapped, I have never come across a locked room.”

Milly, who has had three teenage children, used to do a house swap every year.

“As the kids get older, we are starting to do it less. The kids want to go on holidays where their friends are,” he said.

Apart from saving on hotel and car rental, there are other benefits.

“If you are a golfer, for example, you could swap with somebody who owns a house on a golf course. That could entitle you to free golf.”

Old Spice Ads

The new style old spice ads have been around on the net and on TV in the States for a while now (the ones where he rides a horse backwards etc), but Old Spice have started to use the comedy video format to engage with their audience directly. Check out this thank you video for Perez Hilton (personally, I can’t stand the guy)  after he mentioned the Old Spice ad actor in one of his posts.

This is a great way to get users involved in your brand and seems to be working extremely well for them. No more old Check out a full write up here.
