A word from the president of Homeexchange.com

We are pleased to be able to be associated with Jean-Philippe's exciting adventure. I was thrilled when we learned that he was going to use home exchange as the means to put into action his philosophy of "Discover-Share-Learn ". His journey will be the ultimate manifestation of everything I have always believed home exchange can be.

As Jean-Philippe meets his exchange partners, they will be sharing and learning about one another and different cultures at a very personal level, but through his blogs, his next stops and hopefully his book, they will ultimately be sharing with a much wider audience. His trip and what he learns will be viral, in the 21st Century's very best sense of the word.

We hope Jean Philippe's story will encourage others to use home exchange to travel and experience an area as a local, not a tourist.

That is why we are pleased to offer a special discount to visitors to JP's site, and also contribute a portion of those Membership fees to help cover the expenses of his journey.

Bon voyage Jean-Philippe!
