Swapping homes for vacations

I found a superb site via Blog Catalog, which is turning out to be an interesting gathering place of bloggers in itself. The site is all about swapping homes for vacations and is called Travel the Home Exchange Way, which is completely dedicated to providing listings, advice, recommendations, reviews etc on exchanging homes for vacations. I look through travel sites all the time, but never came across this one and this is exactly the kind of stuff that I love. Hotels are fine but there's nothing quite like getting to see how real people live, experience their living style and get a better understanding of their culture. In essence, to be a traveler rather than a tourist.
