I long to go to NYC... I have wanted to go for a very long time, I did a European trip in 2004 that lasted almost 3 years. I think I will defiantly look into this home swapping business, when I stayed in London I am sure there was a TV show called Home-Swapping about, you guessed it, home swapping.
If you know of someone that stays in NYC that would like to do a home swap with me please send me a email :)!! we live in Cape Town, South Africa...
It must be awfully weird meeting somebody online and swapping houses with them? only one way to find out!!
here are a couple of pictures, beautiful and colorful Cape Town... just to entice you, think about it
