## Resource

If you’re the kind of person that plans ahead, you’ve probably already got your summer holidays booked months ahead of time. Nevertheless, holidays are always pricey, with Europeans spending an average budget of €1600 over the last 3 years according to Statista. For those of us who are lucky enough to be able to travel, let’s not take it for granted. It’s a privilege, which some people unfortunately can’t afford. However, there are alternatives for those on a shoestring budget. Well, if I’m broke I can’t go anywhere can I? It must take a lot of organisation, mustn’t it? How can I organise my first home exchange? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
