Home exchanges are an interesting idea. I recently let a friend of a friend use my place here in Anchorage for 5 days while I was out of state on business. It worked out well and I wouldn't be opposed to doing something like it again. Having the "friend of a friend" reference made me feel much more secure. I don't think I'd be too excited about strangers using my residence, but I wouldn't be opposed to sharing it with FT'ers etc.
