“You stay in our home while we’re here to host you. At another time we’ll stay in your home while you are there to host us”. A hospitality exchange is where you stay with your host as a guest for an agreed upon time. Then, at a different agreed upon time, you reciprocate and your hospitality exchange partner stays with you. As the host, you would typically make dinner, show your guests around town, and / or provide the itinerary and guidance for them to explore your area themselves.
