Concept previews — interactive prototype available in demo mode

Teachers have time off. Travel is expensive.

The school calendar gives you freedom — but traditional travel costs hold many teachers back.

Accommodation costs

Hotels and short-term rentals can make long summer trips unaffordable for teachers and their families.

Shared holiday dates

Educators around the world often share similar breaks — the perfect window for swaps, if you can find a match.

Untapped opportunity

Thousands of teachers have homes sitting empty during school breaks while they travel elsewhere.

A home exchange community built for teachers

An educator-only community designed to connect teachers and support trusted home exchanges during school holidays. Travel the world for less.

Verified teachers

Connect with educators rather than strangers. Trust starts with who is in the community.

Swipe to discover

Browse homes and destinations with a simple, familiar experience — save places you love for the holidays.

Match and chat

When both teachers are interested, start a conversation and discuss a potential exchange privately.

TeacherHomeStays simply helps teachers connect. Any home exchange arrangements are made privately between members.
