Vancouver and one alstor, World Travellers Enjoy Trade-a-House Scheme “I can't afford to go to Quebee, but I can afford to go to Europe,” says Bess Luteyn, Incongrous? Not if you are able to arrange a home ex- change, she explains. You stay in’ someone else's. home in Europe and they stay in your home in Canada, In 1972, a Dutch doctor and his wife planned to visit their: * daughter in Vancouver. The daughter commented that her quarters were really too small fo accommodate her family comfortably. Luteyn's answer to this was, “Let them’ take over our house while ‘they're here and we'll take over their flat in Amsterdam.” It worked’ out so well for the Dutch couple and the Luteyns that they swapped * again in '74 and "76. “We never met the cou-, ple,” Luteyn said. “We passed ” in the air. And on our arrival in Amsterdam, all we had to do was pick up the keys to the flat and the cars. The doctor and his wife. did the same thing in Vancouver.” Other people hearing of J these housing arrangements asked Luteyn if she could arrange something similar for. them. Since such projects take’ time, know-how and money, Luteyn formed a company, Europe Canada Holiday Home Exchange, which was incorpor- ‘ated in June‘ of last year. She. has two partners, , Sandra Galan, who was the head accountant; at the bank Luteyn dealt with and who now takes care of the book work and -administration of the company, : and a representative in Hol- sland,” who looks ‘after the European end of the business: “We have ‘modelled the company after. ‘a European ‘operation ‘that’ is in its 18th -year,” says Galan. Luteyn adds, q “We really pinched the idea and redesigned it for North Amer- fea.” There are other organiza- tions in North America that operate mail order home ex- changes, say the entrepre- heurs. "You pay for a home exchange directory and make your.own arrangements, “In our case, we'll doall the work for you, It's $12 to join and $100 for the actual ex- change. An exchange holiday’ like this can break downto as little as $2 a day—the longer the holiday, the cheaper it gets, And it doesn't matter how long you exchange for. The only expense is the travel cost and the day to day living. We ‘circumvent hotel costs.” According to Luteyn and Galan's figures, it would cost a minimum of $30 a day if, travellers had to stay in hotels. For three weeks, the figure would. be close. to ..$1,000 as opposed to ‘the $100 home exchange fee. on Singer ane FASHION FABRICS Srorsevereseuyyyareirercerrs ccs eee ) Carter's Sewing Center Singer Sales & Service .:.;: Castlealrd Plaza. 365-38) 0 Kootenay Distributors Proudly Announce . . .
