Is trading STRs for vacations a thing?

[Mike Carpenter]

Do people trade or barter their STRs for vacations? In other words, I'll let you stay at my STR for a week if you let me stay at yours. Maybe compare based on ADR or similar.

Is that a thing? If so, where do people do it?

Thanks!

Some people do. You'd prob be better off just keeping yours rented and renting somoene's rather than trading for free.
