For Couples Home Exchange in Brazil

You list your home, earn 1 credit for every night you host a guest, and spend those credits to stay at any other home in the network — always 1 credit per night. No money changes hands between members. New accounts start with 10 free credits, so you can book your first trip before you've hosted anyone.

Every member goes through identity verification before they can list or book. All conversations happen inside the SwappaHome platform — you never have to share your personal email or phone number to coordinate a swap. After each stay, guests and hosts leave mutual reviews — reputation is the foundation of the whole community, and members with low ratings lose access. For extra peace of mind, we recommend confirming house rules in writing before arrival.

No. SwappaHome uses a credit system, not direct 1-to-1 swaps. You can host a family from Berlin and use the credits you earn to stay with a completely different host in Tokyo six months later. It makes travel dates, destinations and group sizes much easier to match.

Yes — you can earn credits by hosting in a spare room, a long-term rental (if your lease allows guests) or by gifting/receiving credits from other members. You can also buy a starter pack if you want to travel before you host. Listing your primary home is the most common path, but it's not the only one.

Brazil's romance hides in its cultural textures. Couples gravitate toward the colonial towns—Ouro Preto's baroque churches and hillside sunsets, Olinda's carnival-colored alleys—and the slower pace of places like Florianópolis or Trancoso, where evenings center on fresh seafood and live forró. In cities, the ritual of afternoon coffee, neighbourhood street fairs, and intimate music venues create natural moments of connection. The warmth of Brazilian hospitality also means locals readily share their favorite quiet beach cove or family-run restaurant, turning a trip into something deeply personal.
