Needish

A very small help with the English -- I think you mean you would like to "borrow" a house by the seaside in California in exchange for a villa by the lake in Sweden. As currently written, it appears like you are offering to provide BOTH the LA house AND the Swedish Villa, which sounds really great to me. I only point this out to avoid confusion.

Personally, I wish I had either! The villa sounds lovely.

Hi Elisabet! I am from California and actually studied in LA. Unfortunately I am not very familiar with any house swap websites, but I found a couple that don't have membership fees (most do):

http://www.1sthomeexchange.com/index.php - offers a basic membership that's free, but with this membership you have to wait and hope that someone contacts you, you can't contact other users

http://www.exchangezones.com/homeexchange.html - you have to register but it's all free

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/swp/ - again, completely free

Hope this helps you out, and if I hear of any friends who want to go to Sweden I'll let you know! Also if you need tips on anything while you're in LA, just let me know
