What’s the sharing economy?

Original post: https://www.room4exchange.com/en/blog/sharing-economy/

The sharing economy has been a fast growing concept for a while now but many people still don’t know what they’re missing out on. The main concept of the sharing economy is to share or offer services or spaces that you don’t use for most of the time for a small fee or free. Many people are making money or building great connections all over the world by sharing or exchanging their unused and empty rooms with someone else. The best part is that there’s many websites and platforms that have taken on the task to enable these connections by joining the services offered with the possible consumers.

The most important thing about this is that the sharing economy connects people to other people based on what one person wants and what other can offer unlike the current economy strategy of big companies where they sell you a service you might not really need by convincing you that you in fact need it. In Rooms4Exchange we connect people who are willing to exchange and share their empty rooms with someone else.

So why share a room? The first thing we have to look into is the financial benefits of sharing that empty room in your house. Whether you exchange for another room or you pay a small fee to live in that room, there’s a win-win situation. However, this means you’ll be also acquiring a flatmate, someone you can divide the expenses with or the house shores. In general, life can turn out to be easier when you share it with someone else.

If you’re going away from home for a long time sharing your empty house with other people can provide you a sense of security. While you’re away either on vacation or a business trip you know there’s someone in your home therefore, your house isn’t completely vulnerable to burglars. Being away from home means a chance to share your room with someone who needs it. So you might not get a flatmate but you will have someone helping you make sure your house is safe.

Sharing a room through a platform like Room4exchange allows you to be at the center of the sharing economy and witness how it grows. More and more people are joining each day to share their empty rooms, meet new people all over the world and create connections based on mutual trust and interests. Who wouldn’t want to be a part of that? The world is dire need of more people that are willing to share what they have and in your case, you might be able to share a room.

Exchange your room and travel the world

Today we'd like to share with you why planning a trip with Room4Exchange would be the best decision ever. Our platform has revamped the way you plan your accommodations elsewhere by offering a system that allows users to turn their unused rooms into a place they can exchange with someone else. The temporary exchanges can be for a couple of days, weeks or even months and are 100% safe. But, if nothing has convinced you so far, here we give you a list of four reasons why planning a trip with Room4exchange.com is such a great idea:

You save money: Joining and exchanging rooms in our platform is free and fast. All you really need is a place you’re willing to exchange and find someone who would make the exchange with you. Think about it, why pay to sleep in another city when you already pay to sleep in your own?

You’re protected: once you’re ready to make an exchange, it has to be approved and each party of the deal is insured. This insurance covers a wide range of situations and accidents that can happen while you’re away. Also, users who’ve already participated in exchanges get reviews which is a good way for others to know whether or not they want to trust that person.

Experience travel like no other tourist ever has before: there’s over 5000 users from all over the European Union and many other countries registered in Room4Exchange. There may be many reasons why you want to travel somewhere else and there’s no better way to experience travel than to do it locally. Remember that the exchanges are done in mutual agreement so you can make sure before you go that the place you will be staying in is close to spots you want to visit!

Much more than a room: when you exchange with other users, there’s always the possibility of exchanging other things. People are asked to list interests and encouraged to exchange other activities and services both parties are interested in. It can be anything from exchanging guitar lessons for a month to use of an extra parking spot, learning the local language or, a tour around the city.

In general, planning the accommodations for a trip can be a dreadful and expensive task that simply makes people avoid traveling all together.

Planning a trip with Room4exchange, especially, planning the accommodations for your next trip won't only save you time and money but it will also help you connect with others on a global scale, build new friendships and live extraordinary experiences.
