You have to be the right type of person to let strangers live in your house and use your pots and pans. Chose your potential housemate like you would search for a love mate on match.com or yahoo personals. Get referrals if it would make you comfortable. Communicate with them to learn all you can about them even with a language barrier.  France and England has lots of home exchangers, while Greece, Italy and the Caribbean are more difficult to find exchangers during peak season.  Registration fees are about $50.00.
