Be your own chef and you can save money and add an extra cultural experience to your trip
Weird, random, oddball, and just plain fun tours and activities you can sign up for in the U.K.
Sleep for free on vacation by watching someone's house (and, often, watering their plants and feeding their cat)
Trading spaces isn't just a show on basic cable anymore. It's a way to live life like a local on your travels absolutely for free—so long as you let the local borrow your life (and home) in return.
