Swap Your Digs Online

BOSTON -- How would you like to spend a week at a home in a quaint Irish village and spend nothing for your lodging?

Well, there is a catch -- you have to let the resident of the home live in your place.

It's called house swapping, and a Web site called Digsville.com gives members a place to swap their homes with others who want to explore different locations.

For example, a family from Vermont can trade a ski chalet for a week's stay in a Manhattan condo.

The site is easy to navigate and has thousands of listings with pictures and feedback from other members. The annual membership costs $45.

It gives vacationers the opportunity to live like a local, have extra space and save money.
