About Reverse Search

Introducing reverse search! It's the best way to find other members who are specifically interested in visiting your country, your region or your nearest city.

This is a new feature at Intervac International. Our members are the only ones in the home exchange world who have the opportunity to enter an unlimited number of countries, regions and cities into their listing, and we have had great feedback from them about it. The more our members define their preferred destinations, the richer this feature will become for everyone.
