If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go? If you could stay in any house in over 150 countries without exchanging money with the owner, would that change how you view traveling? A growing number of travelers exchange their homes and it could be you. Tune in to this week's episode of HAE Invites with host Denise Silber as she interviews Emmanuel Arnaud, CEO of HomeExchange.
Emmanuel Arnaud’s love for travel to faraway places and having guests from other countries in his home began in his youth, thanks to his family. As an adult, he turned these passions into his mission as an entrepreneur. Arnaud launched a community of travelers in 2011, when he started Guest to Guest. This dream was further expanded, when he partnered with Charles-Edouard Girard, and together, they acquired HomeExchange in 2015. To what does Emmanuel attribute his success? Building companies on the human qualities of kindness and resilience.
