    R. Paul Stevens

    There is a favorite line from my novella Dinner Party For Eight in which Angela asks Harry:“What do you think I am?”Harry considered this for a moment. What was she actually?“Well I suppose you are a very beautiful cook.”So if I have to answer the same question what am I actually? I would also need to consider this for a moment. I would like to say I’m an ex astronaut, have more degrees than a thermometer, have competed in the Tour de France without any EPO, surfed Teahupoo in Tahiti and emerged unscathed, sailed round the world, am an ace Alpine skier, am a member of Mensa, have a beauty queen wife and gorgeous kids, and started my own corporation which has listed on NASDAQ. I could go on but like Arnold Schwarzenegger I don’t want to boast.Well to be honest, I have gone some of the way towards all those things. I do have a letter from Wernher von Braun, I do have three degrees in Physics, I have flown in a jet plane (Emirates Air), I do cycle the mega steep hills here where I live but unfortunately can’t get EPO anywhere, I am a keen surfer who has almost managed to break his neck, I am an ocean going skipper and I did own my own yacht though if it was me I wouldn’t sail with me as captain, I do ski but you need to get out of the way, I do have a beautiful wife (though her agreeing to marry me has to be my biggest piece of luck ever) and two great kids, I do have my own software business but no stock exchanges alas and I would like to take the Mensa test but I’m pretty sure I would fail and then I wouldn’t be able to live with that so I would rather rationalize. I live in that sapphire city – Cape Town.

      Introduction

      Yes, I am a Home Exchanger and have done several successful exchanges.

      No, I’m not going to tell you to make sure the electricity and telephone bills are paid, that you’ve stocked up with toilet paper, emptied the trash cans and that the lawn is mowed and the pool sparkles in the sun.

      Let’s cut to the chase.

      This is a 10 minute Power Guide.

      In 10 minutes or less you will learn all you need to know about whether you should even consider an exchange, and if so how to go about it and ACHIEVE RESULTS.

      I’m a businessman…every minute of my time is precious and so is yours.

      Anyone can exchange homes.

      It is estimated there are about 250 000 successful home exchanges every year and the market is expanding steadily. Some of these exchanges have been for weeks or months on end and have enabled the exchangers to experience different cultures and customs which they would never otherwise have been able to afford or even consider. Honesty and trust are fundamentals in any successful swap.

      Internet and software matching exchangers have been the great facilitators.

      There are advantages and disadvantages.

      This guide spells out when it’s feasible and even desirable and
