My Costa is your Costa

That second home in France has served you well, but you don't always want to be tied to the same destination. Two swap schemes offer a change of scenery without selling up ? or breaking the bank. Ginetta Vedrickas reports

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

O wning a second home abroad brings with it certainty and security – after all, your holiday home is there whenever you feel like visiting. But owning a home abroad does not have to mean an end to seeing other parts of the world and it can even make it easier to do so.
