Love Home Swap has launched a new service in which travel-hungry Brits can be Photoshopped into the foreign destination of their dreams

We aren’t allowed to travel right now, but that doesn’t mean we can’t frame a new photo of ourselves lounging by a pool in Portugal, admiring the mountains in New Zealand, or even spotting animals in South Africa. Introducing a new holiday photo service by global home-swapping platform Love Home Swap which offers free professional Photoshopping to any destination in the world.

Whether it’s an old family picture from the archives, or a snap taken in your home in lockdown, simply post your picture to @LoveHomeSwap on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook, along with your destination of choice. And just like that, the travel-loving home-swapping gurus will Photoshop you there, making it look like you’re actually on holiday, rather than being stuck at home in yet another lockdown!

Love Home Swap members have properties in more than 100 countries all over the world, many with incredible views – perfect for a placeholder picture, while you plan for a real holiday in the future.

Although a Photoshopped picture to a far-flung destination is no comparison to actually being there, the aim of this free service is to give people hope. Because even if we can’t explore the world at this moment in time, soon we’ll have the freedom to travel to these incredible locations!

Célia Pronto, Managing Director at Love Home Swap says: “Just because we remain grounded and unable to travel, doesn’t mean we can’t picture ourselves anywhere in the world. We know it’s tough at the moment, but an image speaks a thousand words, so we’ve designed this free service to help Brits visualise the joy a holiday brings, even if we can’t go anywhere right now. We encourage people to use this photo as a placeholder until the real picture can be taken when travel opens up again – a photo from the future, if you will!”
