A family lived a real life 'The Holiday' and swapped their home for a villa in Cyprus with strangers from Facebook.
Emma Coulthurst, 37, was looking on house swap sites after wanting to take her Mario-Kart obsessed son, six, to Super Nintendo World in Los Angeles, US.
She posted on a Facebook group and didn't get a response until a family in Zeytinlik, Cyprus, offered up their place to swap instead - six weeks later.
Emma decided to go for it and the family spent £1,600 on their flights to Cyprus in July 2024.
They spent three weeks in the three-bed villa with a pool and ate local cuisine, visited waterparks and saw baby turtles.
