Can you trust a total stranger?

I just happen to really love this movie and fell totally in love with Jude Law's character here! I also love the idea of going to a far away place alone for a time just to clear my head and keep myself sane from all the insanities in my life (that is if I am as rich as Cameron in the movie and could actually afford to travel far). But realistically speaking, I don't think I can do the home swapping thing and trust a total stranger to live in my house even for just a day, especially if I'm that rich. I would probably just rent out a room in a hotel instead of swapping my home with someone I've just met on the internet. But, on the other hand, it would also be cool to live in someone else's home for a while, that is if I could really trust the person to be able to also take care of my home. It would certainly be a great adventure for me!
How about you, would you also be able to trust a stranger that easily to swap homes with him/her for a week? And do you think that it is also a good idea to go to a place with a totally different culture and environment from what you're used to on your own and still be able to clear your head and have a good time?

no I would not want to swap homes or swap families or any of the crazy stuff for not matter how much money. I think it is crazy. I would not feel comfortable with someone else's family.

Well I can and I'm also very wary of people.
Generally those I get on with from the first impression seems to be a good thing for me to go by.
It would also depend what was what but sure I would trust something but I would also work at getting to know them better before I consider anything. It wouldn't be worth the risk otherwise.

yes that was a really good movie. I enjoyed it as well. I do love the idea of going to a far away place as well and if what happens if I did go, that happened in the movie then I would have no problem settling in. I really doubt it would though! LOL. I would have no problem with swapping homes with someone for a week. I mean if there was anything that was that important to me I would just remove it from the house beforehand. Both my hubby and I feel that there is nothing in the house that isn't replaceable and to us if someone has to steal it then they need it more than we do. I know it is a naive way to look at things but hey they are only things! So bring it on! Someone willing to switch homes with me? LOL
