Great question! Homes that are listed as “open to inquiries” are ones where the host has not indicated that their home is available, nor have they requested a swap to your area. You're welcome to reach out by sending a "swap interest" request to these members. This will send them a message and allow them to start a chat with you if they are interested. You'll see the option to "send swap interest" on their profile if they're open to receiving these types of requests.
