I am about to take a month mental health break from work and I want to trade houses with someone in Iceland. I’m on vancouver island so it’s a good trade I think.
Has anyone ever done similar and how did you do it?

Hi, we have done this about 20 times. Never had an issue.
It is a great way to see the world as you get to see a real local home, if you have kids they get their own rooms complete with toys and all. You typically find (and should prepare for your guests) a long list of recommendations and local attractions from pharmacies, bakeries, grocers to small local attractions that are not in guide books.
Oh, and accommodation is free. This enabled us to stay in Vancouver for 4 weeks as a young family as we only had to pay for the flights and rental car - yes, European, we get long paid holidays over here (😇).
PS: We‘ve use homelink.org ( not affiiliated) and were happy with their database. But I am sure there are others like it.
As you are from Vancouver Island you should not have any issues finding an exchange.
I hope you find a nice swap and find everything you need in your difficult time.
