changing places
Switching spots around
Changing places is swapping positions with someone or something else—physically, socially, or figuratively.
Two people change places when they exchange seats or roles: We changed places so she could sit by the window.
The phrase often implies experiencing another's circumstances: I wouldn't change places with him for anything.
