"PLU is an amazing home exchange organisation driven by trust, honesty and a deep desire not just travel but to get to know people in other places, especially those who have allowed us into their homes. PLU may be the newest exchange sites but it doesn't lack wisdom. It's founder - one of the nicest Australian humans you could wish to meet - listens to members; is constantly improving the functionality of the website, and loves meeting PLU members. A winning combination! I would highly recommend PLU. It doesn't matter if your home is a small flat, a smart apartment, a country mansion or a cottage by a lake. If you can make people feel welcome, new friends will come. Give it a try."

"I've never really been a "joiner" (like Groucho Marx said, "I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.") but PLU changed that. After serendipitously coming across their Facebook page and joining just to see what it was, I loved these people! Adventurous, trusting, fun, and friendly, they were the people I followed during Covid. When Drew (who I feel like I know personally) created a way to officially join, I joined--and I'm so glad I did!"

"I write my testimony in Italian because unfortunately in Italy traveling by exchanging houses is still a little-known way of travelling, but believe me it is fantastic: you visit places you would never have visited, far from tourist destinations, you are guests in houses full of comforts, you meet people welcoming from all over the world and they often stay in contact with you over time, you save money and sometimes even exchanging the car is very convenient, there is always someone at your house to water your plants or feed your animal friends. Of all the communities I signed up for, this is undoubtedly the best, super organized and full of nice people!"

"We absolutely love being part of the PLU community, with our only regret being that we don't have more time available to us to be able to really make the most of it. We've had some fantastic exchanges - both within our own country and on the other side of the world, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend PLU to anyone. People ask if it feels odd letting 'strangers' stay in our house, and the answer is a definite "no"! By the time a swap takes place, the exchangers aren't strangers, they're friends!"

"PLU's founder Drew, has created a community of like-minded people that works for the individual member and the group. We have witnessed its growth over the last couple of years and are amazed at the caring attitude of its members. So many times, when help has been needed for various scenarios, the Facebook page is alight with suggestions and offers; and most often a solution is found. Drew has also been consultative and responsive, adapting the website and adding features that make it easier and more efficient to use. We are happy to be part of this group!"
