"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."

"Discovering PLU has been such a wonderful experience for us. We love the community and exchanging has completely changed the way we think about travelling. With two small children and being restricted to school holidays, travel was previously so expensive and frustrating. We love arriving at a new exchange with all the home comforts and being able to explore somewhere new. We would urge anyone on the fence to jump right in, you won’t regret it."
"People Like Us is unlike any other traveling community I have ever been a part of - I feel such an innate trust for everyone on here. It's really quite incredible. Thank you, Drew, for setting the tone and remaining so engaged!"
"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!"
"Just completed our first exchange and we are hooked! I had looked into it for years but never felt fully comfortable until connecting with members on PLU. We were excited to become Founding members as soon as the option was available! Its money well spent! We already recouped the expense of the 3 yr membership with our one exchange! We could have not found a hotel room for the night for what we spent. We are so thankful to Drew and all the wonderful people who have built this special community!"
"People Like Us is more than just a home swapping website - we love feeling part of a community that offers opportunities to make meaningful connections with people around the world."
"I wish I had found out about PLU sooner! It has allowed me to not only dream of travel, but to actually experience places I wouldn't have thought about before. The members are so friendly and the Administrator, Drew Seitam, responds quickly to questions or any user problems you may have. It's also fun to be a part of the Facebook group where you are in conversations with people from all over the world and get the scoop on where the locals recommend that you go to for sites and food."
