"People Like Us is so much more than just an exchange platform - it’s a community. Not only have we found exciting exchange destinations and fantastic homes and locations, but also made new friends across the globe. And we constantly learn more about other countries, customs, local food, handcraft, languages and so much more through the lively Facebook feed. It has given an international touch to our everyday life!"

"People Like Us is like belonging to an exclusive but friendly club. Drew, who created the website, is amazingly available for any help and advice, as is his team. Other members always seem to respond quickly and positively, even if they can't manage the exchange you might have in mind, they'll almost always try to help. Basically, it's for 'people like us' - adventurous, warm, outgoing travellers who like other people and are inclined to trust them. It's not for everyone, but if you like the idea of something new, something different and the chance to meet other like minded friends it's for you."
"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!"
"Great site & network. We were with another home swap site for many years, but we are so impressed by PLU. So friendly, accessible & true to the sustainable ethos of the original home swap organisations"
"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!"
"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."
"The site is well made, you can quickly contact people to propose the exchange, the people registered are friendly and open, you find the right spirit to rely on serious and motivated people."
