Enjoy Retirement in Style with People Like Us

Are you semi or fully retired, or working independently? Now is the time to seize the freedom to travel around the world. Where does your heart long to wander?

Retirement is a milestone worth celebrating—a moment to pause, reflect, and ask yourself, Where to next? For Susan and Jim from Charleston, South Carolina, the answer to that question became a way of life.

“We’re retirees who love nature, art, music, travel, hiking, history, architecture—and, maybe most of all, food,” they shared. “Seeing the world through others’ eyes is what brought us to home exchange. It’s such a unique way to explore the planet.”

They were right. Home exchange isn’t just about travel; it’s about stepping into someone else’s world. It’s mornings spent wandering cobblestone streets in Portugal, evenings sharing long conversations over a meal in Whistler, and afternoons hiking the trails of the Swiss Alps. It’s the joy of discovering Maui’s vibrant underwater world one day and returning to a home that feels, even temporarily, like it’s your own.

When you travel through home exchange, you get to experience the rhythm of daily life in a way no hotel can offer. There’s something comforting about waking up in a local neighborhood, visiting the corner market, and cooking a meal in a kitchen that feels familiar, even though it’s thousands of miles from home. It’s not just about seeing a new place—it’s about being part of it.

Barbara, a retired member from Tucson, Arizona, put it simply: “I wish I had found out about People Like Us sooner. It’s allowed me to not just dream about travel, but actually experience places I wouldn’t have thought about before.”

Through People Like Us, retirees like Susan, Jim, and Barbara have discovered a way to travel without rushing, without breaking the bank, and without feeling like tourists. Instead, they live like locals, embracing the seasons of life and the new connections that come with every journey.

With no accommodation costs, you can stay longer and travel more thoughtfully, letting your plans unfold naturally. Whether it’s a week in a new city or a year exploring a region you’ve always dreamed of, the experience is shaped entirely by you and your exchange partner.

Retirement is your time to do things differently. With People Like Us, you can trade the predictable for the extraordinary, the fleeting for the meaningful. Your next adventure isn’t far away. It starts with an open door and a simple question: Where to next?

My husband Patrice and myself are experienced home exchangers and we love it. We are dreaming of a time when we will be able to travel the world and home exchange... all year round. We are starting slowly, one exchange at a time
