While it's true that it's easier to get an exchange if you live in the centre of London or Paris, PLU is definitely not just for touristy places. One of the wonderful things about People Like Us and home exchange in general is that people are far more likely to travel to different and unusual places. If you do live in a less touristy place, send lots of enquiries and make sure to advertise your home on our Facebook group. It really works to help you find an exchange.
