Start your home exchange experience with People Like Us by building up your listing. Add unlimited photos, describe your home and region, introduce your family, and include a profile picture.
At People Like Us, we offer four types of home exchange:
Simultaneous: The most common type, where you exchange homes with another member at the same time.
Non-Simultaneous: Exchange with another member at different times, providing flexibility in travel arrangements.
Non-Reciprocal: A one-way exchange, with exclusive use of another member's home. Most non-reciprocal exchanges use Globes, our unique token for non-reciprocal exchanges. A Globe is worth one stay at another member's place, with duration and location agreed upon by you and your exchange partner.
Hospitality: Experience staying at another member's place like an invited guest, using part of your host's home.
Explore your dream vacations with ease by sending enquiries through People Like Us. Our intuitive filters help you define desired destinations, dates, and home types. Introduce yourself, share your preferences, and contact multiple members in your desired region.

"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!"
"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!"
"I would recommend PLU anytime. There is such a positive atmosphere among the members and a safe feeling of belonging to this “familiar” community."
"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!"
"If you have ever thought of home exchanging, People Like Us is the ONLY website and community you should turn to to give it a try. It will quickly make you realize what you’ve been missing and make you question why you waited so long to try home exchanging. Welcome!"
"Perhaps the most friendly home exchanging community in the world, People Like Us brings like minded people together. With a love of travel, whether that be far and wide, or in your local area, PLU is a fabulous network offering ideas about destinations that you may never have contemplated. Come on, join us! You will never look back!"
"To me, the only and best travel exchange community with a genuine feeling of kindness and open mindedness..."
"We have had such a fantastic experience with this site! I am a PLU convert!!"
