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.
Receive enquiries from others, opening doors to fantastic opportunities. Even if you're not interested, respond courteously - we value a caring community.
For more exposure, join our lively Facebook group, where we chat about travel and life. Share your home and travel preferences. Trust, the foundation of home exchange, thrives in our community. Your perfect vacation awaits!

"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!"

"We think this is the most inclusive and friendliest site in the world. It's like we are just waiting to meet our new best friends from around the world that we haven't had a chance to meet yet! So many friendly and exciting lands and opportunities await us all. Let's get traveling!! Wishing everyone and their families a safe and prosperous 2023!"
"This platform is the most supportive travel community I have ever experienced. Exchanging your home is a very personal decision but PLU makes it easy, comfortable, and exciting. Home exchanging is a wonderful way to travel and live like locals in any part of the world. The best part is the friends you make while exploring each other’s favorite places."
"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."
"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"
"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!"
"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."
