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!

"We've been home exchangers for many years, and came across PLU about 3 years ago. We immediately got the feel that it was a strong community - and that has proved to be the case. We've now done 4 exchanges - despite the challenges of Covid! Great site, easy to navigate, warm welcomes across the community and a growing membership - what's not to like!! ;-)"
"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."
"Old school home exchange, many friendly exchangers, beautiful homes. Very recommended!"
"I thoroughly enjoy the sense of community and the friendly Facebook group and website. Drew has done a great job at creating a friendly place where travel dreams can come true. There's a whole world to discover! I'm delighted to say I'm building my exchange history now and it only makes me hungry for more. I'm so happy I discovered this style of travel."
"Just a great place to meet new people experience different cultures!"
"This is the friendliest most user interactive site available. The owner Drew and PLU members fully represent the TRUE home exchange philosophy of trust, sharing and openness. We have been members of other home exchange communities for a number of years. We joined Peoplelikeusworld (PLU) recently after it started. Definitely the best decision we made."
"We absolutely love PLU. It feels like a real community and that you have friends all over the world. We were just about to activate our Home Listing when corona hit and had to delete our plans. Hopefully 2022 will be the year we get to do our first PLU Home Exchange and perhaps meet other members."
"This is a fabulous site to find for someone who loves to travel, can show trust and hospitality, and who wants their travel to be about more than seeing things through a tourist’s eyes. The concept is simple, but the details can be complex, and the site has been constructed to ease members through the process of identifying potential swaps, negotiating how and when it might happen, and planning ahead on the practicalities. Better still, the site owner has built a community of interesting and interested people, welcoming sharing of ideas - and later - the experiences gained through home exchanging. I’m very happy to have found this site - and this group of people - and hope to have years of swapping ahead."
