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!
