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!

"People Like Us is a warm, welcoming community. In it we have found kindred spirits who view the world with the same enthusiasm and curiosity as we do. We have opened our front door and found the whole world waiting on the other side. It's an absolute joy! One thing we've found here that we don't have on our other exchange site: a vibrant Facebook community. It feels such a privilege to be connected to so many people who also have what we call 'an exchanger's heart', people who understand what is at the core of swapping homes: a genuine desire to travel, share and grow. As Susan Sontag once said, "I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list.""
"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"
"We have recommended PLU to a few people who have joined and are active on the fb page . We tell them it’s the best home exchange group and to come and join us and see for themselves."
"The PLU platform is more than a house exchange site! It is a space where each member wants to support and encourage others. We exchange our homes but also know how to live together! Advice, tricks, gifts, and even a Secret Santa are part of what we love about this platform. And we also want to share all of this to create a new, more egalitarian and more collaborative world. We are proud to be part of this home exchange community!"
"Gorgeous, A site with people like us, as its name indicates. Free registration, two weeks after 2 exchanges for our planned trip to Australia. Excellent"
"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."
"I would recommend PLU anytime. There is such a positive atmosphere among the members and a safe feeling of belonging to this “familiar” community."
"The website is constantly upgraded with added features and functionality to make it more user-friendly. The site seems to be a labor of love for the management."
