"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."

"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!"

"PLU's founder Drew, has created a community of like-minded people that works for the individual member and the group. We have witnessed its growth over the last couple of years and are amazed at the caring attitude of its members. So many times, when help has been needed for various scenarios, the Facebook page is alight with suggestions and offers; and most often a solution is found. Drew has also been consultative and responsive, adapting the website and adding features that make it easier and more efficient to use. We are happy to be part of this group!"

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

There are four types of exchanges: Simultaneous: you and another member exchange your homes at the same time. Non-simultaneous: you exchange with another member but you travel at different times. If you don't know when you'll travel for the second leg, you can leave the dates blank and bank a future exchange. Non-reciprocal: in this type of exchange, you stay in another member's home but they do not come to yours. In a non-reciprocal exchange, you have full use of the home. In People Like Us, you can host a non-reciprocal exchange just to make you feel good, or you can do it for a Globe, PLU's token system. When you earn a Globe, you can use it to travel to someone else's home. Hospitality: also a non-reciprocal exchange in that only you travel to the other member's home and they don't come to yours, but in a hospitality stay, you only have partial use of the home and the other member will also be there. You can also use a Globe for a hospitality stay.

Home exchange is a vacation accommodation solution where people swap their homes with other travellers without money changing hands. It allows families to stay in their exchange partner's home while the other party stays in theirs. Home exchange can be reciprocal (simultaneous or non-simultaneous) or non-reciprocal.

Home exchange involves a free swap of homes between two parties, whereas renting a vacation home involves paying a rental fee. Home exchange offers a cost-effective and immersive way to experience different destinations.

The exchange itself is free, but to access all the benefits of home exchange, a yearly membership fee applies when joining People Like Us. https://peoplelikeus.world/premium

Here are a few tips to prepare your home for a successful home exchange: > Clean thoroughly: Create a welcoming space for your guests. > Clear out space: Ensure enough closet and storage room for them. > Provide clear instructions: Detailed info on amenities helps them feel at ease. > Arrange key exchange: Coordinate with your partner for a smooth arrival. > Prepare for arrival: Add a personal touch with a warm welcome gesture.

Home exchange is based on trust and reciprocity, with platforms implementing safety measures like identity verification and secure messaging. Open communication and clear expectations with potential partners ensure a safe exchange.
