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

Yes, home exchange can involve various accommodations like houses, apartments, villas, and houseboats. Exchanges often involve different types of homes depending on location and preferences. People Like Us offers a plethora of accommodations to explore and enjoy.

Open communication and clear expectations are vital for a memorable and enjoyable exchange. Discuss any questions or concerns with your partner beforehand. 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.

A teacher-friendly home typically is equivalent to your own home away from home for the mutually agreed time. If you want to, there may be opportunities for cultural exchange by engaging with local schools or other educational institutions, as well as learning about other teaching practises in different regions. Or maybe you just want to relax and simply enjoy your time exploring a new destination.

While on People Like Us, you may search for homes that are owned specifically by teachers. Once in touch, feel free to get to know your home swap partner! You can establish any teacher-related needs, and exchange tips about the most interesting places to visit, natural wonders, cultural venues, local events, restaurants, markets... anything that will make all the difference to enhance your stay and theirs.

Your own listing will provide an opportunity for potential home swap partners to get to know you. Of course, include your profession, and any specific requirements you have, such as a quiet workspace. Establish whether you both consent to sharing educational materials, if appropriate. You can also mention any educational institutions nearby that may be of interest to visiting teachers!

Apart from quiet workspace availability, and access to educational materials or resources, one can ask about the stability and reliability of the internet. Be curious about local attractions and cultural not to miss that might make the difference in your potential stay.

Accuracy is important when describing your listing. The clearer your description of your home and amenities, the better the experience for both parties can be. Of course, discuss expectations, it’s important to establish those ahead of time. Finally, and most importantly, be considerate of your exchange partner’s home and belongings, as you’d want them to respect your own space.
