How it works

ONE

List your home

It takes an evening and about ten photos. It doesn't need to be grand — it needs to be somewhere someone would like to wake up.

TWO

Find people like you

Browse, message, get to know each other a little. Most exchanges start as a conversation weeks before anyone mentions dates.

THREE

Agree the dates

Swap at the same time, or use Globes to stay somewhere without hosting in return. No money changes hands either way.

Find a welcoming home in thousands of locations in over 100 countries.

Get Started

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.
