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!

"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."
"Just completed our first exchange and we are hooked! I had looked into it for years but never felt fully comfortable until connecting with members on PLU. We were excited to become Founding members as soon as the option was available! Its money well spent! We already recouped the expense of the 3 yr membership with our one exchange! We could have not found a hotel room for the night for what we spent. We are so thankful to Drew and all the wonderful people who have built this special community!"
"I think PLU is amazing - and Drew is doing an exceptional job of managing this site."
"We absolutely love this PLU Family that we are all a part of! Nothing compares to the wonderful and amazing friends that we have made, and continue to make :) We never thought that we would even want to exchange our home but now we can't get enough of looking for exchanges!"
"PLU is an amazing home exchange organisation driven by trust, honesty and a deep desire not just travel but to get to know people in other places, especially those who have allowed us into their homes. PLU may be the newest exchange sites but it doesn't lack wisdom. It's founder - one of the nicest Australian humans you could wish to meet - listens to members; is constantly improving the functionality of the website, and loves meeting PLU members. A winning combination! I would highly recommend PLU. It doesn't matter if your home is a small flat, a smart apartment, a country mansion or a cottage by a lake. If you can make people feel welcome, new friends will come. Give it a try."
"We are long time home exchangers yet have never encountered a community of like minded travellers such as PLU. Supportive, friendly, caring, giving. It’s quite the “world” we all have helped to create here at PLU! Come join us and experience travel like you’ve never travelled before."
"I am so impressed about this community and the authentic travel experiences PLU offers. Love how much thought and care that goes in to each swop and the preparations made my the hosts to make the guest stay as warm and unique as possible. I cannot wait to welcome other PLU's to our home and look very much forward to doing more exchanges"
"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"
