Louise
We are a retired couple who have exchanged homes since 2014, starting on another platform. How lucky we were to find PLU and became hooked on their simple, supportive and friendly way of home exchanging. We’ve been believers since the beginning! We love home exchanges!
People Like Us is the world's most trusted home exchange community. We believe in sharing, trust, generosity, respect, communication, equality, cooperation, honesty, hospitality, friendship, flexibility and adventure. We take pride in our homes and we care about the environment in which we live: our village, city, country and our planet. We care about the ethos of home exchange and we do it because we love the experience and the friendships that it generates.
