Testimonials
The most important part of People Like Us is our community. Hundreds of members have opened their homes, and told us what happened next.
A very niece community where everyone care way beyond just houses. An extended family basically!

We definitely prefer the PLU platform to the other platform we have used in the past, and it is wonderful that Drew is so accessible to help with questions! We are glad to be involved! We have hosted one PLU family and have stayed at the homes of 3 PLU families and have had great success! The people involved with this website really care!

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

As a Founding Member of PLU I have made friends on this site. It is relationship and communication based rather than the transactional based of the 'other's exchange sight. Everyone watches out for each other. We are one big, happy family of people that love to travel!!

My husband and I have only had the opportunity to welcome one couple from Holland so far. Our experience was wonderful and unforgettable! We exchanged many enriching experiences and had the impression that we had been friends for many years. They spent almost a week in Petrópolis with us and then alone, in Búzios - our second home.

This is truly the most wonderful platform to swap houses! We have been exchanging ideas for many years and have found that the people and houses here are simply the most beautiful you can imagine. Especially if you are an experienced exchanger, you can feel that the "real home exchange spirit" is alive here – with people who share not only their home, but also their friendliness and outstanding helpfulness. I love this "place" and highly recommend being part of this extraordinary community.

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!

The PLU community is really great: it shows kindness, humour, generosity (there is a lot of spontaneous help when a member is in difficulty)... all under the watchful and friendly eye of the site's founder, Drew. What a chance to be part of this beautiful "family" of interchanges!

We -experienced exchangers- joined People Like Us earlier this year and we have not regretted that step for one second. It really is the best exchange site on this planet. It’s members are kind, friendly, passionate, hospitable and always ready to step in with suggestions, help and advice. Drew Seitam, the owner and founder, really listens to the members and is creating a platform that everybody is comfortable with. He does a marvelous job. I more than strongly recommend joining PLU and start the art of exchanging.

We love to travel but most of our money was going towards terrible places we paid too much for and was given poor accommodation. We had see home exchanges for a long time but didn't know anyone that tried it until our son did an exchange and told us we should try it, no regrets, we've started in 2024 and have done ten plus exchanges on three different platforms up to August 2026. I'm retired and my wife works part time online so this works ideally for us. Take the plunge you will be amazed at how you're treated by strangers.
