The most important part of People Like Us is our community. It's what makes us "People Like Us". See what hundreds of our members have had to say about PLU and our community.
We just completed our first home exchange ever! My mother-in-law lives in the house we have up for exchange and she is somewhat particular. Prepping for the (non-reciprocal) exchange itself was a bit anxiety inducing, but it went smoothly overall. Our guests left the house in immaculate shape and even left us a sweet parting gift/note. My mother-in-law was thoroughly impressed with our guests and this whole "new-to-us" concept. Looking forward to doing this again and meeting new friends along the way.
Exchanging on PLU is like a different “high!” Some people like chocolate, some like desserts, some like wine…we LOVE to travel and share our home with others! PLU has made this a very warm community where we start as strangers and leave every exchange as friends. When we get a “yes” to a proposal, we are beyond elated and SO excited for the trip ahead! We are equally excited to accept a proposal and host in one of our homes!
People Like Us is a warm, welcoming community. In it we have found kindred spirits who view the world with the same enthusiasm and curiosity as we do. We have opened our front door and found the whole world waiting on the other side. It's an absolute joy! One thing we've found here that we don't have on our other exchange site: a vibrant Facebook community. It feels such a privilege to be connected to so many people who also have what we call 'an exchanger's heart', people who understand what is at the core of swapping homes: a genuine desire to travel, share and grow. As Susan Sontag once said, "I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list."
