People Like Us

"What a helpful and friendly bunch. I love being part of this caring and friendly community."

"I love this platform. 😊😊"

"PLU is a great home exchange site with opportunities to make friends across the world. We are from the UK and have completed an exchange with New Zealand and have had a family from Italy stay in our home. During covid, we have taken the opportunity to travel within the UK and have done, and are planning some great, more local swaps. Our experiences so far have been extremely positive. I would recommend PLU to anyone interested in travel. Not only is it a great way to travel sustainably and with less costs, it is an enjoyable way to connect with others from around the world. During covid, the PLU facebook page has come into it's own and i have treasured the connection with others. Through it i've seen pictures of wonderful places, learnt about culture, enjoyed learning about different foods etc. We have even had the opportunity to do zoom calls, one of which was a Spanish lesson! Please come and join us :)"

"Having been a long term exchanger with another site it was devastating when that site destroyed itself and I had nowhere to turn. However by chance I saw PLU and the rest is history (new). A wonderful site offering camaraderie as well as homes."

"We joined the site in 2019 and quickly organised our first swap with another dog-friendly household.The website is easy to use ( well done Drew) and everyone seems friendly and welcoming. No experience with other sites but this ticks all our boxes so far. We are looking forward to travelling further afield and can't wait for our rescheduled exchanges in Canada and France. Hoping to earn a Globe this year by offering our home when we are on a non-exchange staycation. We love it!"

"I am new to home exchange. As newbies, we've felt welcomed and taken care of by the wonderful community that is PLU. We already got two exchanges organized with wonderful families and so looking forward to traveling more this new way."

"Un site où règne un véritable esprit d'échange. -- A site where you get a real exchange spirit."

"We love PLU! It is our first home exchanging experience and we have felt so warmly welcomed by the PLU community. There is such an atmosphere of camaraderie and shared experience that you just want to really connect with everyone. The site has been well designed and easy to use. We foresee many happy exchanges to come."

"People Like Us has quickly become my favorite home exchange site and online community. The site is so easy to navigate and I’m 100% happy with everything it has to offer. It is easy to get in touch with all the friendly members. The response rate on exchange propose really is excellent in comparison to what I have experienced before. We have already completed one exchange and have two more lined up. I love chatting with my fellow PLU’s in the Facebook discussion group and think that Drew Seitam, the founder and owner of this website, has done a terrific job so far!"

"People Like Us is a very friendly community. The exchange process is easy and the layout of the website is very user friendly. Kudos to PLU!"

"muy buena pa todos los que somos intercambiadores de casas . felicitaciones a DREW Y a su equipo . gracias."

"I´m an active member of People Like Us since January 2019. I love being part of this community of homeexchangers. It´s a community that is growing every day that I feel I can trust made up by newbies and experienced exchangers. We all learn new things everyday and exchange information about our experiences through their very active Facebook page. Join is! You won´t regret it."

"Site qui porte très bien son nom... basé sur le respect et la confiance. Je ne peux que recommander car c'est le site de mon premier merveilleux échange. Merci à Drew pour le temps qu'il passe afin de toujours améliorer ce site."

"Great website. Thanks Drew! People on here are really like minded. It works and the general human kindness shines through from the set up of the site and the people that share their homes on it. Right now writing from a beautiful houseboat located in the southern part of the Netherlands. Great hosts!"

"We followed PLU on Facebook for some time and were very pleased about how actively the people communicate there and get to know each other, so it gained our trust for home exchanges and we are really looking for our first experience."

"I just schedule my first exchange and found it a very easy process."

"I love it so far!"

"Lots of wonderful homes listed, and a good and effective page, easy to search for homes and write to members. Very helpful Facebook page associated, with very friendly and kind members, who are eager to help in any way. Highly recommended Swap site!"

"People Like Us is an amazing platform with warm, open minded and hearted people. The platform is lead by a very kind man who is open to ideas and really listens to the platform users. Therefore it is more like a community than a basic platform. We have had several exchanges through People Like Us who have all been wonderful. We have made friends for life here and I am very glad to be a part of this great platform. I would recommended it anyone!"

"Site très sympa, pour fair des échanges de maison en toute simplicité ! -- Very nice site, to make house exchanges with ease!"

"A very warm and welcoming community."

"We have been exchanging homes for years and have had numerous wonderful experiences. To us home exchange offers the best of two worlds: Visiting new places combined with the cosiness of a real home instead of a hotel. We have visited areas that are less touristic and some of those are among our best holiday experiences."

"People Like Us is more than a home exchange...it's a FAMILY of like minded people who want to experience the world."

"Very friendly and easy to share our house with another family over the world. -- Un site vraiment convivial et chaleureux pour partager notre maison avec une autre famille partout dans le monde"

"I think it's a great idea and I'm super grateful for this site. I've used other paid home exchange site and so far, I think this site is amazing! Super easy to use and manage the listings searches."

"Joined this site to expand our home exchange options, expecting the normal impersonal interaction with other exchangees and invisibility to site administrators. Found instead, a community who are dedicated to principles of friendship and respect, and an administration team whose motivation is not commercial, but genuine interest in, and concern for, the satisfaction of members. I cannot recommend this site highly enough."

"Love the PLU website! Very easy to use even on a mobile. Very interactive!"

"So happy with all the features..its working as things should work."

"Great site, great people, beautifully managed."

"Perfect!! Wonderful way and perfect style to discover the world!!"

"It is the most friendly homeexchanging community in the world! We have been using homeexchange sites for almost 5 years and we still use other sites too. But since we became members of People like us we always start our search within its community as it has the highest answering rate and kindest people. People like us :)"

"Great site based on trust and respect. A perfect way to enjoy your holidays."

"I recommend PLU !!👍 Thanks a lot Drew."

"New site with old philosophy of exchange. we have added this site to our exchange options and have only had good experiences of communication so far. Our first exchange is in process now as a non-simultaneous exchange and we look forward to completing it next year. Everyone so far has been friendly and open in their communication. We will not renew our listings on one old site and lo replace it with People Like Us."

"People Like Us is so much more than just an exchange platform - it’s a community. Not only have we found exciting exchange destinations and fantastic homes and locations, but also made new friends across the globe. And we constantly learn more about other countries, customs, local food, handcraft, languages and so much more through the lively Facebook feed. It has given an international touch to our everyday life!"

"A life changing website! Amazing community and opportunities. People Like Us has changed the way my family travels, and introduced me to lifelong friends. The globe system is a favourite feature of mine. Highly recommend!"

"Recently was browsing the updates on the website and was so happy with the great search functions, filtering and the new feature called feed. It’s brilliant and you can post and chat back and forth like on Facebook but it is exclusive to PLU members and has no extraneous ads or info you have no interest in. It’s impressive to have such a dynamic and always improving platform. So refreshing."

"Wonderful home swap group!"

"Great support, wonderful community, very friendly vibe. »Back to the roots« internet platform, where it's about true community and not about stealing your data and pleasing the shareholders. Great experience."

"Awesome community, awesome homes! I can't wait to see how it will grow in the future. I have done 3 exchanges via People like us so far and they have been great and very positive experiences. Keep up the good work!"

"Very excited by our first exchange to San Diego in a couple of months which we exchanged for a globe ... the process so far has been extremely smooth - I m so grateful for this opportunity to explore another city - am telling all my friends and family to sign up to people like us !"

"I accidentally stumbled onto People Like Us through Facebook and decided to find out what this group was about. Though we are avid travellers the concept of home exchange was new to us. From reading the warm and friendly posts on Facebook this gave us confidence to become involved with excellent timing as we were about to embark on an epic 3 month trip through Europe. Thanks to PLU we were able to successfully engage in 3 exchanges in Croatia, Sweden and Denmark, with our Croatian hosts actually arriving in our Sydney home tomorrow night to complete the exchange! The community in PLU is full of friendship, generosity, kindness, trust and respect and I feel so grateful to be part of this amazing community. I highly recommend other like minded people to share in this amazing journey - it is truly the best way to travel!"

"This is truly the most wonderful platform to exchange homes! We exchange since many years and find that the people and homes here, are just the nicest you can imagine. Especially, if you are an experienced exchanger, you can feel that the "real home exchange spirit" is alive here - with people sharing not only their homes, but also their friendliness and outstanding helpfulness. Love this "place" and can only highly recommend to be part of this extraordinary community."

"Love this group and its communitive. Everybody is friendly and helpful and so many people offers their help if somebody needs it. We have had wonderful exchanges trough this group and have found new friends for life. We recommend this group to everyone who knows are interested in home swapping. The founder Drew Seitam is doing an amazing job. The group just gets bigger and better each day."

"So glad we found this website to begin our home exchange journey. The website is great and there are so many homes to look at, it is a really friendly community of home exchange partners."

"This is a fabulous site to find for someone who loves to travel, can show trust and hospitality, and who wants their travel to be about more than seeing things through a tourist’s eyes. The concept is simple, but the details can be complex, and the site has been constructed to ease members through the process of identifying potential swaps, negotiating how and when it might happen, and planning ahead on the practicalities. Better still, the site owner has built a community of interesting and interested people, welcoming sharing of ideas - and later - the experiences gained through home exchanging. I’m very happy to have found this site - and this group of people - and hope to have years of swapping ahead."

"We have organised our first exchange through PLU. The exchange has been accepted and our globe has been transferred. We have made arrangements to receive the key to the apartment. So far, so good. Painless."

"This is our favourite home exchange site. We have been a member of 5 other sites over time but PLU is the site we refer people to when they ask us about home exchanging."

"We've just agreed our first two exchanges with PLU and couldn't be happier with the whole experience!"

"La communauté PLU est vraiment formidable : elle fait preuve de bienveillance, d'humour, de générosité (il y a beaucoup d'entre aide spontanée lorsqu'un membre est en difficulté)... tout cela sous l’œil attentif et amical du créateur du site Drew. Quelle chance de pouvoir faire partie de cette belle "famille" d'échangeurs !"
