"Excited to see where this website and members takes us in the future"

"I love PLU :-) I first learned about the PLU community around New Years 2018/19 when I came across the Facebook group. I followed the communication there for some weeks and felt it was just what I had been looking for being a big fan of the original home exchanging spirit. I signed up January 2019 and listed my home and within 10 days I had organized my first exchange with an English family, that I had already "talked" to via the FB group. And since that January I've had several offers from all over the world and have organized different kind of exchanges - simultanious, non-sim and hospitality. This is by all means a site and community where people take ownership in the best possibel sense and there is always a great tone when people communicate both "behind the scenes" as well as in the FB group. Also an amazing willingness to help out each other if/when people reach out no matter what the issue is. I can only give my highest and best recommendations to PLU - join us!"

"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."

"So happy to be part of the People Like Us home exchange community. Like many others we come from another platform which changed so badly. Drew Seitam who created PLU has a face meaning he asks for feedback, listens to the users and so this rather young site develops and grows very very fast! So, please check their Facebook page and then register your home on their website!! And you can start exchanging. Highly recommended."

"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 wish I had found out about PLU sooner! It has allowed me to dream (for now due to COVID) of traveling to far away places, but actually staying at places I wouldn't have thought about before. The members are so friendly and the Administrator, Drew Seitam, responds quickly to questions or any user problems you may have. It's also fun to be a part of the Facebook group where you are in conversations with people from all over the world and get the scoop on where the locals recommend that you go to for sites and food."

"Everything is arranged very well and clearly on the website and there is a nice active facebook group where you can ask all your questions but also general exchange proposals. The founder of People Like Us is very enthusiastic and also very active in the fb group. It really feels like a group of new friends that I haven't all met yet. The vibe is very friendly and helpful and the experienced members help the newbees wherever possible. We have just arranged our 2nd exchange with very nice people in South Africa, how nice is that!"

"I have just finalised my first exchange with this exchange platform. I have been in other exchange networks for years, but what I have found in trying to set up an exchange through People Like Us are that the people are REALLY friendly and have gone out of their way to try to make an exchange enquiry work. I am getting out of another house exchange network because the people treat exchanges like transactions, and I really value the personal side of the exchange and are so disappointed when this isn't reciprocated."

"I’m not new in exchanging my home, but only few months ago I knew People Like Us. In this time I have arranged one exchange, but many people contacted us! The site is easy to use and the web Master is always working to make it easier."

"Fantastic home exchange group. Owners listens to the views of his members before instigating any alterations to the membership rules and options. Friendly , trustworthy group. Associate Facebook page, has members who are happy to help, and offer advice. Great community feel."

"Eine wirklich phantastische Tauschplattform! -- A really fantastic exchange platform!"

"I believe that People Like Us is by far the best home exchange platform out there. The PLU members are the friendliest and most welcoming group of exchangers and the founder, Drew, has done an excellent job of creating an outstanding website and giving life to this beautiful world-wide community of people like us!!"

"PLU is the home exchange site with a great community feeling. This is home-exchanging in it's purest way. Home exchanging is about trust and PLU provides and deserves it."

"The process in organizing an exchange was great for us! This was our first exchange and we were very pleased to have had the opportunity to participate."

"So far so good ! Meeting wonderful new people and finding out about a new way to share the world and make Connections ."

"I don't often take the time to write reviews, but PEOPLE LIKE US (PLU) is awesome! The management is friendly and accessible and has cultivated a kind culture that I'm glad to be part of and I enjoy participating. I highly recommend PLU and will continue to list my homes and enjoy travel without paying lodging fees. Thank you Drew & Team PLU!"

"I've been swapping homes for quite a few years now and it has become for me the only way to travel (I've done over 40 to date). The financial advantages are obvious but there are so many other reasons why it really is the best way to experience another country, another city, another culture. Staying in someone's home, in their community, is a very enriching experience. I can honestly say the 'community' which People Like Us has gathered is a friendly, honest and trustworthy one. I find the members to be like-minded people who just want to share their homes in return for a stay in mine. It's a simple, easy, win-win exchange."

"Excellent site ! I recommend 100 % !"

"This is a friendly and welcoming group of home-exchangers. It has been easy to find people interested in exchanging with us. Due to Covid 19 we have only had one echange close to home so far. In the future we have several options available."

"PLU has returned us our faith in home exchanging. Drew and his platform embody everything we value in home exchanging: closeness, familiarity, trust... Besides that the response time to any issue is astonishing, and Drew is open to hear our opinions when he introduces any change (however small). He has given us the sense of belonging to this huge adventure and this is just awesome."

"Scrivo la mia testimonianza in italiano perché purtroppo in Italia viaggiare scambiando casa é ancora un modo di viaggiare poco conosciuto, invece credetemi è fantastico: visiti luoghi che non avresti mai visitato, lontano dalle mete turistiche, sei ospite in case piene di comfort, incontri gente accogliente da tutto il mondo e spesso rimangono in contatto con te nel tempo, risparmi e a volte scambiando anche l'auto è comodissimo, c'è sempre qualcuno a casa tua per bagnarti le piante o dar da mangiare ai tuoi amici animali. Tra tutte le comunità a cui mi sono iscritta questa é senza dubbio la migliore, super organizzata e piena di gente simpatica!"

"A well organised, caring community of people with a common goal - to generously share their love of their home and their life with strangers, who become friends in the process. The best part is that no monetary value is given to the different homes. The process is left entirely up to the exchangers who can then work out what is fair and appropriate, which has the interesting effect of creating such wonderful generosity. The group is efficiently moderated and regulated by tireless Drew who is responsive to the requests of his growing community. The website functions well and if a glitch should occur a quick message to Drew will get it sorted. The Facebook page is friendly and very informative."

"What a fabulous home exchange platform this is! I am very much looking forward to going on my first exchanges this year and more planned for next year. The friendly inclusive platform created originally by Drew Seitam, and supported wholeheartedly by its members, is testament to how supportive positive communities can evolve and thrive. I would not hesitate to recommend People Like Us and look very much forward to many wonderful home exchange experiences ahead."

"A very warm and welcoming community."

"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."

"People Like Us is making it possible for my family to spend the month of July in Denmark this year. It is very easy to get your house posted on the site with all the needed information. The site also has a great search tool to help you narrow down your search and help you find families to possibly exchange with. Making and excepting a proposal through the site was easy as well. It’s all very clear and laid out nicely. We are so glad we found this site and can’t wait to start exploring the world!"

"People Like Us is more than just a home swapping website - we love feeling part of a community that offers opportunities to make meaningful connections with people around the world."

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

"I've been a member of People Like Us for about 10 months and have organised 3 exchanges so far. I have been on other exchange sites and the "vibe" at PLU is something special. Everyone is so friendly, helpful and happy! The comments on the facebook group are supportive and helpful. You really feel the sense of community and trust, which is needed when exchanging homes. The best thing is that the "owner" of the site is very responsive to ideas, so if you have an idea of a feature, filter, etc that you would like, you just ask and he gets it done asap. (this is a huge change from my previous site where they were totally unresponsive). If you are thinking about starting home exchange come and check out PLU."

"A fabulous site with help and advice freely given."

"Great new home exchange program. Built on trust and integrity. Although in the growing stages, very active members and excellent support information. We have been exchanging for over 20 years and are excited to be a member of PLU. It’s the best option out there for people who are really interested in exchanging homes with other like minded, trustworthy and engaged members."

"I have just received a couple of folks interested in an exchange. It seems that this site has people on it who are more committed to it, as compared to some other sites. I also get a much larger percentage of replies, instead of just being ignored."

"People Like Us is a very user friendly website to use with a great map feature which really works and also has a very friendly Facebook group too!"

"Totally addicted to PLU. We love this Home exchange website, we found the spirit we were dreaming of. Because of Covid our swaps have been cancelled or postponed but i know we will be able to meet all these exchange partners very soon. While waiting for better times we stay in touch in a very easy and friendly way through PLU Feed or Facebook. Go for it and enjoy !!"

"Il nostro ex sito preferito per lo scambio casa è stato ceduto ad un altro gruppo che ne ha cambiato l’impostazione e la filosofia. In questa fase di transizione abbiamo trovato su Facebook un messaggio di Drew Seitam, che presentava il proprio sito People Like Us. Ci siamo iscritti sia al sito che alla pagina Facebook e da lì è stato subito tutto perfetto! Il sito è bellissimo ed è in continua evoluzione (Drew è proprio bravo); la ciliegina sulla torta è il gruppo Facebook sul quale gli utenti si scambiano consigli e idee di viaggio: sembra come un piccolo paese dove tutti si conoscono e si aiutano. Cinque stelle sono poche, aggiungiamo anche tanti applausi ed un grazie a Drew che ha reso possibile tutto questo."

"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."

"People Like Us worked for us! We had a lot of discourse between our exchange partners and were aided by Drew, the owner, on how to finally write a proposal that would please both of us. We are participating in three home exchanges from Provence to Croatia and love People Like Us!"

"Great service and community"

"I can only have nice words for People Like Us because of many different reasons: a very active, helpful, kind and enthusiastic community of people who really love exchanging; a user friendly site, growing fast and improving day after day; and last but not least of course, a founder always taking care of every member and focusing on our requests (that's a 6 stars (out of 5) regarding customer focus!!) My first People Like Us exchange took place last Easter (agreed just two weeks after I joined) and more exchanging coming soon....love exchanging with people like us."

"We find the People like Us platform very pleasant to work with. It gives us peace of mind that you can choose to make all information only accessible to members. This dynamic platform is open to suggestions for improvement and we find it a joy to experience that the site is constantly being refined. All the members give a lot of friendship through the facebook group. We are very confident that the first home exchange that we have arranged with PLU will be a success."

"When we decided to jump into the "home swap pond", our choice was definitely People Like Us. This home swap community created by site founder and owner Drew Seitam is fantastic. It is certainly the start of a great adventure for us. And we have already met some wonderful people. You too jump !"

"This is the perfect home exchange site, especially for new home swappers who may be nervous about joining the home swap community. It provides all the information and advice you need and links you up with the friendliest home swap community out there waiting to answer any questions and give you a very warm welcome. We have had an excellent exchange through this site and have just finalised another. We look forward to many more adventures through PLU."

"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."

"I find this group to be so friendly and helpful offering such wonderful exchanges around the world. It's a terrific way to travel and meet wonderful new friends as well!"

"I've never really been a "joiner" (like Groucho Marx said, "I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.") but PLU changed that. After serendipitously coming across their Facebook page and joining just to see what it was, I loved these people! Adventurous, trusting, fun, and friendly, they were the people I followed during Covid. When Drew (who I feel like I know personally) created a way to officially join, I joined--and I'm so glad I did!"

"Our family just completed a non-simultaneous with a family in New York. People Like Us has attracted such great like minded families. The site is so easy to use and if you have a suggestion to make the site better, Drew really listens to your suggestions and implements them when possible. Great site, friendly Facebook group. Don't hesitate to join today."

"Very nice and trustworthy platform. Great personal approach by the owner and creator. Members seem very dedicated to the true spirit of home exchanging."

"People Like Us is unlike any other traveling community I have ever been a part of - I feel such an innate trust for everyone on here. It's really quite incredible. Thank you, Drew, for setting the tone and remaining so engaged!"

"Yay first exchange ! I just organised my first exchange with PLU and it couldn’t have been easier. Started the process yesterday and all confirmed today!!"

"Great home exchange site, nice community, great owner, clear and well working platform growing in members. Highly recommended to join."
