"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."

"This is the friendliest most user interactive site available. The owner Drew and PLU members fully represent the TRUE home exchange philosophy of trust, sharing and openness. We have been members of other home exchange communities for a number of years. We joined Peoplelikeusworld (PLU) recently after it started. Definitely the best decision we made."

"L'échange de maison est une formidable façon de voyager, à la fois très confortable et très proche des gens. PLU est une communauté de personnes avec les mêmes valeurs de partage de respect et d'envie de voyager et de découvrir !"

"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."

"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."

"We have had great experiences with 2 exchanges so far on People Like Us. It seems to have a very active and friendly community and the website is pretty easy to use. This was our first experience with home exchanging so I can't compare to some of the other sites out there but I would highly recommend PLU."

"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.""

"J'ai découvert ce concept d'échange de maison sur PLU. J'ai pu faire un seul échange, avant la période COVID. Celui-ci s'est extrêmement bien passé. J'espère bien pouvoir renouveler l'expérience au plus vite !"

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

"PLU is as much a global family as it is a home exchange site. Other members feel like friends, especially the ones we have exchanged with. Members care about each other's welfare and we even have a Secret Santa at Christmas!"

"Easy and wonderful!"

"This is my first use of the Globe system and it really was so helpful in this instance. I had had an exchange offered during January on a different site. They then cancelled at short notice, due to ill health. The Globe then came into play when I saw a blog who was offering accommodation ,non reciprocal. It meant we could go ahead with our plans. Thank you!"

"Very friendly community! A great experience which generate friendships and unforgettable trips."

"Wonderful community and well managed by Drew Seitam, who listens at the members and take care of their needs."

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

"Extremely happy with the website People Like US for home exchanging. The members are truly caring and the founder is hands on and listens to the members. IT is a great way to meet people as well! Highly recommend."

"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."

"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!"

"People Like Us is a Community, with a capital “C” ! The members share their love of exchanging, meeting families from around the world, making new friends and provide support to make your exchange a success!"

"People Like Us is not an ordinary exchange platform : it's a spirit, a community and a lot of friends everywhere! We've been exchanging home for a long time now and we found again here what we were searching for in the beginning : the real "Share". Try it, you won't see your house and your holidays the same way you did before!"

"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."

"Good platform to use to arrange exchanges. Simple and comprehensive. Facilitated communication easily and the instructions etc are clear. Recommended."

"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 would recommend PLU anytime. There is such a positive atmosphere among the members and a safe feeling of belonging to this “familiar” 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."

"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."

"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!"

"The PLU wesite simso much more user friendly than The platform we previously used! Hoping for more Exchanges with PLU!"

"We are enjoying the difference this home exchange site offers, compared to another one we have used for many years. Members are genuinely interested in the home exchange experience. The site is easy to use. We have just locked in our first exchange and have two more under discussion."

"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'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."

"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."

"Kindest community in the world! Excited to be a part of such a great group."

"People Like Us is a very personable home exchange web site. Newly created and very much a small business approach to the concept. Virtually all the major home exchange web sites have turned professional and increased charges accordingly. Like real estate MLS sites, these web sites provide a marketplace for people to meet and negotiate exchanges; none of which they own or manage. Nice to see someone trying to keep costs (and profits) low."

"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."

"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!!"

"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."

"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!"

"We have recommended PLU to a few people who have joined and are active on the fb page . We tell them it’s the best home exchange group and to come and join us and see for themselves."

"People Like Us is a very easy to use platform for home exchanging. It's based on trust - and supported by an excellent Facebook page - and a very gifted administrator, Drew Seitam. I have already set up two confirmed northern hemisphere - southern hemisphere exchanges (the difficult kind that uses long haul flights) with PLU. So enjoying being part of this community."

"We are new to home exchanging and we met here many wonderful and kind people. Last year we did cat-sitting exchange with a lovely family in Hamburg which was a life saver during covid times. We can't wait for more exchanges in the future!"

"Wonderful home swap group!"

"We have been home exchanging as our primary form of travel for the past few years. PLU is the most trust-worthy, supportive and valued site, by far. We are thrilled with the variety of members around the globe and by the personal support provided when needed."

"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."

"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!"

"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."

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

"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."

"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!"
