People Like Us

"Fabulous site. Currently growing but with a large number of homes that makes it worthwhile joining now. I love the friendly vibe and really like that it has an active FB group that delivers some accountability and a real community vibe! Sign up! You won't regret it!"

"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."

"PLU has the most welcoming and friendly people. As someone new to home exchanging, I was a bit nervous about how it all works, but it's been a terrific experience. The site owner is also very involved and responsive to issues/questions/requests that come up, which is so helpful. If you're on the fence about home exchanging, or joining PLU, take the leap!"

"We’ve been home exchanging for 15 years, and have been members of several sites. When People Like Us started up, we were ready to try something new. What a pleasant surprise to find a friendly and active Facebook group, and a user-friendly website with a rapidly expanding range of homes for exchange. Within a few weeks of joining, we had arranged our first exchange, and more have followed. Everything has gone smoothly with our exchanges, and the support network on the Facebook group is amazing. The website has all the features we need to find our perfect exchange opportunities, with a few extra fun features as well. For new starters on home exchange, and for experienced swappers, People Like Us is the place to be!"

"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."

"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 !"

"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 !!"

"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."

"This relatively new website is very easy to use and has many features I like including the ability to put captions on photos. I like that it really is "folks like us" and not people renting out spaces commercially. This is much more friendly and approachable. Polly"

"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!"

"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."

"It is absolutely wonderful connecting with fellow exchangers on PLU. Truly, it's the most rewarding experience. I would highly recommend "crossing over" at least a night with your exchange group. The connection and local information you learn is invaluable. What an awesome tribe:)"

"Fantastic site, members give you ideas of places to visit that you haven’t even considered. Drew has listened to his members to improve the site to what it is today. I have managed to finalise 2 swaps to areas I’ve been trying to exchange to for 5 years. Thank you! & keep up the fantastic work."

"In 90+ exchanges we have never had a better time or been treated better than by our exchange partners. Beautiful, user friendly home, great prep for our stay, I highly recommend this as a great base to enjoy southwest WA. Just hard sometimes to leave the home it is so lovely to be in."

"Great site for home exchange. It is more attuned to the original values for home exchange, a true community of people that respect this way of travelling."

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

"We are members of another exchange website and have organised a number of successful exchanges through it. But for our upcoming trip to Australia PLU had far more properties and had some filter options that really helped in locating potential exchange partners. I really appreciate all the work Drew has put into the site and am looking forward to our exchanges. Thanks!"

"Great platform to organize home exchanges. Has all the need to have featueres and more and is very easy to use. The owner/developer is very client friendly, responsive and helpful."

"This home Exchange Community is truly Amazing! Such friendly founder and all the other community members are so eager to help out with any questions or problems you might have. I encourage my friends to join in and I am so excited about my two booked Exchanges for Nice and Mexico!"

"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."

"We have been exchanging for years, but first time we have arranged and exchange through the PLU website. Everything went smoothly, and navigation on the website is easy and without complications."

"A very warm and welcoming community."

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

"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!"

"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."

"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."

"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."

"A new platform quickly expending, friendly people, a very active director."

"People like Us is a great platform for home exchange."

"Good site with great people on it! This is still a smaller comunite to swap your house, because of that it feels more personal :)"

"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!"

"Très heureuse d'avoir pu finaliser mon premier échange avec PLU. Nous irons à Tours pendant que nos hôtes viendront à Annecy. Je suis sur 2 autres sites et impossible de trouver donc mille mercis PLU. -- Very happy to have been able to finalize my first exchange with PLU. We will go to Tours while our hosts will come to Annecy. A thousand thanks PLU."

"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!"

"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."

"We have been registered with People like us Home exchange for just over a month and already have organised our first successful exchange. Looking forward to seeing the world from the comfort of a new friend's home."

"I love the community and the sense of trust. This is the perfect place for those of us that believe there are good people in the world that also enjoy traveling and experiencing other people's cultures."

"A very niece community where everyone care way beyond just houses. An extended family basically!"

"The most welcoming home exchange site that I am a member of. Great community."

"Many amazing places available for swapping. With nice people are trusting and friendly. Actually it seems that People Like Us was set up by somebody who lives near us in a leafy part of Sydney. So it truely is "people like us"!"

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

"Amazingly well run website, fantastic feedback and help from the moderator(s) super friendly community! Only positive things to say!"

"I’m new to the platform but I’ve only had positive experiences so far while communicating with people and exploring the website."

"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."

"Easy and wonderful!"

"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."

"Already love PLU and looking forward to being able to travel again!"

"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 !"

"We had exchanged many times in a previous exchange program and were wildly supportive of it. When that program disintegrated, we learned of People Like Us. Wow! PLU has the benefits of the old program before the ownership change, but, in addition, has Drew, its dynamic leader. He has made a personal commitment to make this not only work financially, but work in the best interests of the members. Vicki and I are all in, both for the friendships we’ll make, and for the opportunity to share our bit of paradise with you."

"Very happy. I am a new member and I found quickly an exchange with Manhattan. It’s easy to communicate and to agree a proposal."

"People Like Us has an amazingly friendly and supportive Facebook Group and a great website to find and plan exchanges. The owner Drew is proactive with suggestions and changes, quick and timely with responses. “Tinkering round the edges” is ongoing, for the benefit of website efficiency and client satisfaction and ease of use of the system. Feedback is actively encouraged and frequently acted on, later if not straight away."
