"We absolutely love being part of the PLU community, with our only regret being that we don't have more time available to us to be able to really make the most of it. We've had some fantastic exchanges - both within our own country and on the other side of the world, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend PLU to anyone. People ask if it feels odd letting 'strangers' stay in our house, and the answer is a definite "no"! By the time a swap takes place, the exchangers aren't strangers, they're friends!"
"We've been home exchangers for many years, and came across PLU about 3 years ago. We immediately got the feel that it was a strong community - and that has proved to be the case. We've now done 4 exchanges - despite the challenges of Covid! Great site, easy to navigate, warm welcomes across the community and a growing membership - what's not to like!! ;-)"
"I have been so happy with the guidance given to me from Drew and his team. I’m now flying and ready to exchange … how exciting after the terrible time Of not traveling during the Covid pandemic."
"I write my testimony in Italian because unfortunately in Italy traveling by exchanging houses is still a little-known way of travelling, but believe me it is fantastic: you visit places you would never have visited, far from tourist destinations, you are guests in houses full of comforts, you meet people welcoming from all over the world and they often stay in contact with you over time, you save money and sometimes even exchanging the car is very convenient, there is always someone at your house to water your plants or feed your animal friends. Of all the communities I signed up for, this is undoubtedly the best, super organized and full of nice people!"
"Great site & network. We were with another home swap site for many years, but we are so impressed by PLU. So friendly, accessible & true to the sustainable ethos of the original home swap organisations"
"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!"
"PLU is the most friendly and engaged home exchange platform and community around. And growing SO fast! So glad to be a part of such a great, like-minded group."
"People Like Us is like belonging to an exclusive but friendly club. Drew, who created the website, is amazingly available for any help and advice, as is his team. Other members always seem to respond quickly and positively, even if they can't manage the exchange you might have in mind, they'll almost always try to help. Basically, it's for 'people like us' - adventurous, warm, outgoing travellers who like other people and are inclined to trust them. It's not for everyone, but if you like the idea of something new, something different and the chance to meet other like minded friends it's for you."
