Picture this, you're planning your next adventure, and your travel partner says they can't make it. Or you always travel solo but would find it easier to home exchange with another solo gal.
This PLU community allows like-minded women to find each other, connect and swap their homes all over the world.
In this era of interconnectedness and shared values, home exchange emerges as a perfect bridge for solo women travel enthusiasts. It allows for secure friendly home-based exploration, not just re-locating to impersonal hotels.
Whether you're dreaming of wandering through the historic streets of Europe, lounging on tropical beaches, or indulging in cultural experiences, you can be in the comfort and security of a real home away from home.
Start your home exchange experience with People Like Us by building up your listing. Add unlimited photos, describe your home and region, introduce your family, and include a profile picture.
At People Like Us, we offer four types of home exchange:
Simultaneous: The most common type, where you exchange homes with another member at the same time.
Non-Simultaneous: Exchange with another member at different times, providing flexibility in travel arrangements.
Non-Reciprocal: A one-way exchange, with exclusive use of another member's home. Most non-reciprocal exchanges use Globes, our unique token for non-reciprocal exchanges. A Globe is worth one stay at another member's place, with duration and location agreed upon by you and your exchange partner.
Hospitality: Experience staying at another member's place like an invited guest, using part of your host's home.
Explore your dream vacations with ease by sending enquiries through People Like Us. Our intuitive filters help you define desired destinations, dates, and home types. Introduce yourself, share your preferences, and contact multiple members in your desired region.

"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"
"We love the vibe of PLU! Friendly, accessbile, and trusting. We've exchanged via another site and we are looking forward to exchanging via PLU soon!"
"I thoroughly enjoy the sense of community and the friendly Facebook group and website. Drew has done a great job at creating a friendly place where travel dreams can come true. There's a whole world to discover! I'm delighted to say I'm building my exchange history now and it only makes me hungry for more. I'm so happy I discovered this style of travel."
"The most welcoming home exchange site that I am a member of. Great community."
"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!"
"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!"
"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."
"People like us is a great way to see the world, discovering something more. I recommend it!"
