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.

"PLU is an amazing home exchange organisation driven by trust, honesty and a deep desire not just travel but to get to know people in other places, especially those who have allowed us into their homes. PLU may be the newest exchange sites but it doesn't lack wisdom. It's founder - one of the nicest Australian humans you could wish to meet - listens to members; is constantly improving the functionality of the website, and loves meeting PLU members. A winning combination! I would highly recommend PLU. It doesn't matter if your home is a small flat, a smart apartment, a country mansion or a cottage by a lake. If you can make people feel welcome, new friends will come. Give it a try."
"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!"
"People like us is more than a home exchange website. It's a real community. The facebook site is very active and other active members really feels like your friend even though you never met them. We are here for each other, helping out when ever we can."
"I wish I had found out about PLU sooner! It has allowed me to not only dream of travel, but to actually experience 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."
"Just completed our first exchange and we are hooked! I had looked into it for years but never felt fully comfortable until connecting with members on PLU. We were excited to become Founding members as soon as the option was available! Its money well spent! We already recouped the expense of the 3 yr membership with our one exchange! We could have not found a hotel room for the night for what we spent. We are so thankful to Drew and all the wonderful people who have built this special community!"
"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."
"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."
"Discovering PLU has been such a wonderful experience for us. We love the community and exchanging has completely changed the way we think about travelling. With two small children and being restricted to school holidays, travel was previously so expensive and frustrating. We love arriving at a new exchange with all the home comforts and being able to explore somewhere new. We would urge anyone on the fence to jump right in, you won’t regret it."
People Like Us is the world's most trusted home exchange community.
