People Like Us

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

"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."

"A simple and friendly way to organise a home exchange."

"I believe that People Like Us is by far the best home exchange platform out there. The PLU members are the friendliest and most welcoming group of exchangers and the founder, Drew, has done an excellent job of creating an outstanding website and giving life to this beautiful world-wide community of people like us!!"

"Having been a long term exchanger with another site it was devastating when that site destroyed itself and I had nowhere to turn. However by chance I saw PLU and the rest is history (new). A wonderful site offering camaraderie as well as homes."

"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."

"What a helpful and friendly bunch. I love being part of this caring and friendly community."

"I'm new on People Like Us, but it's already my favorite home swap website and FB page because of how easy it is to use and how many great homes are listed. Highly recommended people to join the PLU family!"

"Wonderful home swap group!"

"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!"

"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 !"

"Trusting people you don't know with open access to your home could be too overwhelming for some. But, the very close bond enjoyed by PLU members, (primarily through the Facebook group and email communications), overcomes this fear by a real sense of belonging and commitment to respecting each other and our properties. The advice and encouragement shared by the group is amazing; led by the dedication of founder Drew Seitam to making it an exchange platform that meets the needs of members. I thoroughly recommend PLU to prospective home exchangers."

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

"A fabulous home exchange community – welcoming, openminded and supportive. The founder Drew takes excellent care of keeping the community's good vibe and is most responsive. Upcoming questions are met in no time. The site is easy to handle and – in contrast to many other homeexchange platforms – privacy settings are excellent. Come and join People Like Us!"

"The best home exchange site out there."

"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."

"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."

"I have been on other house-swap platforms before, but People Like Us is different. It's a real community of like minded people that know what exchanging means. The Facebook page where people exchange (freely, no censorship) tips, experiences and look for swaps is really a plus. And the technology, thanks to the owner, Drew Seitam, is working, user friendly and improving, in perpetual collaboration with the members (Drew really takes our suggestions into consideration). The platform is smaller then others, for sure, but I found it easier to find swaps here because people really try to make it work when they can. Highly recommended."

"It is the most friendly homeexchanging community in the world! We have been using homeexchange sites for almost 5 years and we still use other sites too. But since we became members of People like us we always start our search within its community as it has the highest answering rate and kindest people. People like us :)"

"Lots of wonderful homes listed, and a good and effective page, easy to search for homes and write to members. Very helpful Facebook page associated, with very friendly and kind members, who are eager to help in any way. Highly recommended Swap site!"

"People Like Us is a very special home exchange site. The owner, Drew Seitam, is an absolute gem; incredibly helpful, friendly and patient. The site seems to attract the cream of active home exchangers who understand that communication and a courteous approach to other members is the way to go. A comprehensive guide is included on the site, explaining to both newcomers and "old" hands how to put together listings which will be attractive to others. We've been exchanging for 19 years, are most impressed with PLU and have just organised a fabulous swap in the South of France through the site. So if you've been thinking about trying home exchanging, don't hesitate, take the plunge and join People Like Us."

"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."

"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."

"PLU is the home exchange site with a great community feeling. This is home-exchanging in it's purest way. Home exchanging is about trust and PLU provides and deserves it."

"People Like Us worked for us! We had a lot of discourse between our exchange partners and were aided by Drew, the owner, on how to finally write a proposal that would please both of us. We are participating in three home exchanges from Provence to Croatia and love People Like Us!"

"Love PLU!!! Keep it up Drew!!! I look forward to many more exciting exchanges!"

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

"Very nice and trustworthy platform. Great personal approach by the owner and creator. Members seem very dedicated to the true spirit of home exchanging."

"People Like Us is a very friendly community. The exchange process is easy and the layout of the website is very user friendly. Kudos to PLU!"

"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 already love the new PLU because it is the most friendly community in the world. Being French we haven't been able to exchange yet because of Covid but hope to travel again soon!"

"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:)"

"Nous avons effectué plus de 40 échanges au travers de différentes plateformes spécialisées et affirmons que People Like Us, non seulement est un outil extrêmement efficace pour choisir des partenaires dans pratiquement tous les pays du monde, mais People Like Us est aussi une Communauté de personnes qui ont en commun le même sens du partage et de l'amitié. Nous vous invitons à nous rejoindre au sein de cette merveilleuse communauté et de goûter au plaisir de l'échange. Marc & Elena (Espagne)"

"This was not only our first exchange on PLU, but our first home exchange ever. From this experience, I can honestly say our expectations were surpassed; we were thrilled with the opportunity and delighted to have met new friends. What an incredible community of like-minded, worldly, kind, and generous people that Drew has built. We look forward to years of travel with our children. Thank you Drew for all your efforts, your commitment to life experiences, and your love of people and travel."

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

"Great support, wonderful community, very friendly vibe. »Back to the roots« internet platform, where it's about true community and not about stealing your data and pleasing the shareholders. Great experience."

"Geweldige website. We kijken er naar uit om de eerste ruil via dit platform te organiseren."

"We have been home exchanging for over 15 years and have belonged to two other organisations both which we have had some great exchanges through. However, neither offered the community and personal touches which Drew Seitam does on People Like Us. The community he has created is unique and I am so delighted to have arranged my first exchange though PLU. I know this is going to be one of the best and one of many exchanges through PLU."

"I love everything about People Like Us. Drew has done the most wonderful job in creating this group. People are friendly, kind and helpful. Houses are exciting, stories shared by new friends so nice it really feels like family."

"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!"

"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!"

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

"Excellent site ! I recommend 100 % !"

"I accidentally stumbled onto People Like Us through Facebook and decided to find out what this group was about. Though we are avid travellers the concept of home exchange was new to us. From reading the warm and friendly posts on Facebook this gave us confidence to become involved with excellent timing as we were about to embark on an epic 3 month trip through Europe. Thanks to PLU we were able to successfully engage in 3 exchanges in Croatia, Sweden and Denmark, with our Croatian hosts actually arriving in our Sydney home tomorrow night to complete the exchange! The community in PLU is full of friendship, generosity, kindness, trust and respect and I feel so grateful to be part of this amazing community. I highly recommend other like minded people to share in this amazing journey - it is truly the best way to travel!"

"So far so good ! Meeting wonderful new people and finding out about a new way to share the world and make Connections ."

"Awesome community, awesome homes! I can't wait to see how it will grow in the future. I have done 3 exchanges via People like us so far and they have been great and very positive experiences. Keep up the good work!"

"People Like Us is a friendly community led by the irrepressible Drew Seitam who really listens to the community and has developed the platform in a way that reflects the ethos of true home exchanges -- respect and trust."

"An excellent site and a great concept. Highly recommended."

"People like us have been a dream to deal with Very nice people and a wonderful creative team!"

"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."
