People Like Us

"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!"

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

"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!"

"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 !"

"Very friendly and easy to share our house with another family over the world. -- Un site vraiment convivial et chaleureux pour partager notre maison avec une autre famille partout dans le monde"

"I recommend PLU !!👍 Thanks a lot Drew."

"L'échange de maison est une formidable façon de voyager, à la fois très confortable et très proche des gens. PLU est une communauté de personnes avec les mêmes valeurs de partage de respect et d'envie de voyager et de découvrir !"

"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."

"We joined the site in 2019 and quickly organised our first swap with another dog-friendly household.The website is easy to use ( well done Drew) and everyone seems friendly and welcoming. No experience with other sites but this ticks all our boxes so far. We are looking forward to travelling further afield and can't wait for our rescheduled exchanges in Canada and France. Hoping to earn a Globe this year by offering our home when we are on a non-exchange staycation. We love it!"

"Love this group and its communitive. Everybody is friendly and helpful and so many people offers their help if somebody needs it. We have had wonderful exchanges trough this group and have found new friends for life. We recommend this group to everyone who knows are interested in home swapping. The founder Drew Seitam is doing an amazing job. The group just gets bigger and better each day."

"We have had a wonderful experience connecting with people all over the world. Because of someone reaching out to us for the sunshine we offer in December we get to spend Christmas right downtown Paris. How great is that?!! The platform is incredibly easy to use and such a true home exchange community. We love it!"

"Hay un gran espíritu de intercambio entre los miembros. Mucha amabilidad y cordialidad. Y Drew es genial. -- There is a great spirit of exchange among the members. Much kindness and cordiality. And Drew is great."

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

"People Like Us Home Exchange is the best home exchange community online. There is a dedicated founder and his team which provide a vivid, trustful community of home owners who are willing to give you the best holiday experience ever. We have exchanged with the help of other companies, but this company is far outstanding in their service. Privacy settings are excellent and questions are met in no time. We can highly recommend this company!"

"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."

"So happy with all the features..its working as things should work."

"I just schedule my first exchange and found it a very easy process."

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

"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."

"La communauté PLU est vraiment formidable : elle fait preuve de bienveillance, d'humour, de générosité (il y a beaucoup d'entre aide spontanée lorsqu'un membre est en difficulté)... tout cela sous l’œil attentif et amical du créateur du site Drew. Quelle chance de pouvoir faire partie de cette belle "famille" d'échangeurs !"

"I joined People Like Us in January 2019 and have been so impressed. I have a total of 8 exchanges in place over the next couple of years so even though the site is currently small compared to others, it works! The Facebook group of the same name is an invaluable asset too. It is a very active and friendly group and so makes it easy to form connections, which leads to even more exchange possibilities. The owner is very involved and proactive, always listens to ideas and suggestions and will act on them very quickly if they are of benefit to the site. A great experience on a wonderful platform. Can’t recommend it highly enough. ."

"I have been a part of this community for a little over a year now and my, how I love it! The people in the community are what make it so fantastic. It’s like a huge family, where all of us can share our experiences and accomplishments with one another and support each other during downfalls. When my home was facing a category 5 hurricane, I had over a dozen people offer their homes to me and my family. I love hearing about the adventures of other exchangers and gathering ideas and connecting with one another. This site has given thousands of people all over the world, a home away from home(or maybe even a few). What an amazing community!"

"Meget venligt og velfungerende system. -- Very friendly and well-functioning system."

"I have always wanted to home exchange and my husband was always reluctant. Then I found “People Like Us”. It is a community of people that are just like me! Adventurous, generous, flexible and eager to travel. I planned a trip to Ireland which I am on right now. Three separate exchanges traveling the Irish countryside. My trip and PLU have far exceeded my expectations. Bravo PLU!"

"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!"

"We have been exchanging homes for years and have had numerous wonderful experiences. To us home exchange offers the best of two worlds: Visiting new places combined with the cosiness of a real home instead of a hotel. We have visited areas that are less touristic and some of those are among our best holiday experiences."

"We are enjoying the difference this home exchange site offers, compared to another one we have used for many years. Members are genuinely interested in the home exchange experience. The site is easy to use. We have just locked in our first exchange and have two more under discussion."

"The best home exchange site out there."

"This is truly the most wonderful platform to exchange homes! We exchange since many years and find that the people and homes here, are just the nicest you can imagine. Especially, if you are an experienced exchanger, you can feel that the "real home exchange spirit" is alive here - with people sharing not only their homes, but also their friendliness and outstanding helpfulness. Love this "place" and can only highly recommend to be part of this extraordinary community."

"I am on at least 4 home exchange sites and People Like Us is the best! Friendly, communicative, with a great choice of homes in many countries and areally excellent personal service from Drew and his team. The swap system is simple and the response time if you need help and advice is very quick! Well done PLUkeep up the good work!"

"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)"

"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."

"PLU is a great home exchange site with opportunities to make friends across the world. We are from the UK and have completed an exchange with New Zealand and have had a family from Italy stay in our home. During covid, we have taken the opportunity to travel within the UK and have done, and are planning some great, more local swaps. Our experiences so far have been extremely positive. I would recommend PLU to anyone interested in travel. Not only is it a great way to travel sustainably and with less costs, it is an enjoyable way to connect with others from around the world. During covid, the PLU facebook page has come into it's own and i have treasured the connection with others. Through it i've seen pictures of wonderful places, learnt about culture, enjoyed learning about different foods etc. We have even had the opportunity to do zoom calls, one of which was a Spanish lesson! Please come and join 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’ve homeexchanged since 2004 and of all the homeexchange websites we have used PLU is be far the best! Fantastic customer service and the most friendly, positive and supportive community. Drew, who runs PLU, listens to all suggestions from members, answers all queries immediately, and consults all members before making changes to the website. PLU may not have as many listings yet as some of the big homeexchange sites (claim to have), but we’ve found it far easier to find exchanges here because people are more active and committed. Highly recommend!"

"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!"

"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."

"Great website. Yes, we'd definetly recommend this site to friends. PLU and home exchanging is such a wonderful way to travel....when we can!"

"Site très sympa, pour fair des échanges de maison en toute simplicité ! -- Very nice site, to make house exchanges with ease!"

"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 Homeexchange site with a soul. We will never travel differently again. We exchange our house since a long time and are so very happy to have found People like Us community and his founder Drew to be able to continue exchanging and meeting beautifully people."

"A fabulous site with help and advice freely given."

"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."

"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."

"I’m not new in exchanging my home, but only few months ago I knew People Like Us. In this time I have arranged one exchange, but many people contactes us! The site is easy to use and the web Master is always working to make it easier."

"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."

"Great service and community"

"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."

"Wonderful home swap group!"

"After having been on another home exchange website for a number of years, I signed up to People Like us earlier this year looking for a more active community. The first thing it hit me was how friendly the community was and how everyone seemed to understand the concept behind home exchange. It is not seen as free accommodation but as a community where you give something and get something in return; what that something is, it's up to the home exchange counterparts! From my experience, on other websites they keep member numbers up even if they haven't been active for a long time (which makes it difficult to arrange an actual exchange as you keep wasting your time sending messages which won't be answered), whereas on PLU all members are actually willing to exchange making arranging a trip much easier and offering a lot of options. I signed up and I had my first two exchanges arranged within the first two months! The best home exchange website for me from all points of view!"
