People Like Us

"A life changing website! Amazing community and opportunities. People Like Us has changed the way my family travels, and introduced me to lifelong friends. The globe system is a favourite feature of mine. Highly recommend!"

"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:)"

"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."

"Whoo hoo! Just booked my first home exchange through PLU! The founder, Drew, has done a fantastic job in creating a space where a diverse international community can come together and share our love of travel. There is a huge sense of community here that isn't found on other exchange sites. Check out the Feed and PLU's Facebook group for fun posts and discussions. Drew is an upstanding individual! He is so nice and helpful whenever I reach out to him with any concerns or questions. He really listens to his members. Give PLU a try. You won't regret it!"

"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."

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

"Il sito è fatto bene, velocemente si possono contattare le persone per proporre lo scambio, le persone iscritte sono cordiali e aperte, si ritrova lo spirito giusto per affidarsi a delle persone serie e motivate."

"Easy and wonderful!"

"People Like Us has an amazingly friendly and supportive Facebook Group and a great website to find and plan exchanges. The owner Drew is proactive with suggestions and changes, quick and timely with responses. “Tinkering round the edges” is ongoing, for the benefit of website efficiency and client satisfaction and ease of use of the system. Feedback is actively encouraged and frequently acted on, later if not straight away."

"People Like Us is a very personable home exchange web site. Newly created and very much a small business approach to the concept. Virtually all the major home exchange web sites have turned professional and increased charges accordingly. Like real estate MLS sites, these web sites provide a marketplace for people to meet and negotiate exchanges; none of which they own or manage. Nice to see someone trying to keep costs (and profits) low."

"Très heureuse d'avoir pu finaliser mon premier échange avec PLU. Nous irons à Tours pendant que nos hôtes viendront à Annecy. Je suis sur 2 autres sites et impossible de trouver donc mille mercis PLU. -- Very happy to have been able to finalize my first exchange with PLU. We will go to Tours while our hosts will come to Annecy. A thousand thanks PLU."

"People Like Us is an amazing platform with warm, open minded and hearted people. The platform is lead by a very kind man who is open to ideas and really listens to the platform users. Therefore it is more like a community than a basic platform. We have had several exchanges through People Like Us who have all been wonderful. We have made friends for life here and I am very glad to be a part of this great platform. I would recommended it anyone!"

"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."

"Wonderful community and well managed by Drew Seitam, who listens at the members and take care of their needs."

"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!"

"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 !"

"Site qui porte très bien son nom... basé sur le respect et la confiance. Je ne peux que recommander car c'est le site de mon premier merveilleux échange. Merci à Drew pour le temps qu'il passe afin de toujours améliorer ce site."

"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 !"

"Excellent site ! I recommend 100 % !"

"Already love PLU and looking forward to being able to travel again!"

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

"I've been swapping homes for quite a few years now and it has become for me the only way to travel (I've done over 40 to date). The financial advantages are obvious but there are so many other reasons why it really is the best way to experience another country, another city, another culture. Staying in someone's home, in their community, is a very enriching experience. I can honestly say the 'community' which People Like Us has gathered is a friendly, honest and trustworthy one. I find the members to be like-minded people who just want to share their homes in return for a stay in mine. It's a simple, easy, win-win exchange."

"Un site où règne un véritable esprit d'échange. -- A site where you get a real exchange spirit."

"Old school home exchange, many friendly exchangers, beautiful homes. Very recommended!"

"Great home exchange site, nice community, great owner, clear and well working platform growing in members. Highly recommended to join."

"Love the PLU website! Very easy to use even on a mobile. Very interactive!"

"We love PLU! It is our first home exchanging experience and we have felt so warmly welcomed by the PLU community. There is such an atmosphere of camaraderie and shared experience that you just want to really connect with everyone. The site has been well designed and easy to use. We foresee many happy exchanges to come."

"People like us - We ♡ it! People like us - This means trust, friendship and respect. All this, we found on this website. We are swapping our home in Germany with people from all over the world and just had recently our first great experience with people from Alaska. The website is easy to use, trustworthy and the owner does a fantastic job. The community and Facebook group is the friendliest and open minded homeexchange group I've ever been. We can't wait to share our home again."

"People Like Us is making it possible for my family to spend the month of July in Denmark this year. It is very easy to get your house posted on the site with all the needed information. The site also has a great search tool to help you narrow down your search and help you find families to possibly exchange with. Making and excepting a proposal through the site was easy as well. It’s all very clear and laid out nicely. We are so glad we found this site and can’t wait to start exploring the world!"

"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!"

"This is my first use of the Globe system and it really was so helpful in this instance. I had had an exchange offered during January on a different site. They then cancelled at short notice, due to ill health. The Globe then came into play when I saw a blog who was offering accommodation ,non reciprocal. It meant we could go ahead with our plans. Thank you!"

"While we are experienced home exchangers, this is our first exchange finalized on the People Like Us platform. We have been members for about two years and love both the website and the community behind it. The website is intuitive to use and offers all of the facts and photos you need to make an informed decision. This community is made up of kind and welcoming people who are serious about home exchanging and willing to put their own properties out there. The site owner solicits feedback from members before making any major changes that would have an impact on the community. We love exchanging here, and it is the only site on which we feel enough trust and confidence to exchange."

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

"Magnifique, Un site avec des gens comme nous, comme son nom indique. Inscription gratuite, deux semaines après 2 échanges pour notre voyage prévu en Australie. Excellent"

"I find this group to be so friendly and helpful offering such wonderful exchanges around the world. It's a terrific way to travel and meet wonderful new friends as well!"

"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."

"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!"

"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."

"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 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."

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

"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."

"Very friendly community! A great experience which generate friendships and unforgettable trips."

"I don't often take the time to write reviews, but PEOPLE LIKE US (PLU) is awesome! The management is friendly and accessible and has cultivated a kind culture that I'm glad to be part of and I enjoy participating. I highly recommend PLU and will continue to list my homes and enjoy travel without paying lodging fees. Thank you Drew & Team PLU!"

"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."

"This relatively new website is very easy to use and has many features I like including the ability to put captions on photos. I like that it really is "folks like us" and not people renting out spaces commercially. This is much more friendly and approachable. Polly"

"Great site, great people, beautifully managed."

"Best échange site ever. I have met so many nice people that I never would have met if it’s wasn’t for People Like Us. I can highly recommend this site."

"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."
