Living like locals - that’s how we love to experience destinations around the world, and PeopleLikeUs is exactly that. Thank you for arranging opportunities for everyone to experience safe home exchanges.

We have used PLU for the last two years and have had incredible exchanges and belt friendships with so many of the members we look forward to many times of using PLU and also the pleasure of meeting Drew and kathi the owners
Guests treat homes like their own
The members on the platform are wonderful! We have done two exchanges and the guests have taken care of our house like it is their own! What a wonderful way to explore the world!
Live local and experience a different way of life
This is a great caring community for people who like to travel and live local in the homes of very generous home exchangers. It is a wonderful way to experience how other people live.
What a fab way to travel
What a fab way to travel. Love it. Get on People Like Us and arrange an exchange. So much to see.
Our 1st time arranging exchanges
Our 1st time arranging exchanges. We have a 6 weeks tour of Australia and New Zealand in the making. Have arranged both the beginning and the end very well. So far very happy.
I love the People Like Us Community
I love the People Like Us community- it’s more than just exchanging homes- our exchange partners often become our friends. Being a part of this community has allowed my family to travel and visit places we may have never even heard of. And the savings on lodging means we can stay away for longer periods of time.
Don't think about it - join PLU
We have completed a few exchanges before and PLU was recommended to us so I thought I would look into it. I felt the ethos of the company was brilliant and very people orientated. The website was very easy to navigate and also to set up our listing was plain sailing. Communication on the platform is so easy too. We have completed an exchange and are now looking forward to an exchange from Ireland to Australia in December 2025. I'm sure it is going to be just perfect! I think I will remain a member until forever more.
Just do it, you won’t regret it
I have met the most incredible people, stayed in the most unique spaces. I couldn’t imagine a better way to travel and build connections.
People like us is a human experience
People like us is so much more than a home exchange plateform. It gives the opportunity to meet and connect with people in a non transactional way.
Excellent!
Excellent platform - our family has thoroughly enjoyed hosting and being hosted, meeting new people, and exploring new places!
PLU is a wonderful community
PLU is a wonderful community: you have the opportunity to know wonderful places as a local. Most owners are nice people who care for your wellness while you visit their home, and they look after youy house as if it was theirs.
Open a world of travel with the comforts of home.
This platforms has great initiatives for swapping make exchanging easy and fun. It is will set up with good support people to assist with Web issues and the practicalities of home exchanging. The participants are the most respectful group I have ever come across on any fb group.
I love the concept of exchange with…
I love the concept of exchange with people around the world who share the same excitement about traveling. The fact that it's not all about money is something that makes this community special and humane. My family is big and sometimes I find it difficult to travel often because of huge costs. This way we get to know locals and expand our world. Love it :l
Easy system to use
Easy system to use, which led to a quick resolution on the exchange.
People Like Us is easy to use
People Like Us website is easy to use, and the community is friendly. I have just arranged an exchange in Bali for our place in Warburton.
Can't trust other members
Was asked by another member for a second weekend date regarding a simultaneous exchange after the member backed out of the first weekend date months before. I accepted the new date and planned my visit to their location by reserving restaurants and buying concert tickets. Three weeks before the exchange, I received a cancellation request from the member who gave what seems to be a short term medical problem as an excuse. I don't want to be strung along again.
