Holidays just became affordable!

Have you often found yourself flicking through images of faraway places and thought you’d never get the opportunity to get there because of either the cost, accommodation requirements, or logistics? Well, this could be the perfect solution that offers a range of choices when it comes to family travel.


Sydney based founder Drew Seitam was considering his travel options, that had to sit within a budget and would suit the whole family. This can be tricky, not mention costly when considering an extended family or travelling with young kids. He then came across the concept of home exchange.

He set up website People Like Us to do just that – attract like-minded folk who were searching for ways to discover the world but wanted something to fit right into their family framework.  People Like Us offers a unique cultural travel experience that goes well beyond just checking into a hotel.

Now, with literally thousands of properties scattered over nearly 80 countries, People Like Us invites you to click onto the website, register your home – for free – yes, nothing to pay – and immediately start swapping with a family in a destination of your choice. From Italy to Bali, the USA to the UK, the choices are vast! The best part is the exchanges don’t have to be simultaneous, as you can “save up” your exchange nights.

Home exchange provides benefits similar to your own home, but in a different environment. In other words, you choose the priorities that suit your family, in a location that you would like to experience. No need to deal with expensive, stuffy hotel restaurants, restricted space or noise limitations! Here’s a chance to live like a local, gain a unique insight into another culture and please the entire family, without the cost of accommodation.

Just sign up at  www.peoplelikeus.world  Registration is free, and you can start swapping immediately. It’s just the choosing from hundreds of tempting and diverse destinations, that becomes the hardest part of the process.



Quote from a People Like Us member:

Angelica Kajiwara from Leesberg VA USA.  1/3/19

We joined People Like Us to exchange homes with like-minded families. We travel a lot since I'm a travel writer for Toddlin' Across America, and we struggle to find places that feel like a home away from home.

People Like Us offers family-friendly homes that often have amenities for our toddlers other places just can't offer.  We all sleep and eat better, so we can get the most out of our vacation.

We love that we're leaving our home in the hands of another travel-loving family.  It makes me so happy to see them adventuring around our hometown.
