Hi, we're looking for interesting people to share a cultural exchange and experiences with us. You never know, we might both learn new skills! We are developing a low impact living experiment in the heart of town, with energy conservation, water conservation and growing our own food at its core. There are various tasks around the building and the grounds, from maintaining vegetable patches to reclaiming and upcycling old furniture. It's all very low tech! We like to share interesting cuisines too

Due to car trouble, Arta was only here for a few days, but during that brief time I was impressed by her dedication to work and her culinary skills. You are welcome back any time, Arta!

Dan is a sound and relaxed host with lots of things going on so there will always be stuff to do in his house and garden! He is very positive and cares about the comfort of his guests. The room is nice and private.
I was supposed to stay for a week but stayed only for 4 days because of different circumstances (nothing to do with him) and he was… read more

I loved my time in Swansea at Dan's quiet spot in the middle of the city. Dan was a very welcoming and thoughtful host, providing comfortable and warm room and often asking volunteers if they need anything. I especially enjoyed spending time in the garden, which was peaceful in the sun, and cooking with delicious butternut squash and rosemary from… read more

Marc's a great guy and it was a pleasure to host him for a couple of weeks. In terms of work, he was happy to spend most time rendering and doing a bit of plastering. He was good company, has excellent taste in music and a good cook too. A clean and tidy young man who actually enjoys washing up!

Kane spent 2-3 months with me doing lots of different jobs in the house and garden. He's a qualified painter & decorator, so his paintwork was excellent, but so were his other skills, such as bricklaying. We had interesting chats about spiritual topics, and I enjoyed his cooking (hope you enjoyed mine too, Kane!)

He was easy to get on with and we… read more

I spent 2 marvelous months with Dan, I was definitely not planning to stay so long in the very beginning but because he has been so kind and flexible, I liked the jobs he gave me, and I learned from it. Also the house is very close from the sea, so at any moment you can go by walk or borrow one bicycle for a longer tour. Dan is really fair and… read more

Tom and Emma are a really nice young couple from France, staying with me in Swansea for three weeks. It was their first Workaway, and it was a pleasure to host them.
