Swansea Homestay

The end of an era...

9 years ago I set up Swansea Homestay, and what followed was a huge adventure. We have had the privilege to work with hundreds of local host families and together we were able to place over 2000 international students in homestay!

Arranging placements for Gower College, Swansea University, SBUHB, City School of Languages, and Swansea College, as well as the huge number of direct applications from worldwide students, have all been a joy to do.

Thank you for the memories Swansea! Speaking of memories, if you have a lovely memory or photo (either as host, guest, or education partner) that you would be happy to share then please do leave it in a comment below - it would be a special way to re-remember the years!

Thank you one and all!
