Playing an instrument, baking bread, fixing a dripping tap, growing tomatoes, getting started with yoga: most of what we love doing, someone once showed us. Skill x Swap makes it easy to pass that on and pick up something new in return.

These are skills in our catalogue — whether a member currently offers a particular one varies. If yours isn’t listed, you can add it when you join.
How exchanging these skills works
Swap a hobby for a hobby, or learn one-way. Two-way reciprocal swaps are free. One-way learning uses 1 credit, and the teacher earns it only after both members confirm the session is complete. You choose whether to meet online or in person and agree arrangements that suit you both.
