Staying Safe on Swap

Swap connects you with real people for genuine cultural exchange. The vast majority of meetings are warm and rewarding — these simple habits help keep every swap safe and comfortable.

Meet in public, in daylight

Choose a busy café, hotel lobby, mall, or well-known landmark for your first meeting. Avoid private homes or isolated spots until you know someone.

Tell someone your plans

Let a friend or family member know who you're meeting, where, and when. Share the guide or traveler's name and your expected timing.

Keep first contact on the day

Arrange the exact meeting point and time shortly before you meet, and agree how you'll recognise each other.

Trust your instincts

If something feels off, you're never obliged to continue. It's completely fine to leave, reschedule, or cancel.

Protect your personal info

Share only what you need to meet up. Be cautious about giving out your home address or financial details.

Money stays off-platform — and optional

Swap is about non-monetary exchange. Never feel pressured to pay for anything, and be wary of anyone who asks you to.

Report anything concerning

If someone behaves inappropriately, report them from your My Trips page. Reports are private and reviewed by our team, and we can block users who break the rules.

If you ever feel unsafe in the moment, prioritise your safety and contact local emergency services. For anything else, reach us at info@teqbooster.net.
