Accommodation

EcoSwell's beach-house offers shared bedrooms and bathrooms (depending on how many volunteers are around). Access to a fully equipped kitchen and outdoor areas to socialise and relax. Projects may be in rural areas, so while the accommodation offers clean water, electricity & internet, there can sometimes be outages.

Experience overview

Days start with an optional morning swim, surf or walk before breakfast! Interns work on their projects until 5pm, after which is free time for exploring. You can view an example of an itinerary here.
