Looking for mates, dates or just someone who understands why you've moved 10,000 miles from home but still get irrationally excited when someone mentions a proper Sunday roast?
Swanned brings together Brits & Irish living in Brisbane, so you can meet people who get the banter, the homesickness, the questionable drinking decisions and why "just one pint" has never actually meant one pint.
Because Aussies are lovely. But sometimes you just need someone who knows what you mean when you say "I'm absolutely hanging."
You shouldn't have to explain what a Greggs is on a first date. Or why you're irrationally excited when someone mentions Wetherspoons. Or why "yeah, no worries" sounds suspiciously like they're actually quite annoyed. Swanned connects you with Brits & Irish in Brisbane who already speak your language. Literally
Whether you've just landed, been here for ten years or are still telling everyone you'll "probably move home next year"…There are loads of Brits & Irish around Brisbane doing exactly the same thing. Find someone for drinks in Fortitude Valley, a sunny afternoon in South Bank, a beach day down the coast or a weekend escape to the Gold Coast.
Not every connection needs to start with "So, what are you looking for?" Maybe you want a mate to explore Brisbane with. Maybe you just want someone to go for drinks with who understands that "I'll have one" is an objectively ridiculous thing to say. Choose Mates or Dates and see where it goes.
There's something brilliant about meeting someone from home when you're on the other side of the world. You can bond over Love Island, roast dinners, terrible British weather, childhood TV, and the fact that you still haven't decided whether you actually like Vegemite.
Drinks in Fortitude Valley? A Sunday session in West End? A picnic in South Bank? A beach day at the Gold Coast? A weekend in the hinterland? Or a casual drink that somehow becomes dinner, another drink and a very questionable Uber home? Find people who are up for it. Because Brisbane is bloody good. It's just even better when you've got people to enjoy it with.

“I can’t recommend Swanned enough! Almost two years ago, my girlfriend and I met through the site, and we’re now happier than ever. Being so far away from home, it’s amazing to have a place where you can meet people from the same country and instantly have that shared connection and understanding. We’re so grateful that Swanned brought us together, and we’ll always have the app to thank for our story!”
Denis & Cathy
"I just wanted to write an email as my way of saying thank you for creating such an easy app to use and that you are changing people's lives for the better and although this is a business I am sure you will never be able to fully comprehend the love that Swanned helps bring into the world and the countless relationships and friendships that it has helped build"

"Guys, I owe you big time. Met my boyf on this app. 5 years today this week. Thank you so much. I hope it gives others hope too. He's Irish and so am I - we have moved back home and bought a house together."
Laura
Unlike other apps, people’s intentions are clear from the start so you don’t fall in love with someone who's about to move back home.
