Everything was as agreed. The people at the reception are kind and friendly. I loved working there. The work is done in shifts, so it doesn't get tiring. And the days off are chosen through games, so there are no fights, very cool. I stayed for 30 days, but it felt like it was only 1 week because it went by so quickly. The only negative point is the vacuum cleaner, which is very heavy and old and barely picks up the dirt. But I highly recommend staying here.

😄The best volunteer experience ever!!! 💗Thx, Rei! 💗
I remember that the first day I came here, my roommate said people always said they would only stay here one month, then add to two months and even more, or go back the following year; then, I wondered: am I going to be like this? Yeah, it's true! I don't want to leave here🥹, Pity. I already have a schedule.
🐱Rei is the best !!🐱Won is kind! And All the people here are friendly! Sure, you can get along well with them!
The location is so convenient that you can get whatever you want from here; by the way, here is the center of Busan.👍

I’m diving into my first work exchange in South Korea, and it’s been incredible! Everyone here looks out for one another, and the vibes are just so lovely. The place feels super safe and is a blast to be in! Four weeks is definitely not enough—I wish I could stay longer! Huge thanks to all the staff, especially Rei, for making this adventure possible!
