My experience at GlocalTown has been exactly what I hoped for and even beyond my expectations. Ari, Grace and suheon are incredibly hospitable,energetic, open-minded and inspiring to be around.They tried their best to show me the local life and authentic Korean culture even though they are super busy. My main work is filming and editing videos. Ari gave me great and clear guidance but also enough freedom to do things my own way. The accommodation they provided is also very cozy, simple but well equipped with kitchenware. It's been such a wonderful experience and I strongly recommend!!

Ari and the team the project are awesome! I spent a 1 week and a half with them and they welcomed me with big smiles on their faces. They are very generous and honestly I learned a lot more about Korean culture and the language here and nowhere else. And as a bonus, we have a house only for internationals very clean, the chance to meet other foreigners and to have mega flexible hours :))
Merciii to the project for everything!
