This was my first worldpackers experience and it is definitely a good place to start! You get a safe network with the other volunteers and you also have the opportunity to get to know the guests at the hostel. I was never confused about my tasks so the work was pretty straight forward. Shrek and his wife saebyeog were very welcoming, giving suggestions on things to do and took care of their volunteers❤️ Thank you so much for having me and hopefully see you soon!!

Shrek is a really nice guy and his wife Saebyok was like a 2nd mom to me. I stayed for 2 months instead of 3 because I wanted to visit Japan and Shrek was really flexible. All the ingredients for cooking are provided so if you want to go really budget you can. If you don't know how to cook they have instant ramens or one of the other 8 volunteers will know how to cook😂 Also it says 4 hours of working time on the profile but during my stay in winter for 2 months straight I didn't have to work 4 hours a single day, we were always finished earlier. If you have any other questions, dm me

I stayed four months at the guest house and truly loved it here! Shrek and all the others loving members of the team made me feel so welcomed. I would recommend to everyone to stay here! The work is easy & you still have plenty of time to explore South Korea. At the guesthouse you can easily meet new people, apart from the other staff members. The location is great to go wherever and you will never be bored 🥳 thank you for everything 💖
