This was my very first Worldpackers experience, and it absolutely raised the bar for all my future journeys 🥹. I met incredible fellow travelers and local the coliving, enjoyed various facets of the city, and also had time to explore the surrounding nature. The work itself was fun and meaningful, taking only a few hours in my workday. Two weeks felt too short, but it was more than lovely! I really hope there's a chance to see Russell and all the wonderful people again in the future ❤️. Thanks once more for the beautiful memories!

It was my first time in Korea and my first time volunteering abroad and applying to this opportunity in Daejeon was the best decision ever. Russel is a very kind person, he takes care of everything and is always here to help. Daejeon is an amazing city full of cool things to do but more peaceful than Seoul, and you can visit other cities easily because it's well located. The korean students at the Studio were all very nice and interesting to talk to and the others volunteers were amazing people and I've made precious memories thanks to them. I would love to come back again !

Oh. My. Gosh. I absolutely loved my time at the studio and I'm in love with Daejeon! My favourite city I've ever been to. Feels like home and I made so many incredible the coliving during the sessions and especially at the accommodation. Also, what a great place to stay! The apartment has so much food and very comfortable. I'll definitely be back. And thank you Russell for helping me while I was unwell. I appreciate all the care you've put into this experience for us 🙏🏻

I feel like Russell did a great job of welcoming everyone and making sure we were all comfortable. Honestly, my time in Daejeon felt too short and I would love to go again sometime!!!

I think this volunteering experience is perfect for people who are expecting to get along with locals and meet lots of international travelers. The accomodation is just fine, but it may be too crowded sometimes. It just has 1 bathroom and the kitchen and dining room are too narrow for more that 5 people (which, most of the time there are more than 7). The accommodation's location it's pretty convenient, and Daejeon is actually a pretty big city, it is also peaceful and not too crowded. Daejeon's location is also convenient if you want to travel to other places in Korea by train or bus.

This was my first ever volunteering experience, and I cannot wait to come back next year! Russell is amazing, he was always making sure we had whatever we needed and taking care of us. The team was fantastic at the language school which is really close, and the students are very friendly and easy going. Daejeon is a great place to stay with many activities to offer, you can easily get to Seoul, Busan etc on ktx or bus. I was extremely lucky with my roommates, but I can tell why everyone in the past had a great time at the dorm. Get ready to make lifelong the coliving here !!

I had a nice time at the language studio! The Koreans who go to the studio are really fun people to talk to and their English is good! The other volunteers were also nice. The studio and the apartment are near each other and there are plenty of things to do in the area. I recommend taking the path along the river when going between the studio and the apartment!

I had so much fun here in Daejeon. The work was pretty easy, and Russel was so kind, always making sure we were comfortable! We worked 4 hours a day and could choose the days we worked, so it was really nice! The students were super sweet and very welcoming. If you come here, I recommend going to Dunsan-dong! It's about 10-15 minutes away from the accommodation, and there are lots of clubs, arcades, pubs, etc. Overall, my experience was lovely, and I would definitely stay here again!

My experience in the language studio at Daejeon was amazing! I really enjoyed talking with the students and learning from them. Russell is always making sure that you're having a good time and when the first day you arrive he tells you that you're not a volunteer, but his friend, he really means it. I only wish I could have stayed longer!
P.S. Daejeon is not a boring city at all, there are plenty of things to do despite what some people might say! :D

I spent two weeks at this volunteer program and it was an amazing experience. The English conversations were fun and meaningful, and I met some really great people. The host was very kind, always helpful, and even bought food for the apartment every week, which we really appreciated.
The other volunteers were also wonderful, friendly, supportive, and great to be around.
Overall, everything was perfect. I’d definitely recommend this place and would happily come back again!

Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
