The Experience

I've been running a kind of cafe where Koreans and foreigners can meet up to learn about their own culture and experience while having a conversation in English. This cafe doesn't actually sell coffee or tea but we do provide them with a great chance to make local friends for those who are from all over the world. As we are a kind of language cafe, it is all spoken in English which means we need someone who can speak good English. Apply! :)

This was my first Worldpackers experience, and honestly, I couldn't have chosen a better place for my first volunteer program Kyla is very kind and welcoming, and I felt at home from day one. Communication was great, the work was fair, and the atmosphere was warm and friendly. I met amazing people, learned a lot, and made unforgettable memories. I highly recommend this host and I'm very grateful for making my first Worldpackers experience so special!

This was my first Worldpackers experience and I had a great time! Kayla is very attentive and helpful with any and all questions you have. Cheongju is a great base spot to stay in and do weekend trips to Seoul or Busan on your days off. I have made so many memories I’ll never forget here definitely recommend.

I had a great time at the project! This language studio is perfect for anyone who wants to connect with locals. Guests come from many different backgrounds and ages, from kids to older adults. You only work on weekday afternoons, so it's easy to plan weekend trips. Cheongju is a quiet and relaxed city, and the studio is located in the outskirts. It takes just 7 minutes by food to reach it from the accommodation. Kayla is a kind and friendly host, and I really enjoyed chatting with her before classes. She also provides plenty of food! I wish I could have stayed longer .. I truly felt at home here!

This was probably my best experience in Korea over all! Kayla is genuinely the best boss I've ever had and she makes work feel like home everyday. The work hours were perfectly fine and you could always talk to her when you needed off or to switch. The apartment was amazing (Especially for Korea) and the provided food was more than enough. From eggs, rice, yogurt, cereal bread ramen and more you will definitely not end hungry. Talking to the people in the studio was super interesting and a lot of fun! You will have people from all ages ♡ I will absolutely miss my time there ...😭
