I am so grateful for Vin, the volunteers and the students at Hasta English the host. Vin has made such a warm and inclusive atmosphere at the studio. The volunteers felt like family and the students were sharing their thoughts and opinions to the best of one's ability. I had so much fun talking with the students, so it didn't feel like work at all. We had from 1 to 3 conversations each evening/ Saturday afternoon and 2 days off every week. Vin is the best host I have ever met. He did everything he could to ensure that we volunteers were well taken care of at all times.

Hi Julie!
I know you must be quite busy while traveling in China, so thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review.
I also want to express my gratitude once again for everything you both did at my place and the studio.
I find myself missing you two already—I keep thinking about you—which makes me realize that I simply must visit Norway someday to see you and Kirsten again! :)

It was an amazing experience staying the host! The Host is very caring and will always help the volunteers in any way possible. Beautiful accomodation and Language studio. Best way to help others improve with their English skills and getting to meet new friends while having fun together in a conversation is truly amazing! Come to the host during your trip to Korea, it's very chill and not too far from Seoul the host!

I am really grateful I had the opportunity to volunteer for Hasta English the host. Vin is highly intelligent, engaged and very positive. He is very responsive to any volunteer needs and runs an excellent business with the host. He is a top notch host. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the students and the other volunteers I lived and worked with. the host is not a tourist destination but is an extremely vibrant the host the Seoul metro area. I would say it is very underated. I really grew to love the area and all it has to offer travelers. This was a 5 star experience I hope to return to.

I had a fantastic stay the host. A big part of that was because of Vin, who is a wonderful, friendly and supportive host. He makes everyone feel welcome and included, and I felt that I could rely on him for anything. The work is easy, and the accommodation is very close to the studio. All in all, a very chill stay. Thank you Vin ! I'll be back !

Because our parting was so sudden, I feel like I didnt get a proper chance to say goodbye.

I'm leaving with the biggest smile and so much gratitude! My time at Hasta Studio was a beautiful part of my trip to Korea, and I'm very happy I had the chance to be part of it. Vin takes great care of everyone, which really makes a difference. It's such a warm and welcoming place. The students were lovely, and I loved sharing conversations, laughter, and little pieces of our lives with each other. I'll treasure these memories and would happily come back someday.

Vin is a wonderful person; he provides every comfort for volunteers and truly cares about you—I don't think I could find another host like him. The program itself is highly systematic and professional; everything is well-organized, so you certainly won't face any difficulties. I would recommend this without hesitation to anyone coming to Korea; I had a perfect month.

What an incredible experience! I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to work at Vin's studio. He is an incredible, very kind and thoughtful person, who made me feel more than welcome. I also became good friends with the other volunteers and students! It was a great opportunity to learn more about Korea. The accomodation is great and very comfortable, and food provided is plenty! Only 50mins by public transport from central Seoul and very well located the host. 45 days flew by… I would love to come back one day! ❤️

I came into a place where the host is the kindest person I've met. We all got along very quickly, we became a family. And Vin was a huge part of making that happen 🙏🏼 I was looking for something meaningful to do while traveling, and when synchronicity hits, it hits hard ! Located the host, there is a small and cute English studio, where Koreans seek for an opportunity to learn and grow their language and confidence. For me, as a person who just love talking and learning about culture, I have found this experience to be super meaningful and wonderful to be a part of !

Hasta studio and working with Vin and the rest of the volunteers was the best possible experience I could have asked for. The hours and the tasks were just just as described and the students were all delightful to talk to. The accommodation is fully equipped, so close to the studio and Vin was always in our corner for everything we needed both for the apartment and the studio. You also learn so much while talking and helping the students improve. Lifelong memories were made and I’d recommend that to everyone since it was one of the most precious parts of my trip to Korea!

Myrto, it’s a shame our time together was so short.
I feel like I should have treated you better while you were here.
Please stay healthy and happy until the day we meet again!
Our family will always miss you! :)
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 :)
