The Experience

Hi travelers I am Kaze. who fall in love with travel. yes, I am one of you guys. I made a place for backpackers in Gyeong-Ju in South Korea. Name is Doobaki. Gyeong-Ju is historic city where calm and cozy , peaceful place. I rode my motorcycle around this small planet. At that time, I thought of making a hostel where all travelers relax like home. And I did it.I can't handle this alone.Come to my house and let's make a nice and beautiful place .

The best experience I have ever had, Kaze is the best, I was able to meet a lot of new people from all over the world, the schedule is flexible and you can go and visit a lot of beautiful places around Gyeongju, the staff members are the best, It is like a family and always tried to make me feel like that and teached me everything about the work here. If you are searching for the best volunteer place this is the one! I will come back for sure.

My experience at the hostel was such a great one! I stayed for about a month and half, but it felt too short when the time to leave came. Every member of the team got along very well, and Kaze was also very nice. The work is not complicated at all, though it can be a bit tiring sometimes, but the team is big enough that most of your week is free to explore the city and its many historical sites. The configuration of the guesthouse makes it easy to meet the guests to drink, play or talk together. You will definitely make many meaningful encounters and have a great time, don't hesitate to apply!

This hostel is really great. I was welcomed as a part of a family everyone was really nice and supportive. Kaze is an amazing host and as a person very inspiring, he always cares about you and makes sure that you feel comfortable. He is very busy most of the time but if you ask him for support or want to talk to him he is always gonna take time for you. The work hours are respected and you are provided with basic food. It was my first worldpackers experience and i couldn't be more thankful for all my experiences and coworkers but most of all kaze. Thank you very much for everything.
