The Experience

Hello, this is a New stay-in hostel that started operating in September 2023. We are looking for volunteers to help us change linen and clean up our accommodation for about five days a week. We have one female dormitory, so we only accommodate female volunteers. The four volunteers who will join us will have a valuable experience of exchanging global culture with each other and living in Korea. Let's have fun together like a family!

Thank you.

I had a very good volunteering experience in the hostel. The work involved cleaning the hostel, instructions and feedback were always clear, so there were no misunderstandings. The tasks usually took 2–3 hours. The managers, Hara and Josh, were very friendly and helpful. They also organized a nice group dinner and a New Year's lunch, which was a lovely gesture. The living conditions were comfortable – a good bed, basic food products, free laundry, as well as a towel, slippers, shampoo, and body wash. The atmosphere among volunteers was amazing and we often spent evenings together. Thanks

I've never seen a Frenchman who is a fan of Sung Si-kyung! You should come back and sing his song at karaoke. I hope you really enjoy Busan and come back!
