Volunteering in the cafe was really special and fun! We had to do 5 hours each day, and we had 2 days off. The apartment looked quite new and was comfortable. This experience allowed me to connect with a lot of Koreans and exchange differences between our cultures, teaching me so many things about Korean culture. It was really interesting to experience that, and I met amazing volunteers with whom I could exchange cultural differences too. I really recommend volunteering here since it is really fun, interesting and enriching, and you still have enough time to visit Seoul!

This was my first Worldpackers experience, and I truly couldn't have imagined a better one! The apartment was basic but cozy and close to the studio, with the basics provided, but what made my time truly special was the people - both fellow volunteers and locals I've been meeting during the exchange. Truly the best way to immerse myself in Seoul lifestyle.
