MJ and Harry were amazing hosts! They were very welcoming from the moment I arrived in Seoul and were very flexible when it came to making schedules. The apartment is nice but small sometimes, but it's not a huge issue because you're not there a lot. I was able to learn so much about the culture and make new friends, and would definitely recommend this experience :)

Harry and MJ are lovely! They try very hard to give us the work schedule we want. We had a welcoming party and I felt very welcomed. When I got sick they also offered to take me to a doctor. I learned a lot about South Korea with the students at the café and got good recommendations about Korean music and webtoos. At the accommodation, some volunteers don't respect the cleaning chores and also eat more than their share off food. The aircon works well in the rooms.

This was my first experience with World Packers, and I highly recommend it for anyone new to this program! Harry and MJ are such nice people, helpful, and passionate about what they do. It was an invaluable experience to talk to the locals, and didn't feel like work. I learned so much more about Seoul, South Korea, and Korean culture than I could have any other way. I also made so many local friends, I can't wait to go back. The area that the apartment was in was very nice and safe, around many business towers and offices. The other volunteers they accepted were quality people as well.

I honestly had the best summer of my life while working at the studio. The hosts are really amazing and I was able to connect very well with the other volunteers. We were like a big family. :) I also had the opportunuity to hang out many times with the students outside of the studio which was a very enriching experience, espicailly for me that is learning korean. I will forever be grateful for this summer and genuinely recommend it to everybody!!

I really liked the voluntary work in Seoul. It is a great way to meet local Koreans and to learn more about their lives and the Korean culture. Harry is also really friendly and always willing to help. I didn't really like the coliving as a neighborhood to live in. But in 20 minutes or so by bus, you're in one of the other fun parts of Seoul. Unfortunately I could not stay the full three weeks. But If i'm ever in Seoul again, I'll be sure to hop by the café.

I had the best time at the language studio. It was my first working holiday, but Harry and MJ were very welcoming from the start and I adapted really quickly! The working hours are respected always and agreed beforehand, the hosts are always open to listen to your needs and adjust the schedule the best they can. The work itself is enjoyable, I met a lot of amazing people! I got very lucky with the group of volunteers, we became really close and I am really grateful for them! The apartment is very small, but everyone is out most of the time, so it is definitely livable. Recommended!

I had an amazing experience here! It was my first Worldpackers trip and I felt very welcomed and comfortable during my stay. Harry and MJ were very friendly hosts who helped create a great experience. I made many friends, both local and with the other volunteers. The job itself required a lot of talking with people so if you aren't social or are introverted it may be difficult to do this job. Otherwise everything else was an incredible experience and would recommend this place for anyone wanting to make lots of friends and explore the heart of Seoul!

From the beginning Harry was super helpful, attentive and kind, my first day in my arrival to Seoul I get lost, but Harry wait and helped everytime when I need it the most. The work is super cool and easy at least from my point of view. I met a lot of wonderful people and I had very good advices and recommendations from them, we shared good conversations, laugh and I really enjoy my time there, MJ and Harry always help you with everything you need and they also make the atmosphere there very nice and cool. The accommodation is enough to stay in Seoul enjoying the experience, my time there was.
