I could've never imagined I'd make so many friends from around the world and of course from Korea. The work itself of talking to people for up to 4 hours straight can get really tiring, but sometimes you have lighter loads or you really enjoy the conversation with the person so time flies by. The accommodation is pretty small and dirty but it wasn't the absolute WORST. Don't let your anxiety get ahold of you and stop you from experiencing this wonderful program. Also, I did 3 weeks but I felt like I truly could've stayed up to 6 weeks, but you decide what is best for your capacity & schedule!

It's my first experience at worldpackers and I had a really great time. Food supplies are delivered every week and shift preferences are accepted. Dorm is shared with 9 other ppl and it can be a little inconvenient at times since the doors aren't very soundproofed, but overall it's decant. Cleanliness basically just depends on everyone in the house. The working part is also pretty nice cuz u get to talk to a lot of locals and make friends with them. It's also easy to make friends with other volunteers, everyone is so nice

This was my first volunteer work and I absolutely loved it. Seoul is such a great city and people are extremely welcoming. Communication was easy with the studio and the permanent workers are really easy to get along with. I made some great friends and would recommend this experience to anyone who's social and interested in learning about Korean culture. The clients too are really nice and open to making friends. I loved my entire experience there ❤️

My experience here was amazing! Rudy, MJ, Mr.Kim all super nice, as well as the volunteers! Rudy took real good care of us so please show him some love even though he may appear serious and shy😂 they give us food once a week and the work is sometimes very light but sometimes very busy so it just depends on the day. Overall I had the best experience, a very positive atmosphere and I met so many friends both with the locals and the volunteers so I would recommend everyone to apply even if you're in doubt! Thank you 랭스영!!💜

One of the best experiences I've ever had! I was there for 1,5 months and it was really cool! I made so much friends that I can't tell. Work at the studio allows you to meet a lot of Koreans and all of them are great! The work was amazing and it doesn't feel is a work at all! It feels that you're talking with a friend all the time and I totally recommend it. The place is also good, we had two rooms but only one bathroom so sometimes it was hard but respecting everyone and talking you can adjust everything and keep the cleaning of the place! We're also provided with food and is helpful.

This experience exceeded my expectations. The classes are great and dynamic if you make it that way.Some students are shy but you just have find a topic they are passionate about and they will talk no problem. Mr Kim and MJ were really welcoming and made everybody feel good. Roody is soo kind and caring he always makes sure we are happy with the schedule and goes far an beyond for the volunteers❤️❤️ The appartment is tiny but it was good for me. If you don't like sharing space with others then better go to a hotel instead of complaining all the time 🤣 I made friends for life here, greatful🥰

The volunteering was great I felt very welcome and got integrated quickly. The work is easy and depending on the people I had some boring/repeating conversations but also very interesting/fun ones and many nice recommendations. The communication with the team was good and our wishes for the schedule and shift changes were mostly fulfilled. All of the 3 managers are very nice. The only down side was the timing of the shifts especially the afternoon one. It feels like the day is gone and the short breaks, wich barely allow to eat. I would still recommend it and come back if the chance comes up♥
