I was there for only two weeks but it was nice. You could meet a lot of new people and locals while practicing english. In Daejeon itself is not much to do but you can da lot of daytrips if you want. Everything was organized and you had a lot of free time before work. The host is very understanding and helpful you can talk to him if you need anything. :)

My time at the workaway host's place was enjoyable, especially the English language the guest house sessions. It was fascinating to engage in conversations with locals of various backgrounds, ages, and genders, which provided valuable insights into the local culture. Overall, it was a positive experience that offered me the opportunity to both improve my language skills and learn more about Korean culture.

This language the guest house was a wondeful experience and a great way to meet locals and get to know more about the city and South Korea in general. Everyone at the guest house is eager to learn more and do their best to engage in meaningful conversations, even when they struggle a little with speaking English. The work hours also make it easy for you to travel around and explore, especially on the weekend. Russell was nice and helpful, and easy to talk to. Thank you for everything! :)

Russell was professional but very friendly and the work exactly as described ^^ The dorm is quite small but with the help of all volunteers kept tidy :) The common room is ideal for late night talks and/or games around the table! You will definitely improve your skills regarding holding conversation and speaking with all different kinds of people! I think extroverted people are more comfortable with the work we had. Daejeon can be very enjoyable when you have a cool social circle, so start building one by going to a language the guest house for example or go out with your co-volunteers :)!

Daejeon is well located and good to live. You are going to meet people from all over the world at the accommodation. The work is easy : 4 hours/days and you will learn a lot about Korean culture. It's so interesting to talk to them every day. You'll have plenty of time during the day before the work. I recommend this worldpackers experience Thanks Russel and everybody I spended my time with ❤️

My time Daejeon was lovely, as I was able to meet lots of very interesting Korean people and gain an understanding of the culture and lives of people from the community. I also had a chance to meet other volunteers, whom of some I became close friends with, which made the experience very enjoyable! The food provided was not quite what was advertised when I applied, so this was a bit disappointing budget-wise. I recommend this experience if you would rather avoid being in a big city for too long, as Daejeon is very peaceful.

This was my first World Packers experience, and as a (slightly!) older traveler I was perhaps a little nervous - but I really shouldn't have worried! Everything about this experience was superb, Daejeon is a fascinating city and you really get to know a bit of Korea that most travellers don't see. The facilities were excellent, and Russell and all of the students were so kind and welcoming. I can't recommend this host enough, thank you again and I truly hope to return here again one day!

I had a great stay, it was overall fun having conversations with the locals and Russell provided us with vegetables and fruits sometimes since vegetarian options are limited :)

I really loved my stay here! I even extended for more than a month. Russell is super nice and makes sure to take care of everyone. I also met some lifelong friends here, as well as made friends with many locals through the studio. I have so many good memories. The accommodation is a bit small and the food provided is simple, but it's enough. I'd love to come back!

It has been an unbeatable experience. The apartment has everything and Russell is always attentive to ensure that everyone is well and comfortable. Daejon is a city that has everything and is well connected for visiting other cities like Seoul, Busan, and Jeonju. The work at the academy is very interesting and you have the opportunity to get to know Korean culture and tradition explained by locals. 100% recommended!
