Great experience with Russel! This was my first ever Worldpackers trip and l really enjoyed it. Russell is very kind and helpful. He was always there if we needed something. Even looked after us when we were sick. The academy is nice and clean. The working hours are also very good, plenty of free time to enjoy Daejeon and do your own stuff. The students are very nice as well, I have made lots of friends. At the acommodation we had a good team and hopefully will see them again soon somewhere in the world :) I definitely recommend this academy if you coming to South Korea! thank you Russel :)

Russell is the best! Daejeon is not the busiest city to be but my experience was great because the manager and the other volunteers made it very homey. Talking to korean people made me learn so much about korean culture every day, Russell was also teaching us free korean classes to help us with daily life. It's easy to go from Daejeon to other major cities in Korea and the schedule is flexible which allows a lot of short trips around. The dorm is nice, they give us basic food and supplies and Russell is always willing to help and make you feel comfortable here.

For those who might be worried about world packers I believe this studio is the best place to start. Russell the host is one of the kindest people I've ever met and is supportive of whatever issue or question I had. Not only that but the time spent in the studio didn't even feel like work at all. Just lovely people all around. The accommodation is a great place to stay the night. Definitely not a 5 star hotel but it feels like home after a few days. The pantry is always stocked with bread, eggs, ramen, and rice so you'll never go hungry. Love ya Russell thanks again for everything!!! ❤️

This was my first Worldpackers experience and it was incredible! The language studio gave the opportunity to meet such good friends both international travellers and Koreans and work ended up being so much fun as it felt like I was talking with friends! Also, the host Russell is one of the nicest people I've meet he is always ready to help you and makes sure you feel comfortable, in my case I delayed my trip a few days because I got sick and when I arrived Russell reassured me that he would be ready to take me to the hospital if needed. From Daejeon it's very easy to travel to Seoul/Busan..

My experience in Daejeon was fantastic ! The work at the guest house allowed me to meet a lot of people and to make friends. Everyone is so kind and the city is great to live in. The accommodation can seem a bit small but everything is provided. Russell always took care of us and helped us if needed, he is one of the kindest people I've ever met. If you're looking for discovering about the Korean culture I highly recommend !

This was such a great experience. Daejeon's small community feel allowed me to make a bunch of friends and feel really at home. Russell is so sweet and supportive, and the accommodation is really comfortable. The students at the guest house were all so sweet as well. Highly recommend!!

This was my first English studio experience and my second volunteering on WP. I absolutely loved it! Russell goes above and beyong to make everyone feel welcomed and at home, he provides groceries and takes care of us when in need. He is very kind and caring! I felt valued and appreciated and most importantly I loved working and helping Koreans at the studio. Everyone was very kind and eager to give me suggestions for restaurants or learn about me. Daejeon is a nice quiet city, it is perfect to work and study. I had a very good time and once again I thank Russell for everything he's done!

The experience is absolutely great, meeting the Korean students is pricless, and is also the best way to learn about their culture. Russel is a wonderful man, always ready to help and concerned that you're living a good experience. Totally recommended.

This volunteering experience has been one of the best I've ever had. I had the opportunity to meet a lot of Koreans, learn more about their culture, and the hours at the guest house passed really quickly. The apartment is very small and Daejeon is not the best city in Korea, but I'll never forget my time hanging out with the students and Russel is one of the kindest persons I've ever met. He has a big heart and he cares a lot about leaving a beautiful memory to you. I appreciated it! I'll never forget my experience in Language Studio! :)

This was my first Worldpackers experience and it was amazing! Russel was very kind and understanding when it came to schedules and plans for the week. I learned so much from the local students and created some great friendships with both locals and volunteers. Even in only 2 weeks you get very close to other members and students, getting to know a lot about other cultures. The actual work flies by as it feels like conversations with a friend. I'd recommend to anyone looking for a local and safe volunteer destination.
