I Never thought I would enjoy the time there so much, but it was one of a kind. Russell is the nicest person I've ever met and he took care of everyone so well. The experience in general was amazing and I would never regret doing all of this. I sadly had to leave a little bit earlier than planned but I would love to come back in the future. The people I met and worked with were super fun and I loved the city too. I can only recommend starting your journey there :)!

I had a great time in Daejeon! Russell was always ready to help. The apartment is just a short walk from the language studio, and the work hours allow for plenty of free time to explore the city. Overall, this program is an excellent opportunity to fully experience Korean culture.

Staying the guest house was truly an amazing experience. Russel is great and helps whenever somebody has a problem. The apartment is in a nice area of Daejeon and very close to the guest house. Working at the guest house is great and really helps you to get immersed in korean culture. Because work is only four hours per day, you still have more than enough free time to spend exploring Daejeon and the rest of Korea. I've made a lot of close friends, both through the guest house and the apartment. Overall I would highly recommend the experience!

Coming to work in the guest house and living the guest house was possibly the best choice I could've made during my trip to Korea. I wish I had stayed longer. The work is simple and very fun. Truly, working in Russell's the guest house was one of the most enriching experiences of my life. I had very detailed and in depth conversations with Korean students that frequently centered on cultural the guest house. Russell is a generous and welcoming host. He goes above and beyond for his volunteers. I would highly recommend this experience to any and see myself coming back in the near future!!!

To spend a month in Korea was one of my best decisions in my life. Daejeon and the Language Studio was great, and Russell is a fantastic host. He manages the Studio with accuracy, he is always there to help everybody in need. He creates good atmosphere and takes care of the details. Daejeon is vibrant, lot of things to see and experience. The apartment and the Studio is in the center, it gives the chance to the travellers to discover the city easily. I would recommend this place with hundred percent!

I really liked working at the guest house. Russell was a great host. He was kind and welcoming. He made sure to keep us safe and comfortable at the guest house. The people at the guest house are fantastic! The apartment has a washer. The apartment is nice but small. The shower and toilet are not separated so, everything will get soaked. The overall experience was fantastic!

Russell made my first Worldpackers trip and my first time in Korea absolutely wonderful. The shifts are 4 hours, and you're just talking to Koreans so they can get conversation practice. You get to know people over time and you can get to become pretty good friends with some of them. There were many students that I would get excited to be paired up with, and I would get lunch or go to bars with several of them. I also got unbelievably close with the other travelers, and Russell himself is incredibly sweet. I got really sick early on and he took me to the hospital and checked on me every day.

I ended up liking this place more than I expected. My experience at the guest house was nothing but fun! Russell is one of the kindest people I came across and he's an amazing host. He'll help you with anything and everything. Work is super easy, and you end up meeting various people from different backgrounds, you get to learn about locals and their culture. While living with the other travellers, I made some really amazing friends! I'm going to miss the guest house, Daejeon, the apartment, people I met, friends I made, and the walk by the Riverside so much! I would love to go back again.
