A fantastic experience. The hours are adhered to as scheduled, and the work provides an invaluable opportunity to engage with the local residents. Daejeon is a beautiful, peaceful city surrounded by nature. Locals are really nice people. The accommodation is simple and small, but conveniently located very close to the work site. It's essential to respect the rules of community living to ensure a pleasant stay, as things can become quite difficult otherwise. The provided food is basic. I would undoubtedly volunteer again because the time spent here has been wonderful.

Volunteering in Daejeon was a wonderful experience. Russell is really attentive and always in communication. Whenever you need something, he'll be there to help you. The work is also pretty easy and enjoyable. The shift is reasonable and you make great connection with the locals. They are wonderful students who will make your stay the best!

I had the best time ever in Daejeon. It definitely makes a difference that you meet people your age/vibe and I was so lucky to meet a handful of them. I would really recommend befriending the students at the Studio, because that's how I learned all the korean customs and korean culture in general. Russell is extremely caring and will help out with anything - don't be afraid to ask! I do think the apartment could do with a deep clean every once in a while, and also some better mattresses/blankets/pillows. The food is also just ingredients and ramen, but I am so thankful for the experience<33

Russell did a great job at communicating goals and expectations as well as being friendly and accommodating! I felt very welcomed and the work at the language studio was amazing for getting an inside view of Korean culture and getting to know locals. I would recommend to implement a cleaning/organization system with fellow volunteers as the accommodation can get a bit messy if gone unchecked. Other than that, it was wonderful and I'd definitely recommend this experience!

My friend and I had an absolutely wonderful experience in Daejeon. Russel is incredibly accommodating and always ready to help if anything is wrong. At one point the AC wasn't working and the same day he made sure to come and help us figure it out. Beyond grateful for my time there and the people I was able to meet through this experience. An amazing way to get to know locals, the work never felt like work :D

This was my first travel experience and I honestly couldn't have been luckier. The experience allowed me to meet some of the best people ever and consequent have the most amazing time. The work in itself doesn't feel like work but rather like having a conversation with your friends. You meet all sorts of people with different backgrounds and personalities and it's honestly so insightful. I even made some friend at the studio! Food is basic but sufficient and if you coincide with nice people the dorms feel like a sleepover. Daejeon is surprisingly fun too, despite what ppl say :)

I've had a wonderful time staying here. Russel is such a good sport - truly an attentive host and the accommodation is proper. People who want to learn and teach; but also connect with locals - this is the spot! I've made international as well as Korean friends. The studio is a fun and relaxing environment with lots of different people that come everyday. I wish I had stayed longer. I can't recommend this enough!

We had so much fun volunteering in Daejeon! We met so many amazing people, both locals and other people volunteering. The work was super nice, and the locals were all super friendly and thankful! Also, people tend to say Daejeon is a boring city, this is simply not true:) We would really recommend this experience if you enjoy being social and learning about Korean culture!

My time was so amazing. Truly my favorite volunteering experience so far, the people you'll talk to at the studio are so kind and you will learn so much. The other volunteers will become your best friends super quickly and you'll have the most amazing and fun time! I truly loved and enjoyed Daejeon as well, so many cafes, restaurants and parks, and even a clubbing era. Russell was very caring and acted super quickly if we needed anything. Thank you so much!

I had a great time with Russell and the students at the studio! :) The work is very smooth and talking to the students gives us the opportunity to learn more about Korean culture, customs and share about our country too. In addition, it was always fun to get to know each student and share moments with them outside of class. The facilities for volunteers are good, the food is simple but sufficient and Russell was always polite and helpful. Daejeon is not a bustling city, but there are a few places to go out at night, plenty of places to exercise, enjoy the local life and chill out.
