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.

Russel was an amazing host, it has been an amazing stay in Daejeon. The food and accomodation were exactly the same as described. He helped us settle down and enjoy the city. I appreciate his efforts to make us feel safe at all times! The work didn't feel like a chore but as an opportunity to meet new people. If I ever get a chance in the future, I would love to come visit again. Overall, I am grateful that I found this place as my first worldpackers experience!!

This was my first worldpackers experience and it was amazing!! Russel was a great host, he was very helpful with everything, the accommodation and food and working hours were exactly as described. He was always there to assist for any query and assistance even when we needed to rent bikes to explore the city. Overall, I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to visit Korea, meet and converse with locals and learn about the country.

I had an amazing month in Daejeon. The work at the studio was great as I got to know a lot about Korean culture. I also listen to podcast & co. about Korea but actually talking to locals is definitely a different experience. The accommodation provided was also quite nice as we had basic food provided such as rice, toast, eggs, ramen, spaghetti... this was great for the budget 😊. Furthermore, it's easy to get to other cities from Daejeon as it's central. And though Daejeon is called 'boring city' by some, I did not find it boring. There are definitely things to do there to have fun! 😇
