I had an amazing experience here🩵 ☑️Housing: Fully equipped kitchen. Spacious rooms. Everyone does their part to keep the house clean n comfy. Big thanks to Brandee, who manages us— super attentive, and always makes sure everyone's needs are met. Food n entertainment are close by. Schedule given in advance, and weekends are off. Plenty of time to plan your trips. ☑️Shifts: English conversations w students. Levels vary, finding common topics makes time fly;) students are eager to speak. No strict rules, just show up on time. 3 weeks went by too fast 😣💞 Miss all my frds in Busan

I had a very good experience at the language café. I was given a clear schedule for the week, and I worked 3 hours per workday. The work was very easy: the entire purpose is to simply have a conversation with a Korean the host so they can practice their speaking skills. Also, the dormitory that I shared with other volunteers was comfortable, and at a good location as well. Overall I would highly recommend this volunteering position.

I had a good experience in Busan here with many lovely volunteers. The dorms and common areas are fairly cozy. You have some free time during the day to see the delights of Busan and weekends are usually off unless your free days are split. Andy is accommodating to requests that you may have. I quite liked the location of the dorm as it was near the bustling University and also close to Gwangali Beach and coastal walks. All in all great stay.

Busan is a beautiful city, there is so much to see and explore, and the people are very kind. The school is very close to the residence, and you live with other foreigners. The hosts and my classmates were very nice, they welcomed me warmly, and I was able to make good friends there. Brandee is very kind and is always helping us. The classes are only three, which allows us to have time to hang out and rest. I loved the experience. I will miss it. 🥰
