The Experience

This program's mainly focused on practicing speaking English and exchanging culture among local Koreans and also with volunteers from overseas. I believe that the best way to fully explore a certain country or a city is to actually bond and build a friendship with locals and that is what we locals here are excited to do!! We are trying to make an environment where everybody can join the conversation.

Volunteering at E-Lounge was a fun experience. I enjoyed meeting locals and other volunteers and the working hours meant there was lots of time to explore Seoul before work started.

The coliving was an amazing opportunity. I can't imagine my first volunteer gig going smoother. Irene (the manager) was super effective at communicating throughout the process. They are very understanding of the volunteers' needs and flexible in changing shifts when possible. This is also an ideal job if you are a night owl (the earliest shift doesn't start until 3PM). At first I wasn't sure how living with 11 roommates for 5 weeks would go, but honestly it was an awesome experience. I made so many new friends -- both world travelers and local Koreans alike. I would be very happy to return someday.

After a long time traveling, my time at the coliving really stayed with me. Korean people are incredibly kind, and I made friends with both locals and other volunteers, all of them were lovely. The apartment's location is perfect, just five minutes from my favorite spot in Seoul which made everything even more special. I left with good memories, real appreciation for the city and I recommend this experience to everyone!!

My experience at the coliving was truly memorable. I had the chance to meet incredible people from all over the world, as well as friendly locals. The atmosphere in the apartment was very welcoming, with everyone being genuinely kind and open. The shared living space is kept clean(we clean twice a week), so you can relax knowing your environment will stay comfortable and well-maintained.
