The Experience

I've been running a kind of cafe where Koreans and foreigners can meet up to learn about their own culture and experience while having a conversation in English. This cafe doesn't actually sell coffee or tea but we do provide them with a great chance to make local friends for those who are from all over the world. As we are a kind of language cafe, it is all spoken in English which means we need someone who can speak good English. Apply! :)

Truly an amazing experience. From the moment I arrived both the hosts and the other volunteers did everything they could to make me feel at home. Cheongju is definitely a smaller city but it has all the amenities that you would need, and the bus system makes it easy to get around. The apartment is comfortable enough and is in a great area to move around the city. Kayla and Brian were amazing and were super welcoming. I hope to return one day and would recommend the project to anybody thinking of applying!

I had an amazing experience, Kayla and Brian were very fun and caring, they always helped with anything: if I needed restaurant recommendations, travel plans, etc. It was a great opportunity to meet local and international people; I learned a lot about different cultures and mindsets from the other volunteers' and the locals' stories! The apartment was also very convenient, we had everything we needed, but shops and restaurants were also just a few steps away!

I loved my time at the project ! I even wished to have more hours of classes haha, speaking with the students was so fun. The city is really nice to be immersed in Korean culture, it was so funny to see no others foreigner except the teachers haha + it's a very good place to travel around Korea cause it's in the middle of the country. Kayla and Brian are so sweet, such a kind and lovely couple. I will never forget that experience, I hope I'll be able to come back someday. Thank you for everything 💚

My experience in the project was amazing. It was my first time volunteering and the project was perfect place for it. Kayla and Brian are both the nicest people and their daughters are so sweet. The accommodation is very nice and cozy and very close to the project, which was very good. The actual classes were really fun. There is a lot of students, so it's not like you are talking to the same people every day. And there are just few classes a day and weekends are free so it's not hard at all. I definitely want to go back in the project one day.
