My time at Lancul was exactly what I had hoped for! My goal was to be able to connect with international travellers and local Koreans alike and this experience truly allowed me to do that. I also really wanted to improve my Korean language skills and the amazing manager at the cafe, Jas, went out of her way to connect me with students I could practice with outside of cafe hours which was so helpful :) I got to learn so much about Korean the coliving everyday life through my conversations with the students and lancul, who came from all walks of life from kids to young adults to older folks.

This was my first experience with Worldpackers and I truly enjoyed it. The fellow volunteers, as well as the guests in the language café, have all been really sweet and it has been a pleasure to get to know them. It is also easy to communicate with Andy, if problems arise (i.e. being sick) or if you need to adapt the schedule. I hope I will be able join again in the future!

I stayed at LanCul for about 3 weeks and it was one of the best experiences I've had. The dorms are clean and comfortable and everyone does their part to keep it that way. The work was great as well, I was afraid I wouldn't enjoy it that much as an introvert, but it was a lot of fun and meeting so many locals as well as other travelers was so rewarding, the schedule is also flexible. As the work only takes a few hours of the day, there is a lot of time to explore interesting places all around Busan, of which there are many of. Overall an amazing experience and I'd definitely recommend it !!

This experience was an absolute blast! The team is super friendly and very easy going as well as the students. One of the locations is a bit far from the city but its a nice neighborhood were you have everything you need. Totally recommend this magical place. I had the best time!

Busan is a lovely place to visit and I enjoyed my time there and this program :) The managers and everyone made me feel welcomed. The job is straight forward and simple. There are some challenging students, but most of the students are enjoyable to speak with. You really can dive into the coliving here and meet plenty of locals.
