Helping at Language Cafe in Busan!

An incredible experience. It was my first the coliving so far away and I enjoyed it very much. Korea is a beautiful country and the people there are very nice, I was able to explore a lot of Busan and Seoul. The work has been very fun, very interesting to meet the Korean students, learn from them and their culture. I made many Korean friends and from many other countries. My friendship with the other volunteers and the coexistence have been great. The person in charge of the coliving, Andy, is very kind and attentive to everything, if something happens he is there helping. Thank you very much

My experience at the coliving Busan was very frustrating. I was asked to leave after being accused of something I didn't understand, apparently due to misunderstandings with some volunteers who didn't like me. When I tried to talk to the host to clarify and resolve the situation, I wasn't given the chance to explain my side and was told to leave. This lack of fair communication made me feel uncomfortable and unfairly treated. I suggest the host adopt a more open and impartial approach, respecting cultural differences and listening to all sides.

The overall experience was really nice! I met many nice people - both other travellers as well as locals. The language volunteer sessions were sometimes a bit difficult as some people don't speak english well and are hard to talk to. But other locals were very outgoing and even gave me recommendations of things to do in my free time.

I really enjoyed my time at Lancul since the volunteers I stayed with were all lovely and the 'work' was enjoyable and well organised. The only negative is the location of the accommodation the coliving (as it is around an hour from the main beaches in Busan via subway) though the public transport is great so this wasn't really an issue :)

My experience here was good! I really liked all the other volunteers. Work was very easy and fun. Our host was very flexible and understanding with our schedules. The dorm is a bit run down, and while we had heating in our bedrooms the other areas did not, which got quite cold during winter. But overall it was a great way to see Busan.

Lancul proved the ideal welcoming hub, with Andy allowing time for rich English conversations with locals in my 3-hours every weekday. Between enlightening talks, I forged bonds with vibrant students and elders, gaining an insight into daily Korean life the coliving. The dorm's lively atmosphere near the PNU area enabled intriguing discoveries. When not the coliving, I embraced chances to visit various attractions with new friends. This enriching experience was defined by lasting bonds I built across ages and backgrounds. I eagerly await returning to this community that now feels like home.

It was great experience! I have met a lot of amazing and interesting people, had a lot of fun and things to do. One month passed so fast. Also the location is great with all necessary amenities nearby. I loved Busan and this experience. It was good opportunity to learn a lot about Korea and it's culture.

I loved my experience at Lzone Café!! I'm really happy as it was my first worldpackers experience. Andy was really welcoming and flexible as well. I got the chance to meet some great people, both volunteers and students. I also had some free time to visit other places in South Korea. If I get the chance, I would love to come back!

I had an amazing experience. The dorm is really nice, could be cleaner but all the pros definitely beat the cons. The job is easy and enjoyable, it allows you to meet so many interesting people and to make friends with the locals. The other volunteers were also very nice to hang out with and they never made me feel lonely. And last but not least, Busan is a beautiful city and the neighborhood where the dorm is located is a lovely place. Would recommend 100%

I had such an amazing time the coliving, the work is typically three hours a day Monday to Friday. This left a lot of free time to travel around Busan. Andy was really flexible with our times and this helped me travel to Jeonju on the weekend. You get to have one on one conversations with locals and build really beautiful friendships in the community, I loved the chance to talk to Korean people from all walks of life!
