Bella is a really nice kid with great soul. It could be quite challengable to help me for her in a way. I added pretty more difficult random works and stressful things with super pressure, yet she showed extreme patience without any complaints at all in any cases.

To be honest, I didn't have any best volunteers like her. She might be quite tired when she arrives at the next place. I hope a next host gives her enough rest.

Bella, I'm really happy to have you here. This place should have been better as your first trip. I know you should have been treated better.

Thank you, Bella.

My experience at the home was great. While I was there, however, the E-Language cafe wasn't entirely set up yet, so our work consisted of promotion & painting/organizing the cafe (which is the living room/common space of your accommodations). Though I know the home has made great progress during the month of April and am confident there will be more structure and bookings come May! The place itself and your gosiwon is very calm, relaxed and comfortable. Mr. Son is so sweet and considerate and really wants you to enjoy all of Seoul. This place, the people and the amazing city made my time here!

I will totally recommend to da volunteer in the home, I loved to have a private room and have the possibility to use the kitchen. It's a nice place, near to Sillim station and bus station so it's pretty easy to go around Seoul. Also they're many restaurants, convenience store, street food and bars. As a volunteer I just spend a few hours in the morning shift and then i had many hours to enjoy the city. The host Mr.Son it's a nice person, he showed me around in my first days, organizes a few meetings with all the volunteers and was always interested in help us.
