Since returning to Seoul, my days at the farm seem like a dream. It was a very happy and peaceful time where I was lucky to experience the local food, values and work culture in a beautiful place. I always felt welcome and would love to come back. Thank you!

My last stop in South Korea was Bong Farm in Geochang. A most wonderful Korean experience from the host the Bong Family. Experiencing traditional South Korean values of importance of family values, work ethics and kindness. A highlight was having lunch with the family. Work was not overly hard and there was variety of farm and glamping work from packing boxes, cutting strawberry stems to building their new greenhouse. The facilities were fantastic. You get your own room. Hostess Jii was fantastic and an awesome person. She was a firm and very fair and you get to know her at a personal level.

Jii is a really nice and understanding host. Her team is welcoming and helpful. I really enjoyed being at the Glamping. I had my own big tent, with private bathroom and kitchen. The Glamping site is green and spacious. Sometimes the work was intense and sometimes it was more relax. I learned how to do cleaning professionally and Glamping works. Very interesting! Geochang is a place to discover if you like countryside.
