I had a great 1st time WP experience thanks to Yoonji & the guest house. It was pleasant and rewarding to learn new things, meet international travelers and to have great time w/ Yoonji and guests, from engaging chats at the living room to walks or meals around Seoul. Yoonji is flexible and gives you all space/autonomy needed, no micromanagement. She will provide all the basics info for activities at your arrival and details you learn on the job as you go. She takes extra efforts to provide info on things to do, places to visit or eat and make sure people feel at home. I really appreciated it :)

The second experience in Bueno Day was great. I came back because Yoonji invited me to host her guest while she was abroad for work. I hope this is just a start to our long and fruitful relationship.

I'm home here and it is thanks to Yoonji. From the beginning, she made me feel like I belonged, walked me through the local market, the nearby park, shared language tips, cultural insights, and even places to explore that matched my personality. But what really stayed with me was a small, quiet moment: I had mentioned that I left bags of American cookies out of my luggage and was kind of regretting it. A little later, she sent me the location of a place nearby where I could I could get cookies. That gesture may seem small, but it says everything about her. She listens. She notices. She cares.

I had a good experience at the guesthouse. It is located in a residential neighbourhood, but well connected to the centre. There are restaurants and a local market nearby. The work is easy and the hostel is small ( 3 rooms) and very clean. My 1st day was a bit stressful as the host was busy and some of the instructions were confusing to me, but I got used to it. I would recommend this project to patient and mature volunteers who don't mind remarks and want to be in an international environment. I had great evenings talking to the guests and the host, who gave me a lot of tips to visit Seoul.
