I've stayed in this wonderful volunteering place for two weeks and felt very sad to go! Messi and Bryan are very nice and helpful. It was so nice meeting so many people through the language studio, volunteers as well as locals. I really really enjoyed my time here and thanks to everyone I had a very successful first time volunteering abroad <3 would definitely recommend this place to other volunteers!!!

Even though my stay was short, I totally enjoyed volunteering at this place! I felt very welcomed by the managers and the other volunteers. The people at the cafe are also really friendly and open to getting to know you. It's definitely a great place if you want to learn more about Busan lifestyle and the coliving culture while also helping locals improve their conversational skills. Thank you, Messi, for everything! I'll make sure to visit again in the future :)

I had an amazing time at the studio! Bryan and Messi warmly welcomed me and made me super comfortable at the dormitory and at the studio. They were really nice and accomodating regarding my needs and requests. I really loved meeting new people as the schedule was perfectly well organised! I really recommend the studio for who ever want to meet locals and enjoy Busan.

Unfortunately I couldn't stay for long, but the experience was really good and it gave me the possibility to enjoy Busan at its fullest! I had the opportunity to meet locals and interact with them, and through their advice I could immerse myself in the city and the culture. Messi is really nice, he always helped me and my friend, and he was always kind and friendly with us. I totally recommend this experience!

Had a great time the coliving. Messi was excellent and so helpful, the work was exactly as agreed upon and things were nicely scheduled so you can plan to do things outside of volunteer hours.
