This has been my first volunteering experience ever and it couldn't have been better!! The hostel itself has the best facilities I've ever come across and a pretty convenient location, close to the beach and subway station! I've met the loveliest people with whom I could share so many stories & laughs, it started to feel like a little family:,) Working hours are totally fair and work is easily doable! Super thankful for my stay at the hostel, I'll definitely be back!! :)

Honestly, this hostel has some of the best facilities I've stayed at. The gym and coworking spaces are top notch, it's the perfect place if you're working while on the road. Super friendly people, very social vibe, and it's easy to meet other travelers. The working hours are fair and they actually stick to the schedule. Definitely recommend!

This was my first time volunteering through World Packers and I had the best experience at the hostel! The facilities are amazing and the work expectations are very fair. Very conveniently located walking distance to the beach and 5 minutes to the metro. The owner Seong is such a lovely person and seems to genuinely care about the volunteers. I look forward to seeing how the hostel grows! Will definitely be back :)

My second time volunteering at the hostel in Busan was just as special as the first. It's more than a hostel, it's a community full of creativity, purpose, and genuine people. I can't thank the amazing team I finished with enough for their kindness, support, and unforgettable moments together. Wishing everyone the very best for their journeys ahead. So grateful for this experience and proud to have been part of the hostel again. Wishing NOMADX continued success in future. 😎
