Thank you Sam for the amazing experience! It's hard to describe in words, but it felt like a community, beyond the farming activity itself which was fun, engaging and full of lessons, and beyond interacting with the locals, helping them practice their English while having fun with cooking activities, which was likewise fun and engaging, the atmosphere, the location, being there, and the kind and warm presence of Sam made it feel like a home far away from home. On top of all that, Sam took us places to show us the beauty of Korea and why it's worth visiting. I only wish I stayed longer!

I have been to Cloudberry 3 times, the last group I made great friends and came home with wonderful memories. Work, Badminton, great Korean food and group tours, it was fun!!! ✨🙌🏼🫶🏻 Busan is close , so it's a nice place to go on your day off. Sam and team cloudberry thank you for everything.🍓

The location of the farm is convenient to explore nearby. It's also located not far to Busan (you can take a bus and the subway). The lunch is delicious and the dinner is up to you. Sam plans an activity per week with the volunteers, sometimes go to a place or sometimes dinner together. My favourite activity was farming, because Sam taught me about strawberries. However, the activities (English camps) with the kids and families were amazing, as well. It was fun and recreational. There are more volunteers, so you can meet new people and make friends.

Me encantó esta experiencia, pase buenos momentos en el voluntariado. Es una muy buena opción si te gustan los niños. El trabajo es sencillo y consiste básicamente en realizar actividades con los niños/familias/ adolescentes mientras les hablas en ingles. Las actividades van a depender del horario, cada día y semana es diferente, así que no hay una rutina fija. Algo que me encantó fue estar con los niños de kinder, con los niños del centro comunitario y con los de discapacidad. Sin duda mi mayor reto y diversión fue en el campamento de inglés, dónde me hice cargo de 3 niños con mucha energia.

Nayeli was such a wonderful volunteer and person to have with us. I was amazed when she shared her past experience as a dolphin trainer at an ocean theme park in Mexico—it was so unique and inspiring! I could really see that same kindness and patience in the way she treated the children here at CloudBerry, always being gentle, calm, and caring with them. On the farm, she was also very responsible, working carefully and thoughtfully with every task. I am truly thankful for all the positive energy

White and black mold everywhere, on every wall and ceiling, multiple bedrooms with leaks from the ceiling. While the food that clouds mom cooks is head over heels amazing, the living situation is shocking. I stayed my whole month because I feel guilty about bailing on projects but I would never recommend to a friend. In addition, his communication/leadership style is chaotic, stressful, and insulting. He makes simple things stressful and lacks managerial organization. He's constantly running around and yelling how we are doing things wrong but then if we wait for instructions he's annoyed.

I’m sorry your experience didn’t meet expectations. I’ve been running volunteer-based programs and always try to provide guidance. Our programs vary each week, so I give instructions specific to the day. Sometimes, when I was just about to explain, you interrupted with questions, which made it harder to communicate smoothly.it is timing. I hope future volunteers approach with a mindset of helping, not pride,so we can all create meaningful memories together. I’ll continue working hard for it

The work is light, around 3–4 hours a day, giving lots of free time. Tasks include farm work or helping kids with English, which I enjoyed. Sam (host) also organizes fun activities like karaoke and Korean BBQ, and we made great memories with other volunteers. Unfortunately, I gave only 3 stars because we had to leave after a week due to poor accommodation conditions that impacted our health. Molding, roof cracks, water leaking and cockroaches were present in the bedrooms. I really hope this feedback will be used to improve the current conditions. Volunteers deserve better.

Sam is a friendly host committed to his work. The tasks are as described and the hours are good. If you like working with kids, it'll be easy. Lunch was always great, and Sam took us to bbq and karaoke. We had a lot of fun with the other volunteers. However, we left after one week due to the bad state of the volunteer accommodation. In particular, there's black mold and cockroaches present in the bedrooms and the bathrooms. I hope this feedback is used to put effort into improving the accommodation.

I had a lovely time at Cloudberry! Met a lot of nice people, enjoyed the good food from Mama, and had lots of fun working at the farm and exploring Gimhae and Busan. Sam and Sophia were very nice, and good at recommending places to visit, as well as taking us on trips. Enjoyed my stay!

Thank you so much for your quiet strength and warm presence during your time at Cloudberry. You approached every task with calm focus and responsibility, and it was so easy to trust and rely on you.

It was a joy having you with us, and we’re truly grateful for all that you contributed. Wishing you the very best in everything .

We had a great time thanks to Sam and the other volunteers ! Seven of us were sharing the Happy House (as a couple you will not necessarily share a room as it depends on the number of male and female volunteers), the facilities are simple but good and despite what other comments might say you do have hot water. Common area are heated as well as the rooms at night. We would work five days a week, with two days off. Usually farm work during the week and cooking classes with the families on weekends. Sam would take us on day trip as well which is really fun ! Thank you so much, all the best !🩷

I had a really fun time at cloudberry. Sam is an excellent host and is always ensuring his volunteers are comfortable and have what they need. I enjoyed meeting other international volunteers and working with the kids was fun!

Hey~ Emma

I really appreciate your children's passion for education. It is really impressive that when the community center students come every time, you keep trying to take care them and help them even if their speaking English is not so good . You will be a good teacher who is welcome whereever you go. I hope you travel safely and have more good volunteer experience. take care ~
