The Experience

We provide an opportunity for both travelers and the locals here in Seoul to get together, meet new people, learn different culture, and basically make awesome friends. The idea is to connect people from many different parts of the world, have them experience deeper aspects of Korean culture, get a feel of what it is really like to live amongst Koreans, not as a visitor, but as a part of us, one of us.

This was my first volunteer work and I absolutely loved it. Seoul is such a great city and people are extremely welcoming. Communication was easy with the studio and the permanent workers are really easy to get along with. I made some great friends and would recommend this experience to anyone who's social and interested in learning about Korean culture. The clients too are really nice and open to making friends. I loved my entire experience there ❤️

My experience here was amazing! Rudy, MJ, Mr.Kim all super nice, as well as the volunteers! Rudy took real good care of us so please show him some love even though he may appear serious and shy😂 they give us food once a week and the work is sometimes very light but sometimes very busy so it just depends on the day. Overall I had the best experience, a very positive atmosphere and I met so many friends both with the locals and the volunteers so I would recommend everyone to apply even if you're in doubt! Thank you 랭스영!!💜

One of the best experiences I've ever had! I was there for 1,5 months and it was really cool! I made so much friends that I can't tell. Work at the studio allows you to meet a lot of Koreans and all of them are great! The work was amazing and it doesn't feel is a work at all! It feels that you're talking with a friend all the time and I totally recommend it. The place is also good, we had two rooms but only one bathroom so sometimes it was hard but respecting everyone and talking you can adjust everything and keep the cleaning of the place! We're also provided with food and is helpful.

This experience exceeded my expectations. The classes are great and dynamic if you make it that way.Some students are shy but you just have find a topic they are passionate about and they will talk no problem. Mr Kim and MJ were really welcoming and made everybody feel good. Roody is soo kind and caring he always makes sure we are happy with the schedule and goes far an beyond for the volunteers❤️❤️ The appartment is tiny but it was good for me. If you don't like sharing space with others then better go to a hotel instead of complaining all the time 🤣 I made friends for life here, greatful🥰
