Description
I live in an earthen house with a dog in a small village. I am a female in my mid 40's. I teach Korean to immigrants and also teach English to local children. I am into appropriate technology, simple living, permaculture etc. The house has a few appropriate technology such as solar air heating, solar dryer, wood burning floor heating etc. It is located near Haeinsa temple, 3.5 hrs South of Seoul. Ummm...what else?! Feel free to ask pls.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I can show you how to cook simple Korean food if you like. If you need somewhere quiet, it might be suitable place to you. There are many trails to go for a walk.
Help
I have a small vegetable garden. Spring, Summer and Autumn time, there's help needed in the garden including planting and weeding. When the weather gets colder, there's less need for gardening so probably more like general maintenance and cooking & cleaning around the house.

They taught me a lot about Korean culture and saw some of their eco-friendly projects that I will certainly try to recreate some day! :D
It was a fantastic experience and I would definitely recommend them to anyone.
