Description
Welcome to our little piece of paradise on Jeju Island, Korea! My wife, cat, and I live in a charming house surrounded by a beautiful garden and a small farm that we love tending to.
Our home is located in a peaceful and picturesque area, surrounded by lush greenery and stunning landscapes that are perfect for exploring. We are passionate about sustainable living and have created a little oasis that incorporates permaculture principles and organic farming practices.
As a Workaway volunteer, you will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in our way of life and learn new skills while enjoying the serene surroundings. We are looking for someone who is eager to help us with our farm and garden, which includes growing vegetables, fruits(tangerine), and herbs, caring for our chickens, and maintaining the overall property.
In exchange for a few hours of help per day, we offer a 4 beds dorm room in our home and the chance to experience authentic Korean culture and cuisine.
When you're not helping, you can explore the many attractions on Jeju Island, such as the beaches, hiking trails, museums, and markets. We can also provide recommendations for the best places to visit and things to do in the area.
If you're looking for a unique and rewarding Workaway experience, we would be thrilled to welcome you to our home on Jeju Island. Come and be a part of our sustainable living community and make memories that will last a lifetime.
