Beschreibung
Hello I'm Thalia! And I will be traveling with my partner Jeff. We both will be travelling Asia for 6 months and hope to do some workaway to immerse ourselves in nature and give back to the communities!

I (Thalia) have already done 7 months of workaway in the past in South Korea, Indonesia and Taiwan and loved every second of it. This will be Jeff’s first time, he is very excited and motivated!

My previous experiences with workaway include:
- Teaching young children aged 8-15 in Seoul for 1 month.
- Working at an English language cafe teaching conversational English to all ages in Busan for 2 months.
- Teaching children English in Muna, South East Sulawesi Indonesia in the middle of a jungle for 1 month.
- Cleaning and renovation of a Hostel in Taiwan, Ximen district.

We really hope to explore new cultures and interact with people from around the world. We LOVE challenges so will be available to help with anything such as renovation, farming, cleaning etc. I hope WorkAway will give us the immersion to give back to nature and the community, and meet some lovely people along the way. We are very familiar with travel lodging and voluntary work etiquette and we hope to be a bubbly addition to the job!

Vom Workawayer () für Host (Enthusiastic, creative and ...)

I had a great time here! I was here for 3 weeks in June 2018. The work was so easy, and the hostel itself has great standards so it is always clean. The work consisted of changing the beds, sweeping, mopping the rooms and corridors and then you will do some odd-jobs such as cleaning the common room or toilet/shower room. Depending on who is… read more

Thalia is a very easy going and social girl. At our community, she helped Korean English learners improve their English. She talked with them in English about many different topics. While talking, she corrected their mistakes, suggested more natural expression, and taught them some necessary grammar points. I think she can be easily adaptable to… read more

Wooow I have had the best time of my life here in Busan because of this workaway. I spent one month here and I can easily say it was the best month i've ever had. I miss it so much already and I know without a doubt I will come back as soon as I can. Staying in the dormitory with so many different people really made this experience so brilliant.… read more

We are delighted to know that you are so happy having the best time with our family. When you said " I am so happy to be here" is more than enough for us.
The way you taught the students really inspired us. You prepared the lesson based on what students need and always tried to provide the best way to teach them.
Your idea about the curriculum is… read more

Wowww! I’ve had the best time here staying with your lovely family and I am so happy I had this opportunity. I spent two weeks here and had such a spectacular time. Tonno’s lifestyle is perfect and I will forever always be jealous!! The location was perfect and just what I wanted from a Workaway experience, the wooden stilt house and outdoor… read more toilet and bucket shower was perfect for enjoying the relaxed lifestyle. And as the village is small, it allows lots of time to reflect, relax, read your books, play with the children in the neighbourhood, play sports all together with the family! It was 2 weeks of blissful solitude and I am so lucky to have had this experience.

The work itself was very fun, the students were extremely enthusiastic to learn (which after 2 months of voluntary teaching prior to this, where the students didn’t particularly want to be there, this was lovely!) each and every student I taught were so eager to understand new things. There is no set curriculum and sometimes the lesson timings can vary and change every day. You may have days where you have one class or another day you may teach 3 classes. But the earliest a lesson would start is 2pm – which is very nice. It was fun to think of new things to teach the students other than the typical introduction, food, hobbies kind of stuff and they all seemed to enjoy the lessons especially involving interactive games. Now, Tonno himself is a really amazing person, he is one of the happiest, optimistic and enthusiastic people I have met! He has a lovely mindset about the world and dreams and we had many conversations talking about this. And I have come away from this experience feeling very content. The family Ina, Niar and Anti are wonderful also. The food every meal time really made this experience so authentic, cooked on a fire. There are many things to do in your spare time (which you will have A LOT of!) such as visiting the beautiful lakes, beaches, islands, markets. This is not some typical school, it is run with so much heart and passion and I wish all the best in the future for the school’s’ developments, and I wish the best for the family also. I definitely will be back!

:asterisk_symbol:A note for future workawayers, don’t forget to bring a book to read for your downtime and also maybe saving some room in your bags for classic English books for the school and family’s home library – these will be humbly received.
:asterisk_symbol:Collection from the airport is by motorbike and a 2 hour journey, so if your bags are very big or heavy possibly mention this to Tonno before so something can be arranged!

I stayed with Cho's wonderful family in March for 3 weeks. I had a lovely time and my favourite part would be the homestay experience, living amongst the family and having such delicious Korean meals 3 times a day for 1 week. The work itself was very reasonable, the teaching was relatively easy although the kids can be shy there were many games to… read more
