Description
Hello, nice to meet you.
I am a man in my early 50s, living alone. For about 20 years I have worked as an eco-house builder, and I was also a teacher at an alternative school. The house I live in now was built by myself.
In my house, I applied appropriate technology such as a solar dryer, a solar heater, and the traditional Korean heating system called Ondol.
I have also been a Kouksundo (KSD) instructor for over 20 years.
KSD is a traditional Korean mind-body training that includes stretching, breathing, meditation, martial arts, and more. The aim is to grow as a holistic human being.
I've been operating a KSD training center in Daegu, a large city near my home, since March of 2025
Monday to Thursday: I stay in Daegu and lead three KSD training sessions each day.
Friday to Sunday: I return to my rural home in Hapcheon.
While I am away, I am looking for a responsible volunteer to help take care of my rural home and small farm.
Who I'm Looking For
Someone who enjoys nature, is responsible, comfortable spending time independently, and is happy to help with simple farm work.
If you are looking for a peaceful experience in the Korean countryside while contributing to the care of a home and small farm, I would be happy to welcome you.
----------------------------------------------------------
If you're interested in me and my place, please include the following details in your message so I can best assist you and see if we're a good fit.

What else ...
How to get here
1. From Seoul
Take a train from Seoul Station to Dongdaegu Station.
Transfer to the subway and go to Daegu Seobu Terminal.
From there, take a bus to Haeinsa and get off at Yaro (a middle stop).
* Buses run every 40 minutes to 1 hour.
In short:
Seoul Station → (Train) → Dongdaegu Station → (Subway) → Daegu Seobu Terminal → (Bus, ~1 hr) → Yaro
2. From Daegu (Daegu also has an airport.)
From Daegu International Airport, take a taxi (about 1.8 km) to Ayanggyo Station.
From Ayanggyo Station, take the subway to Seobu Terminal.
From there, take a bus to Haeinsa and get off at Yaro (a middle stop).
In short:
Daegu Airport → (Taxi) → Ayanggyo Station → (Subway) → Seobu Terminal → (Bus, ~1 hr) → Yaro
3. Meeting point
Let me know your bus time from Seobu Terminal, and I will pick you up at Yaro.
Important: Buy a ticket to Yaro (not to Haeinsa). The Haeinsa ticket is more expensive and will require you to return.
4. It's much simpler if you come when I'm in Daegu.
If you get off at Duryu Station using the Daegu subway, I'll pick you up.

The time I spent with Miha was pleasant.
We both like music, so we sometimes enjoyed listening to each other's guitar.
He was traveling with a courageous open mind and having various experiences, and his unique ideas sometimes inspired me.
I was busy with my schedule, so he often cooked, but his dishes were very delicious.
I recommend him!

I had great experience at Chan's place. The town is really small so everyone kinda knows everybody. They are very communal and hand out a lot. We got constantly invited to people's homes and I always felt welcome and appreciated. The town is peaceful, surrounded by beautiful nature, so you can easily walk around or go on a hike on a nearby hills.

This was a truly unique experience. Where to start... First, Chan is a really nice person with a big and kind heart, always sharing everything he has and caring that you feel at home. He spreads positivity and knows what are the important things in life! We had the opportunity to talk about deep things and to laugh as well during meals.

There's a delicacy and warmth to offset all that.
