    Description

    I run a moss farm with my husband. We need help for growing moss. Moss is gaining attention in the era of climate change due to its exceptional carbon capture capabilities. It's not a big farm and we bought the land recently. We are beginners.
    I did many workaway works on 2017 by myself in many countries like UK, Demark, USA and Bolivia.

    Our farm is located at a city named Ilsan which is a 1 hour from Seoul by metro . I have a room for workaway workers at my apt. Of course, there are clean blankets and pillows. Since my apt's location is near the capital city, it'd be such a nice place for sightseeing too.

    I speak English pretty much, but my husband doesn't. I have a small dog, named Bomi.
    We don't have child.

    Our farm is used for non-profit purpose.
    We'd love to welcome workwayers from all over the world.

    When you work or stay at my house, your meals will be provided.You can cook yourself or I can cook for you.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I just love to meet people from different cultural background. Before I got married , I did countless couchsurfing, workaway and other activities to meet people from different countries.

    I love cooking, I can teach you how to cook Korean food.
    Workwayers can learn lifestyle of living in suburb of South Korea. Also, you can learn how to grow moss,
    I am hoping to learn from workwayers about their culture and skills they have.
    When it rains, you don't work, instead we can exchange language and culture.
