    We need 1 or 2 persons to help us to set our field for Winter season. It should be few days of work (probably 4 or 5 days). One meal a day will be supported when we work 😉.
    Feel free to contact us if you are interested.

    Hello there,
    We (Korean/French couple) are living countryside in Republic of Korea along the shore in a traditional Korean house (Hanok).
    We enjoy our jungle garden in Summer and our small orchard.
    We try to have a substantial way of life 🤠.
    We have 1 dog and 1 cat. We will be pleased to meet you.
    SeungHwa & Jacques
