Description
Hi! I'm Lia, a voice actor and the owner of a small English library-school in Suncheon, a green and peaceful city in the south of Korea. I live with my 5-year-old son and our dogs. We love books, nature, cooking together, and slow, gentle days.
We're looking for a Workawayer — traveling solo or with her child — who would like to stay with us and help my son and me grow more comfortable speaking English in everyday life.
If you're interested: helping out at our small English library-school (optional)
We're a warm, relaxed family, and we'd love to share our home with someone kind and curious. We'd love to hear from you! -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Staying with us means living like a local Korean family, not a tourist.
Korean home life & food
Cooking and eating Korean home meals together, like kimchi stew, rice dishes, and seasonal side dishes
Visiting local markets and trying regional food from Jeolla province, known as the food capital of Korea
Learning simple Korean phrases in everyday life (and laughing at our mistakes together!).
Nature & the slow life
Walks in Suncheon Bay Wetland, famous for its reed fields and migratory birds
Exploring the national garden, nearby mountains, temples, and the southern coast
Quiet, slow days outdoors with children and dogs
Voice, stories & books
I'm a voice actor, so we can read stories aloud, play with voices, or even try a little recording for fun
Our small English library-school is full of picture books, and you're welcome to join storytime
Sharing your culture too
We'd love to learn from you as well: your favorite recipes, songs, games, or stories from home. My son would be thrilled to learn about the world through you. -

Help
We're looking for a warm, friendly female traveler (solo or with her child) to help my 5-year-old son and me use English naturally in our daily life.
With my son:
Reading picture books together in English
Playing, drawing, and doing simple crafts while chatting in English
Joining outdoor play, nature walks, and little adventures
With me:
Relaxed English conversation over meals, tea, and walks
Helping me practice natural, everyday expressions I can use when teaching children
Optional (only if you enjoy it):
Helping at my small English library-school with storytime or activities
Cooking together and sharing recipes from your culture
No teaching experience is needed. What matters most is that you're kind, patient, and enjoy being with children.
We'd ask for about 5 hours a day, 5 days a week, and the rest of your time is free to explore Suncheon and the south coast. -
Languages
Languages spoken
English: IntermediateThis host offers a language exchange
Yes! Language exchange is at the heart of our home. English for us My son and I are the ones who most want to improve. He's 5 and learns best through play, books, and songs, so simply talking and playing with him in English helps a lot. For me, natural daily conversation is the biggest gift: how people really say things, not textbook English. Korean for you In return, I'm happy to teach you Korean, from Hangul (the Korean alphabet, which you can learn to read in a few days!) to useful phrases for traveling, shopping, and ordering food. As a voice actor, I can also help with natural pronunciation and intonation. How it works No formal lessons or pressure. We learn together in everyday moments: at the dinner table, on walks, while cooking, and during storytime. Mistakes are welcome on both sides! If you're traveling with your child, our children can learn each other's languages through play, which is often the fastest way of all. -
