Description
Hello and welcome! 😊
I live in Seoul with my 8-year-old son. We are a small, warm family who truly enjoys meeting people from different cultures and sharing everyday life together.
Our home is in a quiet residential neighborhood, not a tourist area, which means you can experience real local life. Even though it’s peaceful here, the city center is only about 30 minutes away by bus or train, so it’s easy to explore Seoul anytime you like.
Our house is not an apartment — it’s an old Korean house with a small front yard. It’s not something many travelers get to experience, so staying here gives you a chance to see a more traditional, everyday style of living in Korea.
Just a minute’s walk away there is a beautiful historic temple, and five minutes away is a UNESCO-designated royal tomb park. It’s a lovely neighborhood for walks, quiet mornings, and slow afternoons.
For us, hosting is not just about getting help. We genuinely want to share life, culture, meals, conversations, and small daily moments together. We hope that when you stay with us, you won’t feel like a guest, but like part of our home.
If you enjoy children, meaningful cultural exchange, and peaceful home environments, you will feel very comfortable here.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I am a teacher at an alternative high school, and if you’re interested, you may have the chance to visit the school, meet students, and join creative activities together.
You can experience everyday Korean life — local streets, markets, parks, neighborhood restaurants — not just tourist places. We also enjoy simple things like cooking together, walking, chatting, or sharing stories about our cultures.
For my son, meeting people from different countries is a beautiful learning experience. And for you, I hope this will be a place where you feel safe, welcome, and at home while discovering Korea.

Help
Your help will mostly be part of our daily life rather than formal “work.”
We simply hope for someone who is willing to share everyday routines with us.
Tasks may include:
- Light cleaning and tidying
- Laundry if needed
- Washing dishes
- Cooking sometimes (we’d love to try your favorite dish!)
- Spending time with my son — playing, talking, reading, or simple activities in English
No special skills are required. What matters most to us is kindness, sincerity, and a warm attitude toward my children.
Around 3–5 hours per day, 5 days a week
Weekends are free unless we make plans together.

What else ...
This home is perfect for someone who:
- enjoys being around children
- likes calm, cozy homes rather than busy hostels
- is respectful and tidy
- wants real cultural exchange, not just a place to stay
- enjoys conversation, food, and simple daily life
Please copy & paste and answer:
- Visa type and length of stay
- Are you currently in Korea? If yes, what have you been doing?
- If not yet in Korea, when do you plan to arrive?
- Age
- Relevant experience (children, housework, volunteering, etc.)
- How long would you like to stay?
- Do you have travel insurance?
- Any allergies or dietary restrictions?
- Why would you like to stay with our family?
Final note
We believe cultural exchange begins with kindness and curiosity.
We don’t expect perfection — just sincerity, respect, and openness.
We look forward to meeting someone who wants to share life, not just accommodation.
