Description
Hello workawayers,
I'm living in a small studio with my lively 3-year-old. We embrace simplicity and conscious living. Although we are currently living near Seoul, a bustling city, I'm all about frugal and slow living. Nestled in a commercial area, our home offers easy access to subways, parks, cafes, and restaurants.
I truly believe that everyone possesses many talents to offer to this world, and we can create something beautiful together. Nevertheless, given how little I can offer to you in order to keep my minimal living style, FROM THIS APRIL, I ask your time for 15 hours per week instead of 24 hours per week.
✅ Quick Checklist for Workawayers Before Applying
1. Female Only: We only host females who are non-smokers and have a native-level proficiency in English.
2. Stay Duration: Ideally, commit to a stay of 2 - 4 weeks
3. Limited Privacy: Please understand that we provide a loft upstairs with no wall, no doors, so your space does not offer complete privacy.
4. Being Realistic: Our home with a child is not always quiet. My son stays up late and can be noisy until 11 pm.
5. Food and Diet: With 15 hours work per week, we only provide basic ingredients for you.
6. Being Considerate: Please get back home and shower by 11pm.
7. Privacy and Trust: We don't have responsibility to share contact details of previous or future workawayers. Please be true to yourself and ask anything you want to know in the video interview.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I have explored diverse fields and industries, including food science and English linguistics, throughout my career. From teaching English to working as a production inspector in Vietnam, and pursuing an MBA degree in Taiwan, I have cultivated a passion for learning how the world works. I also realized I never lose love for learning languages, nutrition, and cuisines. Connecting with fellow workawayers who share similar interests is something I greatly value.
I have personally traveled across Korea as a workawayer and visited Japan, Austria, and Switzerland as a couchsurfer. I really enjoy connecting with locals and immersing myself in different cultures. Now, as a host in Korea, I am thrilled to continue this enriching experience by welcoming guests from around the world.

What else ...
Public transportation in Korea is convenient and affordable.
My place is a 5-minute walk from the subway station, and most attractions in Seoul are within a 50-minute commute. From Incheon Airport, it takes less than 2 hours by airport bus to reach my place.
If you plan to come directly from the airport, I recommend:
- Purchasing a Tmoney card at the convenience stores or from the vending machines at the airport.
- Exchanging money or withdrawing cash at Hongdae, Itaewon, or Myeongdong (Seoul) to get better exchange rates.
