Description
Hi I'm Adrián. I'm here because I recently found a new passion I didn't know I had: traveling. Last year I went on a crazy adventure by myself. I traveled across the globe, to South Korea all alone for one entire month. I haven't been able to think on anything but going back as soon as I could. That's why I am here. I basically would love to spend a year there again and improve my korean skills. I consider myself a respectable person. I like being around children and playing with them. When my little cousin was a couple of years old I remember he used to spend a lot of time with me and loved to come to my house to play with me.
At first I may be a little shy but once I get some confidence and start feeling comfortable I tend to loosen myself quite a bit.
I am fluent in english and spanish (native). I can speak some korean (and improving currently!), I'm also good with math and computer skills. I graduated in 3d animation and videogame development.
Thanks for reading. I really hope you can give me a chance!

I'm going to try to be as objective as I can. I will start with the positives: Rahee is a very good child and very easy to take care of. On other reviews they make it seem like it's something challenging if you don't have expeprience with kids but I don't think that's 100% true.
Now I will address all of the acusations mentioned about myself; I… read more don't think it's fair to judge someone in the first days of meething them specially when they are just starting to live with complete strangers. Moreover picture yourself finally arriving home after 20h of non-stop travelling across the globe and they tell you to go sleep on the floor and you can't either sort out your belongins out of your suitcase because you also don't have a room.
I really don't get where I "failed to greet properly". I don't know what else I need to say besides the usual good morning, hello... I think that is a very subjective statement.
About the "handover period": you are fully relying on the previous person on teaching the next one (me in this case) how to do the things. It's fair but what is not fair is to say I'm "unskilled" when you didn't make sure that the previous person taught me how to do the things the correct way. "No willingness to learn" to learn what? What did you try to teach me?
"He declined all of our cultural exchanges and activities, consistently responding with a firm 'no.'" Okay so you expect me to go dancing (yes, literally) on the second day of being in the house. Firstly I hate dancing and secondly I was jetlagged and pretty tired so sorry if I didn't want to go dancing (?????).
The only time I could have acted somewhat bad was friday, and I will try to explain why, but other than that they don't have any reason to say that I had bad manners or that my behaviour was bad. The reason I was distant friday is because I had been doing chores all day like a servant, they didn't tell me that they were going to be gone for the whole day and then with like 1h notice in advance they told me that some friends were coming over to the house so I had to rush and take the garbage out and tidy up the house because I had to pack all of the groceries. All of this and without even a single "thank you" or something similar. Like that is what I'm supposed to do? If that is the case then what they want is basically to have a servant that just obeys and doesn't complain. In my country we say that is "tener más cara que espalda".
I knew since day -1 that they didn't want me to be there because they always stated here in this website that they had a vacant even after confirming that I had the trip planned. Even when I was there they only put the month of may in red as they had someone in, so that is something I was always worried about but didn't want to overthink it too much.

The day I left I didn't "suddenly left home". That day was the day after I acted distant and I wanted to go out to have breakfast because I thought the weekends were something more for myself since Rahee didn't have school. When I was ready to leave for breakfast the father stopped me in the door and started shouting at me repeatedly and telling me things in a very arrogant tone and was like "why are you here?" or said that "I have had a bad attitude since the first day" which is objectively wrong and they are saying this so they can have a reason to discredit me. "Either way, me being in your house doesn't automatically give you the right to treat me like a piece of garbage. I'm not a slave that you can raise your voice at and talk to with all of that hate towards." I obviously left because of that interaction. Not to mention that when I left for breakfast they updated the website to show they had a vacant, I'm pretty sure it was exactly when I left, it should be on the server logs if the moderators need to verify. So yeah it wasn't suddenly, I know how to read between lines.

PS: Somehow the "not polite, rude and bad manners" person acknowlodged their mistakes and could point out the positive things about all of this. You have also forgotten to say that gave you (easily) $150+ worth of food you can't find in the country, but I guess you forgot about that part.

It was truly an embarrassing experience. I’ve hosted over 15 workawayers, but my time with him was the worst. He constantly wore a displeased expression on his face and lacked basic manners, even failing to greet properly.
At our home, we usually have a handover period with the previous workawayer, but he was rude even to the former workawayer and… read more
