Description
My name is SeungHun Shin, and I am from South Korea. I recently took a break from my graduate studies and decided to travel to Canada on a working holiday visa. I wanted to spend some time experiencing a different lifestyle and learning from new environments.

I studied radiation engineering at university and have spent several years in an academic environment, so I felt that living and working in nature would be a refreshing and meaningful experience for me. I am generally calm, responsible, and curious about learning new things.

I enjoy outdoor activities, simple living, and working with my hands. I may not have much farming experience yet, but I am willing to learn and help with any tasks needed. I believe WWOOF is a great opportunity to experience local culture and contribute to daily life on a farm.

I had a truly wonderful stay with Mary on the Sunshine Coast. From the beginning, she made me feel very welcome and comfortable in her home.

She kindly showed me many beautiful places around the area, including the Sechelt seawall, Davis Bay, Kinnikinnick Park, and several peaceful walking trails. These places became very meaningful memories for… read more

It was truly wonderful to host Seung-Hun. From the very beginning, he showed kindness, respect, quiet confidence, and genuine care for both the home and everyone in it.

During his stay, Seung-Hun took care of the house and property as though they were his own. He consistently made sure the grass was cut, the blackberry bushes and weeds were… read more trimmed/removed, and the plants were watered and cared for. He helped with many household tasks, including cleaning, DIY projects, power washing the balcony and cement patio pads, washing cars, and even cleaning all the windows in our very large house with many windows — always with care and attention to detail. He also helped with dog sitting and house sitting, proving himself trustworthy and dependable in every way.

In fact, Seung-Hun is such a trustworthy person that he would be trusted completely with both the home and beloved pets without hesitation. Knowing they were in such caring and capable hands brought tremendous peace of mind.

He showed excellent initiative, worked hard, and was able to figure out tasks independently, even when instructions were not always obvious. He approached every task with maturity, responsibility, and pride in his work.

Seung-Hun also genuinely loved being outdoors. He joined me in several hikes during his stay, and it made it so much easier and more enjoyable to take the dogs on longer hikes with an extra helping hand. His calm and easygoing nature made those outings especially enjoyable.

When the day’s tasks were complete, Seung-Hun was equally happy exploring on his own or sitting quietly reading one of his many books. He brought such a peaceful, calm energy into the home and was always very respectful of personal space and routines.

Seung-Hun is also a very talented cook. Some truly wonderful meals were shared during his stay, and his efforts in the kitchen were greatly appreciated. Beyond being hardworking and dependable, he was also a lot of fun to have around. There were many enjoyable evenings filled with laughter and games — especially Quiddler 😊

Although he may seem shy at first, Seung-Hun became very sociable and comfortable when friends visited for dinner. He was always respectful, thoughtful, supportive, and easy to be around. Over the course of his stay, he grew noticeably in confidence, evolving from a quiet and reserved young man into someone calm, self-assured, and quietly confident.

One of the most special parts of hosting Seung-Hun was the bond he formed with the dogs. He was the very first Workaway guest able to successfully take my little Morkie for walks without me being present — something that had never happened before. Even the 16-year-old Chihuahua absolutely adored him, which says a great deal about his gentle and caring nature.

Seung-Hun brought quiet company, dry humour 😝, and thoughtful support into the home. He seemed to naturally understand when someone was stressed and offered comfort simply through his presence. Having him there was genuinely comforting and appreciated. And he's never short of saying Thank you! He doesn't hesitate to let you know how grateful he is to be given the opportunity to be in your home.

It was a true pleasure to host Seung-Hun, and he would be highly recommended to any future host. He is mature, intelligent, humble, respectful, hardworking, and dependable. He approaches everything with care and sincerity, and he is someone people can truly rely on when help is needed.

He leaves behind wonderful memories and will be greatly missed. Any future host would be lucky to welcome him into their home.

We miss you already Seung-Hun. Please stay in touch and come back any time. You are family now. xo
