Description
I live in an earthen house with a dog in a small village. I am a female in my early 50's. I am into appropriate technology, simple living, permaculture etc. The house has a few appropriate technology such as solar air heating, solar dryer, wood burning floor heating etc. It is located near Haeinsa temple, 1 hr from Daegu and 3.5 hrs from Seoul. Ummm...what else?!

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
I can show you how to cook simple Korean food if you like. If you need somewhere quiet, it might be suitable place to you. There are many trails to go for a walk.
Aide
I have a small vegetable garden. Spring, Summer and Autumn time, there's help needed in the garden including planting and weeding. When the weather gets colder, there's less need for gardening so probably more like general maintenance and cooking & cleaning around the house. Also need help with taking care of my dog.

I can't emphasize how wonderful my experience with Hwayoung was! She was very kind, welcoming, and I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations.

Catalina was a good help overall. She was detailed and enthusiastic about learning organic farming. She's a conscientious worker, accomplishing various tasks to the best of her ability.

Staying with Hwayoung for over a month was a most welcome and unexpected experience. After months of communicating in pidgin English, meeting a Korean person with whom one can have not just normal, but also deep conversations, was such a relief and such a treat. I did end up chatting way too much though…after months of rather defective… read more

We stayed at Hwayoung's place for about 2 weeks over the holidays. We had a great time helping cut firewood and enjoying delicious food together. It was also fun helping out with her English classes and getting to know the students. Her dog is really cute too. Hwayoung, thank you for being such a wonderful host and making our stay so comfortable!

It was a great time at Hwayoung and Chan's house. Very lovely couple with a lot of fascinating interests.
They taught me a lot about Korean culture and saw some of their eco-friendly projects that I will certainly try to recreate some day! :D
It was a fantastic experience and I would definitely recommend them to anyone.
