We contacted Mr. Choi and Mrs. Lee already in January. They answered quickly and agreed that we can come. We immediately settled on a date of our arrival. Then we messaged them quite frequently when we arrived to South Korea etc, they didn't reply eventhought they read the messages. We don't understand why they didn't reply but after that we had… read more

It was a truly great experience and we got to do a lot of things we had never done before like making a fence out of bamboo trees, plastering an old house (I believe traditional style) on their property, sowing peppers, etc. I must say we learnt quite a few things… read more

We spent 10 days with Mr Choi and Mrs Lee and had a great experience. They are amazing hosts, both going out of their way to ensure we experienced Korean culture. They took us all around Gochang including the dolmen site and seonsan temple. We absolutely recommend them as hosts and wish we could have stayed longer! Kippis!

The best way to express our 3 weeks experience with Mr. Choi and Mrs. Lee is that Marco cried when we said bye. Their generosity is incredible, we did so many things together and their priority was that we were fine and that we learned about Korean culture and lifestyle.
We are grateful for everything
