Qunyi - 2022
"I met so many cool people from all over the world. They are enthusiastic, independent and talented and we had a good time having classes and dinners together. I improved my intercultural communication skills and Korean language skills, and I became more independent and will be more confident in being a solo traveler!"

Abby - 2022
"The highlights of my experience were definitely my travels outside of Seoul: I went to Gapyeong, Jeju-do and Namwon. Korea's natural scenery is so beautiful - very different from Australia's! I also highly recommend staying in a traditional Korean house (hanok) if you ever go to the Korean countryside to experience the more traditional side of Korea."
