Wwoofing has always been something that is very dear at my heart. I owe this farming spirit to my lovely father, Wak Jani and for me being a hard core anak Felda. Angkat buah kelapa sawit, pungut biji sawit itu perkara kecik je hehe. 5 years? Hmmm…not really accurate but more or less. Again, I […]
Initially I was thinking to do couchsurfing but the couchsurf host did not reply me their contact details which made me switch to wwoofing instead. I paid only for membership registration of 1 year – 50,000 won and did my own host booking online – I saved 30,000 won and the hosts details are on the website […]
After that unbelievable delicious tteokpokki lunch in Samcheongdong, Min Young and I went to WWOOF office near Anguk Station to re-register myself and new registration for Min Young. As you may know that the rules has changed now as per details in here. We walked after Anguk Station, exit 3 and turned left on the first […]
Those who are interested to do Wwoof (Willing Workers of Organic Farm) in Korea, you may notice the changes in processing fee (Thanks to Jaja for the tip! ^^) Courtesy: Wwoof Korea Here is my correspondent with Wwoof Korea. Hi Wwoof Officer, I have registered for Wwoof on 2009 for 50,000 won inclusive of the […]
Despite some uncomfortable experiences that I encountered during wwoofing in Korea, I can’t stress enough how wwoofing has taught me about Korean culture and their lifestyle. The farming is unquestionably tiring but self-redeeming at the end of the day. As I’ll be going to Korea again, I can’t resist to wwoof. Definitely. 🙂 this time? It’s […]
In Korea, 100 days always means something special. A feast is prepared for 100 day’s baby, a toast is shared between a couple, a family or colleagues gathered to congratulate an employee for being in the office for 100 days and etc. The 100 day is considered as surviving period of the baby/couple/employee. I had […]
Bun Sok, Joy and me visited a container house near Jaesan Village. The owner was an English teacher graduated from Canada. I had met him when I was in Joy Farm for the first time but I couldn’t remember his face at all. Aigoo..my memory is getting weaker and weaker. I wish I could upgrade […]
I visited the Joy Farm again for the third time. We sow the pepper plant at a new plot. This time they aimed at double the amount of last year which was 2,000 plants. I am glad that I could help them even though my back was killing me. I stayed there only 5 days […]
Su Hyeon; Haein’s best friend and Jun Su from Seoul came to visit us but now they brought another family with them. The other family has a small son called Kit Chan. He was so cute and amazingly funny. A 4D kid with a world of his own..hahaha. Su Hyeon wanted to have a snack (과자) party […]
Min Young, a 20 year old Seoulite came as a guest in Santisuk in late April. She rented the room for 50,000 won per night. However, surprisingly Nandida offered her to work with her for a year and study english with the wwoofers which was a great idea. Since then, we became good friends. These days […]
Mr Lee, Hojin and Haein planted flowers for spring but I couldn’t help them cause I had to take care Ratana. Weather in early spring is really unpredictable, sometimes it was very warm, sometimes it rained and even snowed. Hmmm..I should say that if you come in May, the weather is still quite cold between […]
