Description
Hello there
My name is Monica
I am eager to meet you all and have a wonderful time with you.
I can help you explore our beautiful city of Danyang and to meet local friends so you can really experience Korean culture knee-deep.
Danyang in Chung Buk, the Guinsa temple is the largest in Korea, and Sobak National Park is famous for trekking. There are many places to have fun and it is very safe to travel around. (Korea itself is very safe in general)
It takes about two hours to get here by train or express bus from Seoul
The main purpose is for the English.
I am currently running a guest house, and you can stay for free. It's made into a private bathroom, and you can use a cooking kitchen.
Anyone happy to help out people who love meeting new people, and who are willing to expose themselves to a new culture is more than welcome to join our community
