the conversations shared during beer time are what I remember most.Through conversations with people, it felt like a time to understand others and, even better, to learn from them.For someone who usually lacked confidence, living in Jeju helped me build confidence that I can do something.

Tell us about your own travel route during the gap year (recommended places, schedule, route)
With the mindset of not being greedy, I visited one destination per day.
Instead of brand-name cafes, I was able to enjoy leisure by visiting the unique cafes that exist in Jeju.
Rather than museums, it might be better to go to places where you can organize your thoughts, places you can go to alone.
I think the gap year was a time that helped me reorganize my life and move forward.Before starting the gap year program, I was worn out by my daily life.I was so happy just to have come to Jeju Island.I enjoyed the time learning the owner’s delicious cheonggukjang and buchimgae cooking secrets,and I was glad to be able to share stories that are an important help in life.
It was also a time to learn more about the guesthouse industry.When I worked with an owner’s mindset, the work became enjoyable before I knew it,
and I realized that I was enjoying the work.Second is harmony. I learned that group living requires consideration for one another, and I realized that unseen acts of consideration help people get by.
Third is learning. Since I had a similar disposition to the owner, there were many points I empathized with when we talked, and I resolved to become someone who can help others in the future.Finally, I want to express my regret. I wanted to stay longer, but circumstances made it difficult. When I’m having a hard time, thinking about life in Jeju seems to help me cheer up.Also, once I find a job, I will visit Jeju again to make up for this regret.
