#Got to know myself better #Gained wonderful memories and learned how to create a welcoming atmosphere #Felt like a local in a family-like atmosphere
I was glad to be able to make good memories while living like a family with wonderful people. Living with others allowed me to learn more about myself. It also became an opportunity for reflection, thinking, ''Oh — this is how I can come across.'' It felt like a valuable experience to get to know myself. Above all, I learned how to lead the atmosphere, and while it''s good to look after others, I realized I need to take care of myself first. Of course others notice consideration and effort, but I also learned that I must act with discernment.

My gap year story
I first came across the gap year when I discovered I was spending my time at home too meaninglessly; wanting to do something, I started looking into various options and learned about it..Then ''Gap Year Stay'' I discovered the program and applied because I wanted new experiences, was curious about the guesthouse, and wanted to meet a variety of people..Of course, it wasn''t easy at first..It wasn''t so much that the work itself was hard, but my body struggled because I suddenly had to do things I normally don''t do at home..But gradually I improved and became accustomed to it..
Most of all, I was happy to make good memories living like a family with great people..Living with others allowed me to learn more about myself..''Oh, I can come across like this,'' I realized. and it became an opportunity for self-reflection..It felt like a good experience for getting to know myself..Above all, I learned to lead the mood, and although it''s good to take care of others, I felt that I should take care of myself first..Of course, others appreciate consideration and effort,,and I also learned that I must act with discernment..
While working at the guesthouse I met many travelers; some guests missed great attractions because they were on tight schedules..In contrast, I liked being able to travel at a leisurely pace..I felt as if I had become a local rather than a tourist..
Through the gap year I shared good memories with good people,, I''m grateful to Korea Gap Year for giving me the chance to grow even more.

The gap year I spent
Experience ★★★★★
You can live in a guesthouse, meet various people, and have diverse experiences while traveling around Gyeongju.
Learning ★★★★☆
There were many things I realized and learned through meeting and conversing with various people.
Environment ★★★★☆
Gyeongju is incomparably clearer than Seoul. It feels like it heals me to my core.
Leisure ★★★☆☆
At first it was difficult to enjoy leisure because I was adapting, but as I grew accustomed, I was able to enjoy my free time.
