I've had my internship at Korea gapyear for 5 months.
All I can say is that they're very lovely and warm-hearted people. I'm so grateful for meeting them and be able to spend the last 5 months with them.
They always stood behind my back and were able to help, showed me all Korean things on a daily basis, tried teaching me Korean as much as they could and I'm very grateful for that.
I've learned so much on personal levels by being here, but it was always comforting to know that these people would always stand by me and try their best to help me.
They told me we're like family now and I'll miss them very much. But whenever im in Korea again, I'll surely come visit them many times:)

I can only be positive about them! I really really had a great time at Korea gapyear.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?

When we found out that I LOVE kimchi jjigae, we made it a thing!
KIMCHI JJIGAE TUESDAYS were the best!
I will miss eating it with them and getting too overly excited on Tuesdays :)

Hello everyone, so I spent two months in Seoul,South Korea for an internship at Africa Insight. These two months were amazing! I have met so many people from all around the world. I have discovered a lot about working in an office but I also got to help organize the Seoul Africa Festival and I have been invited to important events in fancy hotels in Seoul.

During these two months I had the chance to visit so many places like palaces, themed park, traditional markets, rooftops, cute streets and cafes, even a huge music festival!
To sum up I fell in love with the korean culture and its people!!
If I had to do it again I wouldn't change anything at all.

Thank you to Korea Gap Year and especially Olivia and Youjin for making this possible for me and making this life experience an amazing one!

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?

I think it was when I got invited to dinner by the Gabonese Ambassy here in Seoul with all the very important people! But also when I saw living octopus for people to eat but I did not try it aha.

I rent a hanbok to visit the Changdeokgung Palace

I am Amber, french student in international trade and I had a two-months internship at Korea GapYear.

Thank you very much to Korea GapYear and to all the staff for allowing me to do my internship in Seoul as I really wanted to. They have been very nice and warm to me since the very first day and helped me integrate into korean life. They have been really understanding and allowed me to gain experience, knowledge and try new things during my internship.
Thank you particularly to Olivia who was my tutor during this internship and who helped me not only with my work but with the preparation of my stay in Seoul and my integration into korean culture.
They've been really open-minded as I came while I was fasting and that made me feel even more comfortable working with them.

What was your funniest moment?

Filming a video for applicants going to France (because I am myself) and having to scream to test the mic before each take.

I would like to thank GapYear for help in finding a place for the internship. I could address to them in any question and problem. And they immediately tried to help me. In addition, they helped us not only before the internship, but also during it. Thanks to them, I got a great opportunity to go to Korea for an internship, for 2 months, which I had long dreamed of. Therefore, if you dream to go to Korea, and also get some experience, I advise you to turn to GapYear. They will certainly help you.

It was my first experience to working since I graduated and Korea GAP YEAR really teach me what I need to learn and know . All of the coworkers were nice and helpful. Even I am not fluent in Korean they trying to understand what I am saying. If you love Korea and want to have work experience in a peaceful environment you can apply for short term internship in here ! and plus , all of the coworkers and the CEO are open minded it's easier for you to adapt in here !

What would you improve about this program?

provide English website so people who couldn't understand Korea can join this program

Questions & Answers

Staff Interviews

These are in-depth Q&A sessions with program leaders.

What is your favorite travel memory?

Honestly, I love my travel memory every single moment since all memory is different and valuable each. If I should pick only one moment, it will be the travel I went before the pandemic. I travelled alone to Bali, Indonesia for volunteering and also personal vacation, but I didn't expect that I should stop my travel for a long time due to COVID-19. Thankfully, everything is getting back, so I am so excited to travel somewhere soon!

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?

Korea Gapyear is not just a travel agency, we are social enterprise. Especially, our company's main business is educational service and contents provider, so I always consider how could we change our participant during their program, and what can we do for the participant to learn and grow up. I changed my mind that my task is not just to do the business, and it is about achievement about our social mission. Our team aims to help young people to find their own dream through broaden experiences.

What is the best story you've heard from a return student?

I don't know why this story comes in my mind, but I heard "I was really sorry about what I did" from the previous participant who requested to our team unexpectedly. I was touched that since our team members were hard to manage at that time, but someone takes it for granted about what we did, but don't express us - so if someone would express any words, I am so touched about their kind words. Even though it was a few words, it made me encourage.

If you could go on any program that your company offers, which one would you choose and why?

Currently, our team is providing many programs all over the world. Among them, I would like to learn a new language such as Spanish and France to learn new culture. I believe that learning a language is that the best way to understand the others. I did take part in the program running from our company, and it was nice! Definitely, I will participate in another program again!

What makes your company unique? When were you especially proud of your team?

We really care in each participant, and it is from that our team manage the whole process from the beginning to the end in order to make the participant happy with the participation through us. Also, our team is local-based, and also have awesome staff who can communicate friendly with the international participants. I believe that our service will make the people comfortable during their stay in South Korea.

What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?

I believe that the company should be where the customer wants and also should provide the appropriate service while looking back constantly. Our team is really careful to receive the reviews from the participants. Even though it would be not 100% positive review, we are totally fine, then we could consider how to develop for our participant. I believe that thinking for the customer all the time is the biggest factor in being a successful company.
