✅ 호스트 소개 및 자유로운 농장소개 :
20년간의 해외생활(유럽, 싱가포르)을 정리하고 2022년에 귀국하여 자유롭고, 건강한 삶을 살아보고자 봉화에 자리를 잡았습니다. 유럽 살 때부터 관심있었던 퍼머컬쳐 농법으로 농사를 짓고자 준비 단계에 있으며, 미래에는 퍼머컬쳐의 건강하고, 자연친화적인 환경과 과학과 미술 교육을 접목시켜 퍼머컬쳐 자연학습장으로 만들고자 합니다.
집 옆의 임야(약25,000)를 활용해 아이들을 위한 산책로를 비롯한 교육.힐링 공간으로 점차적으로 바꾸어나갈 계획입니다. 외국에서 오래 산 경험으로 외국인과 언어 뿐만 아니라 정서적인 교감도 편합니다. 가족들(남편, 대학생 두자녀)은 주말에만 집에 오는데 가족들 역시 외국인과의 소통이 원활합니다. 초보농부로서 시행착오를 함께 하실 분을 기다립니다

======== English explanation ==========
✅Host Introduction & Free Farm Introduction :
After living abroad for 20 years (in Europe and Singapore), I returned to Korea in 2022 and settled in Bonghwa to pursue a free and healthy lifestyle. I have been interested in permaculture farming since my time in Europe and am currently in the preparation stage of implementing this method. In the future, I plan to integrate the principles of permaculture with science and art education to create a nature-based learning center.
I also intend to gradually transform the 25,000-square-meter forest next to my home into an educational and healing space, including walking trails for children. With extensive experience living abroad, I am comfortable communicating with foreigners both linguistically and emotionally. My family (husband and two university-aged children) visits only on weekends, and they, too, are comfortable interacting with foreigners. As a beginner farmer, I welcome those willing to learn and experiment together.

I spent a wonderful week in Bonghwa with Mimi, Joy🐶, and Christmas🐱.
This was my fourth WWOOFing in Korea and probably the best! Mimi's house is located on a small, quiet hill surrounded by nature. The work is hard, but it is gratifying to see the progress at the end of each day! I stayed for a week at the end of March, helping to remove weeds and put down vinyl as part of her educational farm project. This is a wonderful project that is moving forward step by step, and which I hope will materialize in the next few years!
If you like nature, quiet, and farm work, this WWOOFing is for you. You will discover Korean gastronomy as Mimi prepares delicious dinners, and you will spend convivial moments, like at home🏠.
Thank you, Mimi, for welcoming me and for your authenticity.❤️

Leisa (USA) : I had the most incredible two weeks WWOOFing with Mimi and her wonderful family! From day one, she welcomed me with open arms and treated me like a friend. Mimi’s cooking is absolutely delicious—I looked forward to every meal, from hearty homemade dishes to tasty local specialties.
Beyond the amazing hospitality, Mimi made sure I got to explore the local area! I got to experience a local festival, take fun Zumba classes, and explore the charming town. Mimi also made sure I had time to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. She truly cares about her volunteers and goes above and beyond to make the experience special.
I’m already counting down the days until I visit again this summer! If you have the chance to stay with Mimi, don’t hesitate—it will be an unforgettable experience!
