Experience working on a Blueberry Farm in Jeju Island

 *본 프로젝트는 외국인 참가자를 대상으로 진행됩니다.

 

 

 

자연 속에서 천천히 흘러가는 일상!

 

도시의 삶에서 벗어나 한적한 시골에서 살고 싶은 사람들을 위한 프로젝트!

제주도 블루베리 농장에서 일 체험을 하며 힐링할 수 있어요.

일을 하다 보면 복잡했던 머릿속이 어느새 맑아지고, 눈 앞에 펼쳐진 자연이 내 삶으로 스며들 거예요.

자연을 사랑하는 마음과 자연에 대한 관심만 들고 제주도로 오세요!

 

 

농촌에서의 삶을 꿈꾸다!

 

최근 도시 생활에서 한계를 느껴 자연과 함께하는 생태적인 삶을 실천하고자 귀농하는 청년들이 늘어나고 있어요.

농촌은 청년들의 꿈을 이루어나갈 수 있는 무한한 가치와 잠재력을 가지고 있기 때문이죠.

이러한 공간에서 나만의 자연을 가꾸며 살아가고 싶은데, 어떻게 준비해야 할지 모르겠다면 지금 제주도로 떠나 보세요!

블루베리 농장에서 일 체험을 하며 힐링도 하고 귀농에 대해 생각도 해보는 시간을 가질 수 있어요.

 

 

블루베리 농장 일 체험을 하면 이런 점이 좋아요!   첫째, 자연을 온전히 느끼며 생활해요. 블루베리를 수확하고 선별하는 등 농장 일을 하며 일상을 자연과 함께하고 몸과 마음을 치유할 수 있어요. 둘째, 귀농에 대해 좀 더 깊이 알 수 있어요. 농촌에서 직접 생활해보면서 나에게 맞는 삶인지 생각해볼 수 있으며, 농업에 관한 많은 조언과 지원을 받을 수 있어요. 셋째, 스스로 성장하는 시간을 가져요. 직접 농작물을 관리하고 자연 속에서 살아보는 새로운 경험을 통해 한 단계 성장한 내 모습을 발견할 수 있어요.

 

새로운 일을 경험해 보며 내 미래도 함께 생각해 볼 수 있는 시간!

자연을 느끼러 제주도로 훌쩍 떠나 볼까요?

■ Recommended Travel Destinations

1. Saryeoni Forest Road

Saryeoni Forest Road is one of Jeju's hidden gems, leading up to Saryeoni Oreum, and that's why it's called Saryeoni Forest Road. 'Saryeoni' means 'sacred forest' or 'to wrap something tightly so it doesn't come apart.' Walking on the forest road, you can fully enjoy the fresh scent of cedar. Especially, the Saryeoni Forest Road has not been greatly damaged, so it is a favorite spot for tourists who love trekking. If you look up while walking, you'll see the tall cedars reaching for the sky, providing shade, with sunlight shining through the gaps. If you want to breathe in the clear air of Jeju and heal your body and mind, be sure to visit!

2. Sancheongburi

Sancheongburi is a crater designated as Natural Monument No. 263 in Jeju Special Self-Governing Province. The term 'gumburi' means a volcanic crater. Unlike other parasitic volcanoes, it has a large crater and is like a botanical garden with various rare plants existing in one place. As you walk up the gently sloping path, you'll quickly reach the top. In particular, many tourists visit in the fall to see the silver waves of silver grass swaying in the breeze. However, it's a great place to visit in any season since different plants bloom in every season, creating new scenery.

3. Udo

Udo is called the Cow Island or Cow Island because its shape resembles a lying cow. It is a representative sub-island of Jeju with gentle slopes, rich fishing grounds, and beautiful natural conditions. Tourists who visit Udo mainly go to watch the coral reef beach that creates a white sandy beach as the hard red algae break apart, the famous Hagosu-dong Beach known for its wide white sand and blue sea, Udo Peak for panoramic views, and Geommeolle Beach. Besides the natural beauty, you can enjoy more fun activities like sea fishing, bike hiking, submarines, and cruises. However, please check the weather forecast beforehand, as ferry operations may vary depending on the weather!
