Community of Love
for and by
Global Citizens

Forget 'Where are you from?' The real question is: Where does your heart feel at home? Join us in creating a home where borders fade and connections flourish.

Our philosophy

When we forget to see the human in others, we lose our own humanity.

At Seoul Nooks, we're remembering what we've always known—we were one from the beginning. This is more than a place to stay; it's where strangers become family, where differences are celebrated, and where we practice the art of staying open, of seeing each other fully.

In seeing each other, we discover ourselves. We become loving mirrors, reflecting growth and possibility back to one another. Don't just come to stay—come thrive together.

Welcome home.

Community of Growth & Co-creation

We believe every person deserves to find their community - that special place where values align and connections feel natural. Could this be your community? Explore our values below to find out.

We embrace challenges as opportunities for learning and deeper connection. Here, differences aren't problems to solve but chances to grow.
Our strength lies in our diversity - different backgrounds, cultures, and occupations coming together to create something unique.
A beautiful blend of local and international members, creating a space where cultures converge and perspectives expand.
With both long-term residents and shorter stays (minimum 2 months), our community stays fresh while maintaining meaningful connections.
We're not a service - we're a community where every member actively shapes our shared experience. From monthly townhalls to spontaneous gatherings, life here unfolds through our collective initiative.

Who are Global Citizens?

We define a global citizen as someone who transcends the boundaries of their birthplace - in their tastes, preferences, beliefs, lifestyle, identity, and empathy. Rather than using terms like "digital nomad," we focus on the heart and spirit behind one's way of living.

The global citizens in our community are:

Well-traveled souls with open minds
People who care deeply about their impact on communities and the world
Individuals who love to share and contribute to collective wellbeing
Those who embrace constant curiosity and empathetic connections
Both locals and international members who value deep, meaningful relationships
Often slow travelers who immerse themselves in places and cultures

Our Town

Tucked away in the heart of Seoul lies a hidden gem - our beloved Huam-dong. It's a neighborhood that captures the authentic essence of local life while surprising visitors with its unique character.

Here, old meets new in perfect harmony. Traditional homes stand alongside modern spaces, creating an architectural tapestry that tells countless stories. Different generations share the streets, and while deeply rooted in Korean culture, our community welcomes international influences.

We invite you to do more than just stay here - we want you to experience true neighborhood living, becoming part of our community's ongoing story.

Our Homes: Three Roofs, One Heart

Like the quirky souls who live here, our houses are full of character. These cozy, adorable spaces are designed not just to look beautiful, but to encourage natural connections and comfortable vulnerability.

Our three chapters sit within 10 minutes of each other, housing 4-6 people each. As a community member, all houses are yours to share - work, relax, and connect freely across all spaces.

Living in our vintage homes comes with both charm and challenges. We're looking for positive souls who value community over perfect conditions, who see household quirks as opportunities for connection, and who understand the art of living together.

“I have been to so many colivings but Seoul Nooks is the only coliving I have returned to stay for long-term. And it’s the reason why I could decide to come back to Seoul. I want to live here forever :) ”

Life at Seoul Nooks

Want to see what life is really like here? While words can paint a picture, nothing captures the feeling of our spaces, people, and daily rhythms quite like seeing them in motion. We've curated some videos that offer a genuine glimpse into our world. Explore more house tours, interviews, and neighborhood stories throughout our website to get a fuller sense of the community you could be part of.

Filmed by a lifestyle YouTube channel two years into our journey (we started in 2019), this video captures Seoul Nooks as our community was taking shape. While much has evolved since then - from our members to our interiors - it beautifully showcases the unique character of our neighborhood and the architectural charm of Chapter 1.

Join digital nomad Sergio as he spends a month exploring Seoul, with a special feature on life at Seoul Nooks. While the hour-long video covers his broader Seoul adventures, it offers authentic glimpses into our community life and shows how we fit into the bigger picture of living in this dynamic city. Perfect for anyone curious about both Seoul Nooks and the Seoul experience as a whole.
