- This past year I flew to South Korea to volunteer at the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympic Games for the figure skating events at the Gangneung Ice Arena.
I had the time of my life working in the Interview Mixed Zones, attending events, watching practices, visiting Seoul, meeting countless new friends and learning about different cultures. Here is a glimpse into my time there.

I loved the pyeongchang 2018 olympics they where the best
Me too! I had the time of my life there and everyone was so nice
This is cool, I didn’t know you went. Thanks for the experience!!
Rachel Trimble thank you!!!
I LOVE THIS!!!
THANK YOU!!!
I keep on coming back to this video and I still don’t get board
Omg!!! That totally made my day. Thank you!!
@@paigecarl No Problem
Hey, I’m just wondering if you have any footage of Tessa and Scott rehearsals from the Olympics?
I have a few clips, but they were pretty strict about filming rehearsals!
PaigeRage Is it okay for you to upload them?
@@danioril Super late responding to this - I'm sorry! It might be okay now, but I probably won't just to be on the safe side. :)
Hey! So happy that you were volunteer. I applied for Beijing 2022 but I have some questions what exactly means some locations which are in preference and abilities. Can you consult pleaaase🥺🥺🥺🙏🏻 or can we change the choice or will everything be explained during the interview? That's my first and maybe the last time and i don't want to spoil anything
It would be very nice if you contacted me or shooted a video how to do this stuff
Hi! This application was so different from the one for the Pyeongchang Games. I really don't if they will let you change, and maybe each games has a different policy - but I feel like it could be open to discussion. Last time, I wasn't assigned to the venue I ended up with, I called and requested and luckily they moved me. But I don't want to say that is the usual case!
Now I have a question for you - I just submitted my application, did you receive a confirmation email after you sent your application?
@@paigecarl i don't remember. I applied a year ago. And just changed some details of my application
@@aidachi7799 I see!
How did you volunteer exactly? Do they just accept everyone who wants to volunteer or do you have to have some kind of background?
by background i mean having some sort of skating experience
Hi! It's an application process that they send out about a year and half before each games! There is an interview process so not everyone is accepted. I think it helps to have a background or passion for some sport, but you definitely don't have to have one. It just needs to be clear that you would be a hard worker and are passionate about the games, and are able to get there :)
Any clips of Yuzu 🇯🇵🙏
So cool, amazing. May I ask you how to be selected for the iceskating venue?
Thank you, and I requested to be there in the application!
PaigeRage Actually I am planning to apply for Olympic 2022. So I have some questions and I’m glad that I’ve found you. I wonder did they cover any fee for you like the staying fee? And literally how much money will I have to prepare for the Winter Games only? I don’t think I could attend the Paralympic. Thank you for sharing ❤️
@@thaovanotran908 I'm so sorry, I totally thought I responded to this! I also plan on applying for next year. The only fee I had to pay was my travel there and any essentials I wanted to bring. They provided a place to stay and the transportation to and from work, and meals. I can't really say a dollar amount it would cost because that would depend on how much you feel you need to prep for it. I prepared enough to stay for a month - bought winter clothes and items I thought would help me. I probably could have gone with less. I didn't attend the Paralympic either, it was too much time off of work to do that. And thank you for commenting!
Hey! Did you have any special skills that might've helped you? I applied for Beijing 2022 and other than 4 languages that I speak I don't have anything special. I want the ice skating rink at all costs :/
Hi! During my last application, I really just spoke about how passionate I was for the games and figure skating background. I want it too! I just finished my application, there weren't many sections that allowed us to talk about our backgrounds. :/ Did you finish it? Did you receive a confirmation email or anything after it was submitted?
Hi, Paige! I’d very much like to interview you for a video I’m planning on my Figure Skating channel. Would you be up for it? How can I contact you?
Hi! That could be fun. What do you have in mind? :)
@@paigecarl I would love to interview you on your experience being a volunteer at the olympics :)
Hi Paige! I was wondering which Preferred Job Area for Volunteer did you selected?
Off the top of my head - I believe selected Press (or press operations)! I am not sure if the application for the next games offers the same categories or if it changes each time. I also wasn't given this job in my first offer, I had to call and discuss what my options were for figure skating.
Great. Did you have many previous volunteering when you applied ?. I'm going to apply for the next 2022 but have a few things to write so it's my pleasure to hear from u. Thank u
Hi! No I did not have any previous volunteering experience. I am going to apply for 2022 as well! I wrote about how I was really passionate about the games, figure skating, and made it clear I was willing to work and be there for the entire games. Good luck! Feel free to ask any more questions. :)
I was looking for this question😅 I also don't have any volunteering experience, but really want to apply for Beijing 2022!) Hope to meet you there😁
@@user-bm4dq1lv1q Hope it will not be cancelled bc of Covid 19 :((
@@linhlinhedition fingers crossed 🤞🤞
@@user-bm4dq1lv1q здравствуйте)Я тоже подаю на 2022 год)Если Вы не против можно ли как то связаться с вами?)
Hiiii Paige I love your vlog uwu! Pyeongchang Olympics feels like a blast! I'm looking into volunteering for the 2026 Olympics at Milan, perhaps as a translator and interpreter kinda stuff, and I wanna know is being able to speak a couple of different languages an asset, and how did you apply to become a volunteer? Is the competition of getting a spot intense🥲? And lastly do you have to know how to skate to be assigned into volunteering for the figure skating event? Thanks and warm greetings from Canada🥰
Hey! Hope you doing well✌🏼 I’m going to apply for Beijing22 but of course I have a few questions☺️ I actually understood that how volunteering works so I have questions about financial stuff. Where did you stay? (Olympic village...?) And how much money you approximately spend? Greetings from Turkey❤️❤️
Hello,I'm going to apply for Beijing2022 too.As I know they provide a bed in a hostel,food and clothes for volunteers 😆 I watched some videos about volunteering at the last two Olympics
Nastya Tsoy hey😄 thanks for your reply. I am really exited. I am going to apply too. But you know about the economic situations... So little occasions would be amazing✌🏼😊
@@schalkem7478 welcome 😊 Can I ask which job area and place you picked?I don't really understand what those jobs mean...
Hi! Thanks for your comment, I'd be happy to give you more info. Hopefully Beijing22 still happens - or it looks like it will be pushed later. :/ Volunteers during the PyeongChang games were put in different places to stay based on where they volunteered, not the Olympic Village. I was put in a hostel about 30 minutes from where I volunteered, it depends on the bus route they had. It felt nice enough for my purposes staying there. In terms of finances, I paid for my plane tickets round trip (which were about $1300 in my case) and anything I needed to bring. It's up to you how much you want to spend on extra food or items, or on weekends if you feel you want to travel elsewhere. But overall they provided where we stayed, meals at the hostel and site where you worked depending on your schedule, and transportation to and from work. It may not be the most luxurious of circumstances, but for me it was worth it and the best experience of my life if that's what you're looking for!
@@schalkem7478 hello,did you apply for Olympics ?I applied,but didn't get any letters for interview...
Love the video! "Didn't go to Korea to sleep"
HAHA oh hi Kenneth. Realized it was you with that last quote! Thanks.
@@paigecarl 😁 keep the inspiring work girl 🙌
오 대박이넹
Thank you! :)
Did you have to learn Korean to be a volunteer?
I didn't have to learn Korean, but they did require me to take a Korean language course. It was only for completion, no pass or fail test. Most signs there were in English and pretty much everyone spoke English too, and were very nice.
Aw this is so cul
Thanks Anabelle :)
