Inspired by poom-asi
In traditional Korean society, poom-asi (품앗이) was a beautiful custom of mutual labor exchange. When a neighbor needed help with farming or a big event, the community would come together to lend a hand, knowing that help would be returned when they needed it most.
We've brought this spirit into the modern age. poom is not just a platform; it's a digital reincarnation of this ancient wisdom, connecting global travelers with local hosts through the value of shared effort and hospitality.
