****For 2024 Autumn and Winter application of voluntering****
Hi dear Workawayers,
We are a couple whose name is Coşku and Ahmet. We rent an old historical big house 6 years ago in İzmir. We have renovated it and started to run as a hostel. At the beginning we had lots of things to do. Construction, painting, designing the rooms etc. Now we have small things to do. Sometimes toilets and showers needs to be repaired or kitchen stuff. We spend most of our working hours to welcome guest and prepare a best place for their stay. We are doing regular cleaning everyday. We have a nice garden with lots of fruit trees and flowers. We take care of them, giving water when they need it.
First two years we lived one of room in the hostel. After that we rent the house that just front of the hostel, Ahmet and me started to live there.
İzmir is a lovely city. If you want to give a break for your trip in this city, our place is the best. You can help us and enjoy the city. We host lovely travelers all around the world. You can spend time with them. You can go to historical places around İzmir and beaches as well.
****What will we need help for?***
We are changing the design of few rooms. We will need a hand for it. We will accept handy guys :) If you have experience construction field like wood work, painting walls, working with cement and brick, carrying heavy staff feel free to send us a message.
We need someone who is good at creating social media attractions like taking good photos and videos to share on instagram.
If you like entertain the people you are welcome to join us. For example if you like to dance and show some figure to us and guests, this can be nice way to spend time in the hostel during the cold days and evenings in front of the fireplace. Or you can be a singer and musician. You can share your music with us and we can dance or just spend nice time together in our garden.
Normally we have cleaning lady. She is working 6 days in a week. On December, she will leave until March. We will need help for the cleaning. Like changing the bed sheets, vacuuming the floors, cleaning the toilets and the laundry...
If you are a social people who like to chat with guests and the main staff and at the same time you want to feel to be in nature in the middle of the town you will really like our place.

Travellers can learn many things from our place. Here is very peaceful. They will learn many things without any effort. We are learning together. We are respectful with each other and to the nature. We dont use any chemicals in our hostel. We prepare our own washing powder and cleaning staff.
We use olive oil soap, baking soda and ashes for the cleaning. We recycle our rubbish. We prepare breakfast every morning for us and our guests. They are all organic and homemade. We prefer to shop locals instead of supermarkets. We have a small garden and many fruit trees and plants. We live with them in a harmony.

Was noch ...
There are nice city park, 5 min. walking distance from our place. It is very green. If you do jogging you love that park. It has very nice running path under the trees. The volunteers can go there by walk. In addition, there are very nice beaches, historical sites, forests, lakes and waterfalls nearby İzmir. They can go there by public transportation or hitchhike easily. And we have a big car. If they have driving license, they can use our car for travelling in the city when they have off day. We have bikes in our hostel. İzmir is the easy city to bike. There is a bicycle road along the coast at the center.

In the very middle of Izmir, you will find this wonderfully quiet place when you want to take a step back from the big city.

Just imagine to be at that point you can't keep on having the same lifestyle, you are not experienced about travelling for a long time and you have never tried big city life longer than one month. Coşku and Ahmet made it possible from november 2020 to january 2021. Words can't describe what the place is.

My feedback is going to be different, because I helped the hostel owners with a temporary side-project (woodworking / floor construction) in their house.
As far as I understand, usually workawayers work in the hostel as the receptionists.
I stayed at the Hostel for less than 2 weeks.
In general, it was an excellent experience… read more
