What's this?

Details

Description
We are a small family consisting of my husband, me and our baby who was born on the 2nd December 2011. I am an English tarot reader and writer, who used to live in London working in the film industry. My boyfriend is a Turkish accountant with a love for çay and raki!
We are keen to bring a community vibe into our little flat; music, good food, laughter, dancing, group meditation... whatever, we'll see what talents and energies you bring. We are open to people from all backgrounds to share stories and mealtimes with. Bring your yoga mat and musical instrument if you have them!

Please note: We are not a guest house.

The town of Fethiye and the surrounding villages along the turquoise coast is a beautiful area with endless things to do. We can recommend the best markets, boat trips, scuba dives and absails, or walking routes and beaches if you are just looking for a relaxing way to spend your free time.

There is a dolmus (minibus - 3 mins walk) to take you into the centre of Fethiye, or you can walk in about 20-25 mins and lots of clubs and bars, shops and restaurants about 10 mins ride from our house.

Help
We need someone for 4-5 hours per day, 6 days a week and we prefer people to stay a minimum of two weeks. Long term volunteers are preferred.

We also are open to having volunteers over Christmas and would love to have you come and celebrate with us!

You would be helping to prepare meals, cleaning, helping with the baby, art projects and helping with weekly food shopping.

One of us smoke but not in the flat.

Accommodation
We have two spare rooms each with a double bed.
What else ...
You'd be expected to prepare breakfast and lunch for yourselves (and my 2 year old) and we usually take it in turns to make dinner.

I prefer volunteers to join in daily meditation, but it's not compulsory.

We had so much fun volunteering with Lauren, Nehir & Efkan! They are such a wonderful little family unit. We had many fun adventures with them and enjoyed spending time with them so much that we hardly considered it work. If you really want to connect with a creative and fun family while being able to explore the beautiful area around Fethiye then… read more

Maya and Josh were great with my daughter and really helpful around the house. They worked longer than was expected, contributed many delicious meals and were good company throughout their stay. I was also treated to their lovely singing voices, a very in depth tarot reading and a beautiful painting when they left.

Hey Lauren, Efkan, and Nehir!!
it was a lot of fun and thank you for hosting me :)
The family is young, open minded, and there were always things to talk about! I can't say that I know the city of Fethiye very well, but it was more important for me to spend time with the family and to get to know them better, and to help Nehir look for cats!

Amanda was a delight to host - very sweet and talkative with a dry sense of humour and lots of stories to tell. She was good with my daughter - dancing until she was ready to drop! I wish her all the best in her travels and her last year of studies and hope she comes again.

We couldn't have asked for a better first time workaway experience. We stayed almost four weeks with Lauren, Efkan and their beautiful daughter Nehir. We helped the family with anything that was needed from cooking, cleaning, or running errands and spent most of the time playing with Nehir. She was 20 months when we were their so you will need… read more

Amanda and Ben were excellent workawayers - they were great with our daughter; always playing with her and taking her off on adventures around the garden and to the park. They were so helpful, always taking the initiative and keeping the house clean or offering to do the shopping so that I could get on with my own tasks, and we often socialised… read more

We had a wonderful time with this family from the moment we arrived in Fethiye. Lauren and Efkan were very accommodating and their daugther, Nehir, was an absolute treat. The hours we spent with her flew by and we had plenty of time to explore the city and the beautiful hiking trails that surround it. We nannied in the mornings and had the… read more
