Description
Hello Workawayers, I'm Sezer 38 years old professional Chef. I was born in Istanbul, Turkey and I've traveled, lived, worked, volunteered all over the world. Now I'm back to town where I grow up that is Alanya. Since I decided to settle down here, I don’t have the luxury of travelling and experiencing different cultures at where they belong. So I’m hosting volunteers to quench my thirst for learning and meeting new people.
I've studied culinary arts at Miami, US also worked there in high end kitchens. I've been professionally cooking for more then 10 years and I've been teaching cooking professionally for 2 years.
Alanya is a touristic city by the Mediterranean sea. I'm just launching a new business and need some help and assistance. It's an online groceries e - business which is run by me. We are providing food from farm to homes all around Turkey. Business is growing organically and fast. Need fast paced people.Types of help and learning opportunities
GardeningDIY and building projectsCreating/ Cooking family mealsHelp around the houseHospitality/TourismGeneral MaintenanceHelp with Computers/ InternetCultural exchange and learning opportunities
I'm enthusiastic about learning new cultures so I'll be more then happy to help you with Turkish culture and learn about your culture.
I've lived and worked with people from all around the world. I know a lot and I'm excited to learn and teach more about different cultures.
Workawayers could learn about the local culture, local language, see the local daily activities.
If you are lucky, in your time, workawayers could attend in a local wedding party, birth celebration or funeral ceremony.
I can teach workawayers Turkish cuisine.
3 meals a day will be providedHelp

Immediate help required. Can be a long term paid position for right person.
If not, no need to apply until further update
*️️️️*️️️️Please be sure that I'm not offering payment to every volunteer. .Payment is an option for volunteers with only skilled profession. Please do ask in advance if you are willing to get paid. *️️️️*️️️️
We would never ask anyone to do something that they don’t find appealing to them and we try to find different tasks for everyday so you don't get bored by doing same task everyday. If you tell us a bit about yourself and what you are hoping to gain from this experience, i am sure we will find the most convenient and comfortable way for you to help us.
I'll be helping and explainig what to do and/or I might be working with you so no worries about how to help.
During long stays we can work your schedule to have 4-5 off days so you would have time for yourself and/if you want to travel around and see other parts of Turkey.
In winter (November - February) it might be rainy and we might need to work outdoors. Bring appropriate gear for outdoor work(raincoat, rain proof shoes, etc..)
