Daily life with a local in Lara, Antalya, Turkey

  Description

  Hi, I'm Yiğit. I was born and raised in Antalya, where my family and I still live, in Lara near the Mediterranean Sea. I studied Tourism and Hotel Management and Tour Guiding, and I work as a licensed tour guide.
  
  Travel has been a big part of my life for about 14 years. I've visited 55 countries and more than 500 cities, and I've lived in the USA, New Zealand, India and the Netherlands. One trip I still remember clearly was hitchhiking 10,000 km across India.
  
  We're looking for one or two people to help with gardening and outdoor cleaning at our home. We have welcomed many visitors from abroad, but this would be our first time hosting Workawayers. We enjoy meeting people and hearing about their lives and travels. If you're travelling as a couple, please get in touch so we can talk about the sleeping arrangements.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I grew up in Antalya and work as a licensed tour guide, so I'm happy to share what I know about the area and suggest places to visit. From Lara, you can walk to the seafront, cafés and restaurants.
  
  We have family and relatives around Antalya, and you may get to meet some of them during your stay. We have hosted visitors from other countries before and enjoy sharing everyday life here. I'd also like to hear about where you come from and what you've seen on your travels.

  Help

  We need help with the garden and outdoor areas at our home in Lara, Antalya. The garden is about 50 m². The tasks include clearing rubbish, preparing the soil, tidying the garden and cleaning and sorting a storage room. Some of the stored items may need to be moved.
  
  We are looking for one or two helpers. Couples can get in touch, and we can confirm the room arrangements before agreeing on a stay. No gardening experience is needed, but the work can be physical.
  
  We ask for 5 hours of help a day, Monday to Friday. Weekends are free. We provide a private room, bathroom and shower, Wi-Fi, breakfast and dinner. The house is about 50 metres from the sea, in Lara.
