We had such a wonderful experience here in Isparta! One of the best workaway experiences we've had for sure.

When Mahdi enters a room he brings joy and energy with him. We wish he could stay more, and we hope he can come back some day. Mahdi is an extrovert person, up for new things (that's the spirit!), and we all enjoyed his company and his art of music a lot.
Hope you enjoy your travel Mahdi, hope to see you again :)

Andrey & Arthur were with us for approximately a month, and we really enjoyed their company. Not only they helped us while they were staying here, but also they helped us with our social media when they were already gone, and that's so kind of them. We definitely recommend to host these lovely people.

Work is, basically, playing games, talking to local people, helping them practice English (and sometimes other languages you share with them) and a little bit of cleaning. Muhammet and his friends are very nice an helpful.
