  Description

  Between citrus fruit trees - with the little help of my daughters 12 and 7 -
  we cultivate vegetables according to season while integrating wild flowers between the rows and other edibles herbs such as different sorts of basil. I like to collect wild herbs in the mountains and in the forest and integrate them in our Daily meals.
  For all these activities I prefer working in a team, while sharing our knowledge, interests, questions, different point of views, cooking recipes, language skills, laughing and dancing and playing instruments, practising yoga

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We live at the edge of a vast forest very close to the Mediterrenean sea. If you walk slowly through this abundant forest, it may take you around 25 minutes to arrive at a quite natural beach.
  We are blessed to care for a very beautiful piece of land here among citrus and olive trees. I exclusively apply organic methods as diversive as possible. I consider myself a learner in this field. Mother nature is my most significant teacher.
  
  The house is around 15km outside of Fethiye which is a very interesting cultural and historical city. From there the ancient Lykia way starts all his way up and down and straight to Antalya. My husband has to go to Fethiye every once in a while, so you can join there if you want to experience Mediterranean Turkish City life.

  Help

  I would be very grateful to have somebody supporting me with harvesting and preparing meals. Throughout the year we are collecting wood for the open fire stove in Winter.
  I would be very grateful too if you could interact with the girls, teaching and showing them your perspective of life and your skills and language. If you like to sing or play an Instrument you are more than welcome! We have a piano, violin, Darbuka and guitars.
