  Description

  Since three years I try to cultivate vegetables according to season while integrating wild flowers between the rows and other edibles herbs such as different sorts of basil in the near of the Mediterranean coast.
  For 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 in the ground floor of a old house at the edge of a 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 renting a tiny, but very beautiful piece of land here among pomegranate 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.
  
  We share the house with our neighbour who is also the house owner. A very gentle and friendly man with his family.

  Help

  I would be very grateful to have somebody supporting me with harvesting, preparing meals, spending time with our two daughters (13 and 9) and collecting fire wood in the forest.
  
  We also care for some horses, so you are invited to join when we are feeding and cleaning the horse site. Of course you can interact with them and even try to ride if you want to.
  
  I would be especially grateful 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 an (Electric) piano, violin, Darbuka and guitars.
