  Description

  Hello! I’m Ercan, a 46-year-old living in Turkey. I run an online education company, focusing on English language courses. My wife, Nursel, has recently retired after a long career as a nurse, and we both enjoy meeting new people and sharing cultural experiences.
  
  We are a friendly and easy-going couple who love to explore new places, cook, and learn about different cultures.
  
  The schedule is quite flexible, about 2/3 hours a day during the week. In return, we offer a welcoming environment where you can learn about Turkish culture, enjoy delicious homemade meals, and become part of our family.
  
  If you enjoy meeting new people, are responsible, and want to have fun while helping out, we would love to host you!
