Description
Hey there! I’m Tugsah, a software engineer with a passion for building websites for big companies. When I’m not coding, you’ll likely find me exploring historical areas, hiking through nature, or soaring through the sky on my paraglider. I’m a curious, adventurous, and cheerful person who loves meeting new people and making memories.
I’m always up for trying new things, whether it’s trying a local delicacy or visiting a hidden gem. I love sharing my experiences and making friends from all walks of life. I’m a friendly, helpful, and sometimes downright crazy person who’s always open to new adventures.
I'm looking for a volunteer to help teach german. We are also open to those who can cook delicious meals. We are allergic to cigarette smoke, so we cannot host smokers. I love sharing what I cook, so you’ll always have plenty to eat. You will stay in a private room. You’ll have the chance to live in my home and experience the real Istanbul. I can’t wait to meet you and show you all that this amazing city has to offer! ❤️

Accommodation
You will be staying in a private room. You will be staying in a place where you can come and go as you wish. You will be in the city center, in a location with easy access to public transport and anywhere in Istanbul. I don't have time to cook, but you can cook for yourself in the kitchen if you wish. I always share what I eat. We don't have an elevator. The apartment is on the 2nd floor. We are allergic to cigarette smoke, so we cannot host smokers. Thank you for reading.

The rooms are spacious and the working hours are not too many so I could explore the city on my own time.
He is very good hosts and I recommend him.
He didn't have any guest the time I spend at his place, so I didn't have a lot of work to do, just some cleaning.
I had many times to visit around.
Thank you for everything Tugsah.
