Description
Hello everyone,
We are thrilled to announce that we are once again welcoming Workawayers to join us in practicing English
We are a small family living in a completely green village just 15 minutes from the city center. We founded our NGO, Sustainable and Green Future Culture, Youth and Sports Association, to assist the rural community. However, we are currently on a break from our teaching English to kids activities. We are looking for workawayers to help with practicing English at home with my mother, Emine, and me, Okan.
As summer approaches, we will need assistance with basic farm tasks such as preparing the plant beds and watering. If we're going to be working on the farm, that means we'll be eating more. Be ready to eat and drink Turkish tea a lot! :)
We have welcomed almost 25 Workawayers so far, so we have experience in hosting people from all around the world. We are looking for young, energetic, and respectful individuals to join us, please do not forget that you are coming to a family house so there will be some rules to obey.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
If you are looking for a chance to live with a small family and learn Turkish culture, that would be a great opportunity. You will have a chance to taste a lot of Turkish traditional food. Our village where we live is not far from the city center so when you want to swim or discover the city, the bus stop is just a few steps away from our house or I can help you with it.
We love traveling so if you are willing to join us, you will also have a chance to explore our beautiful country.

*basic farm work, practicing English, and some household chores ( where you stay),

Accommodation
You will have a private room and your own keys to rest and relax. Privacy is important to us. The flat has 2 rooms (one for me (Okan) one for the workawayers, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom.
The Workawayers' room has a double bed, a desk and chair, and a small wardrobe.
Workawayers will be considered members of our family, so they don't need to worry about food. Most of the time, breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be provided. Additionally, we love eating in nature, so Workawayers will have the opportunity to enjoy some traditional foods and BBQ. If they prefer to eat alone or prepare their own meals, that's also okay. The flat has a kitchen, and they can cook as they wish.
What else ...
We only ask you to bring your smile with you and a bit of help.
