Share, create and enjoy life together in Ankara, Türkiye

  Description

  Hi! I live in Ankara and enjoy meeting people from different parts of the world, discovering different cultures and sharing experiences, ideas and good moments together.
  
  My life is a mixture of entrepreneurship, technology, artificial intelligence, education, creativity and new ideas. I work on different projects and I am naturally curious about people, cultures and the world. There is usually something new being imagined, researched or created around me.
  
  At the same time, I believe life should not be only about work. I enjoy good food, discovering new places, walking around the city, music, spontaneous plans, meaningful conversations and, most importantly, laughing together.
  
  I especially enjoy spending time with energetic, social, curious and open minded people. I appreciate people who have their own independence but also genuinely enjoy sharing life with others.
  
  Some days I may be very social and we might cook together, explore Ankara, meet friends, have coffee, go somewhere spontaneously or talk for hours. On other days I may be busy working and focused on my projects. During those times, you should feel comfortable enjoying your own time, exploring the city or working on your own projects.
  
  For me, Workaway is not simply an exchange of a few hours of help for accommodation. I see it as an opportunity for two people from different worlds to meet, learn from each other, create something, share cultures and hopefully build a genuine friendship.
  
  I am not looking for free labour, and I hope you are not simply looking for free accommodation. :) I am looking for a real human and cultural exchange.
  
  If you are curious, positive, independent, clean, respectful, energetic and enjoy both meaningful conversations and having fun, we will probably get along very well.
  
  Come with your stories, your culture, your ideas, your skills and your energy. Maybe you will teach me something, maybe I will teach you something, and hopefully we will both have some great memories to take with us.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  For me, cultural exchange is one of the most valuable parts of Workaway.
  
  I would be happy to introduce you to Turkish culture, food and everyday life, as well as a side of Ankara that visitors do not always get to experience.
  
  We can cook and eat together, explore different parts of the city, meet people, have long conversations and exchange ideas about our countries, cultures and experiences.
  
  I am also interested in technology, artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship, education and creative projects, so if you are curious about these subjects, there will probably be many interesting conversations and opportunities to learn from each other.
  
  But I also want to learn from you. Teach me something from your culture, cook something from your country, introduce me to your music, language, ideas or skills.
  
  I believe the best cultural exchange happens naturally, around a dinner table, during a walk, while working on an idea or through one of those unexpected conversations that lasts for hours.

  Help

  I am involved in several creative and entrepreneurial projects, especially in technology, artificial intelligence, education, media, design and digital production. If you have skills or interests in these areas, I would love to exchange ideas and create something together.
  
  Depending on your interests, you can help with research, social media, photography, video, design, writing, English content, brainstorming, testing new ideas or other creative projects.
  
  I also appreciate some help with normal daily life, such as preparing meals together, keeping shared spaces clean and tidy, occasional shopping and small household tasks.
  
  I am not looking for someone to simply complete a list of chores. I prefer people who are curious, energetic and naturally take initiative. If you see something you can contribute to, suggest it. I love learning from people with different skills, cultures and perspectives.

  Languages

  Languages spoken
  Turkish: Fluent
  English: Intermediate

  This host offers a language exchange
  I enjoy learning languages and exchanging cultures through real conversations. I would be happy to practice English and learn words or expressions from your language. In return, I can help you with Turkish and introduce you to the way people actually speak in everyday life. I believe language is best learned naturally, while cooking, having coffee, walking around the city, sharing stories or simply spending time together. If you enjoy language exchange, cultural conversations and learning through real life rather than textbooks, we will probably have a lot to share.

  Accommodation

  You will stay in my home in Ankara and have your own comfortable space for sleeping and relaxing. You will also be able to use the shared living areas, kitchen and other common spaces of the house.
  
  I want you to feel at home rather than like a guest in a hotel. At the same time, I value cleanliness, mutual respect and personal space. I sometimes work long and intensive hours, so there will be times when the house is quiet and we each enjoy our own space.
  
  You will have your own private room in my home, so you will have a comfortable personal space to sleep, relax or work.
  
  The house also has a balcony, which is a nice place to have coffee, sit outside, talk or simply enjoy some quiet time.

  What else ...

  Ankara is a large, lively city with many different sides to discover. During your free time, you can explore museums, historical areas, parks, cafés, restaurants, local neighbourhoods and the everyday life of the city. There are also many interesting places around Ankara for day trips.
  
  Public transportation is available and you can move around the city independently. I will also be happy to share recommendations and show you some of my favourite places when I have time.
  
  I sometimes have a busy work schedule, so I cannot promise that we will spend every day together. I actually think a good Workaway experience needs a healthy balance between sharing time and having your own independence. You should feel comfortable exploring the city, meeting people, working remotely, studying or simply enjoying some time on your own.
  
  When our schedules match, we can cook and eat together, go for walks, discover different places, meet friends, have coffee, enjoy the balcony, talk about life and ideas, or make spontaneous plans.
  
  You will have your own private room, so you will always have your own personal space. The house also has a balcony and Wi-Fi, making it comfortable if you want to relax, study or work on your own projects.
  
  I prefer a relaxed and friendly atmosphere at home, but cleanliness and mutual respect are important to me. I like people who naturally take care of the space they live in and treat the home as if it were their own.
  
  One small but important thing: you do not need to wait for me to organise your day. :) Bring your curiosity. Explore, create, meet people, work on your own ideas and enjoy Ankara. Then, when we come together, we will hopefully have even more stories to share.

  Can host digital nomads

  Digital nomads are welcome. I understand the need for quiet working time because I also spend a significant part of my day working on my own projects. There is Wi-Fi available in the house and you can organise your own working schedule during your free time. This can be a particularly good match if you work in technology, AI, design, media, marketing, education or another creative field, because we may also find interesting opportunities to exchange knowledge and ideas.
