Hi everyone! My name is Hakan. I’m a Turkish and an American citizen. I’ve been in the hospitality industry since I was 16 years old. I moved to United States when I was 20 and lived in Boston, Mass on and off about 16 years. I also lived in Bratislava, Slovakia about a year or so. I love traveling and been to more than 30 countries. I own a 20 rooms hotel also recently purchased a land where I would like to build a green house to grow our own vegetables and Geodesic Dome for meditation, yoga, art gallery etc. Olympos is a small ancient town about 80 km from the Antalya city center. There are local buses from Antalya bus station every 30 to 60 minutes.
The history about olympos is dating back to late 4th century. Olimpos is also on the famous The Lycian Way Trails which is about 500 km long stretches along the Mediterranean coastline. You can do rock climbing , scuba diving, canoeing , partying (bunch of local and national bands has concerts during the summer) also olympos hosts bunch of mind body wellness festivals, healing festivals music festivals etc. our beach is amazing you walk through ancient ruins surrounded by beautiful pine trees and you can enjoy the blue and the green at the same time.
I have a couch surfing account and I hosted many travelers when I lived in United States and Slovakia. Since I own a hospitality business I can no longer offer a couch for the fellow travelers but I can offer fellow workaway members a food and shelter exchange of knowledge or work. Depends on your knowledge and experience you can help with gardening, cleaning, preparing or cooking food for stuff and family, teaching language, art, music or anything that you are good at. I do have a 5 years old son and if you like children you can help babysitting as well. I want all of you to know that I’m not looking for a free worker! I can afford an employee and I will have 2 paid employees for cleaning and serving duties. I will be managing the hotel with my girl friend and my best friend. We are all chefs and we make our own jams, olives sour dough bread and many other things and we work with local growers so we can get the freshest fruit and vegetables for our guest and ourself.
