    Description

    Dear traveler,
    I’m a former traveler who is exploring slow living and rooting in this season of life. I live with my partner and our 6 month old baby boy in Avanos. We are a 10 minute ride from the center of cappadocia.

    I like gardening, hiking in the valleys of cappadocia, cooking, learning about healing powers of herbs. And as of March, I’m discovering instinctive motherhood with my lovely son. My partner is an architect and he running his family business in tourism while also contributing to sustainable and local development of his village.

  • Help

    Help

    We already have a helper that comes to clean our house twice a week. So this opportunity does not require so much work inside the house. We have chickens, and would appreciate some help with them, making sure they have water and feed. We have some plants in the garden that need to be watered. We have a dog and I don’t have so much time for her at the moment with a baby, so I would be happy if someone can take her on walks around the house. And it would be a plus to have someone for language practice, Spanish or French.
