Description
Hello, lovely travelers and volunteers! 😊
I am excited to open my home to like-minded individuals who enjoy sharing experiences, good food, and a warm environment. I live in a cozy apartment/house with my two adorable cats, Yoğurt and Mantı, who love cuddles and playtime.
Here’s a little about what I’m looking for:
Household Help: I’d appreciate your support with general housework, such as cleaning, organizing, and light chores to keep our space tidy and welcoming.
Cooking Enthusiasts: If you enjoy cooking or have a flair for preparing delicious meals, that’s a big plus! I love learning about different cuisines and sharing recipes.
In return, you’ll enjoy a comfortable stay, tasty meals, and plenty of time to explore the local area. I’m more than happy to recommend the best spots to visit and help you immerse yourself in the local culture.
If you’re an animal lover, have a cheerful spirit, and are excited to share stories and skills, Yoğurt, Mantı, and I would love to welcome you into our home! 🏡🐾
Let’s create wonderful memories together. Feel free to message me with any questions!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Staying at my home is more than just helping out—it’s about diving into the rich and vibrant culture of the Aegean region. Nestled in the charming village of Gülbahçe, Urla, my home offers a perfect blend of traditional Turkish lifestyle and warm hospitality. Together, we can explore the local flavors, from preparing traditional dishes like mantı and zeytinyağlılar (olive oil-based dishes) to enjoying fresh produce from the nearby Urla markets. Gülbahçe is a quiet coastal village with breathtaking views, serene beaches, and authentic local life. I can guide you to nearby spots like the Urla vineyard route, historical ruins, and the lively Urla town center.

Cat Care: Whenever I travel and will be away for a short time, I’m looking for someone responsible who can take care of my two cats, Yoğurt and Mantı. They are very friendly and enjoy having company, so it’s important to me to find someone who can give them love and attention while I’m away.
Creative Support: If you are skilled in design-focused programs (such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Canva, etc.) or have a knack for creative projects, I would absolutely love your help with some of my personal or work-related projects.

Accommodation
Although my home is a compact 1+1 apartment, I do my best to make it comfortable and welcoming for my guests. You’ll have a sofa in the living room to sleep on, and while it’s not a private space, it’s cozy and perfect for those who enjoy a simple and shared living environment.Please note that since it’s a small space, you won’t have a separate private area, but I’ll do everything I can to make you feel at home. If you’re someone who enjoys connecting, sharing spaces, and embracing a minimalist stay, you’ll feel right at ease here.One of the highlights of the accommodation is the balcony, where you can relax, enjoy the fresh air, or sip a cup of tea in the village.
What else ...
As I live alone, we’ll be sharing responsibilities for household supplies and groceries, especially for shared meals or items. I believe in creating a collaborative and supportive environment, and working together on these small things adds to the experience.
One of the things I truly enjoy is introducing my guests to my friends and community. Spending time here won’t just be about helping out—it’s also an opportunity to connect with locals, learn about the area, and build meaningful interactions that make your stay even more enriching.
While my home is located a bit away from the town center, I’m confident that transportation won’t be a major issue. There are ride-sharing and car rental services available in the area, making it manageable to explore or run errands. I’m always happy to help with tips and suggestions to make getting around easier.
