    Update!

    I ve just moved to an old stone house house in Kemalli village in Ezine, Çanakkale.

    I would love help with varnishing, painting, gardening, packing/unpacking, organizing the tools and storages. If you have carpentry skill you re a gem to me :) You can choose which tasks to perform and make your own work schedule.

    I have a baby. If you re interested in babysitting, that s among the tasks.

    I m new in the region myself and still discovering. Nearby my village, there are remnants of ancient settlements dating back to 500BC. And the beach is 6 km away. We can drive around.

    --------

    My house was left abandoned for some years. Needs renovation and refurbishment. I also don t have the furniture any more. It needs to be furnished.

    The pictures are from my house, from the times I lived there before.

    The neighbourhood is called Fener.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    You can learn about simple repairs in a house.

    My house is in one of the oldest settlements of Istanbul. The neighbourhood has a rich history. I often take walks and visit mosques, churches, hamams, fountains and libraries from different periods, and also local markets. You re welcome to join.

    Public transport connections are good. You can visit different parts of the city. You can take the boat to the Asian side or to the islands. I would gladly give you recommendations and tips about places to visit.

    There are many museums and galleries that are 15 - 20 min. away by bus.
