I have done international logistics for many years and visited many countries in the world. England, France, Germany, Netherlands, Bulgaria, Malaysia, China, Morocco, Tunisia, Malta are among the countries I have visited. I enjoy meeting new cultures, different people and perspectives.
We live in a charming place in Istanbul with three floors, 7 rooms and a big garden. Our house is very close to Istanbul airport. I also host people to help my daughter meet new cultures and support our home budget with a new income. We are currently renting 4 rooms per night to foreign passengers coming from the airport.
We have a clean, friendly environment intertwined with nature. In our garden we have animals such as cats, dogs, chickens. In the summer we feed organic from our own garden.
We want our friend to stay with us to be one of our family.
