Description
We are happy to welcome workawayers who are willing to share their own culture with us and help our home schooler kids practice/learn different languages.
Hi! It's me, my husband Cipriano, our homeschooler kids,Helios (9) and Calliope (6) and our cats (the number changes all the time). We live in the Aegean Region in Turkey. We form a multi-cultural family, as I am Italian-Turkish and my husband is Spanish-French. We used to live in the north of France and have moved to Turkey 4 years ago.
We live and work in a beautiful house in the countryside surrounded by nature between vineyards, fruit trees, olive trees and sea. We always have many things to do at home and in the garden. We would like to host workawayers as it is very important for our family to meet people from different countries and cultures to keep a connection with abroad. We love traveling and sharing experiences and being with young people. We are passionate about art and sports. My husband and I love salsa dancing. I also perform theater jazz dance. I am a movement specialist and teach yoga, pilates, fitness classes to adults. I also love music; play the piano. Helios is a very active young boy; he swims, plays tennis, does aikido and gymnastics. He adores sewing and creating in many other ways. He plays the piano and drums.
Calliope is passionate about gymnastics and making new friends. We love cooking and baking together. We also spend lots of time drawing, on DIY projects and playing board games. They can speak Turkish, Spanish, French and English. They are both learning-enthusiasts.
We love meeting with friends and being in nature (woods, sea..)
We would like to host a workawayer who is loving, caring with the kids, and ready to spend quality time with them.

You are more than welcome to share a yoga, pilates or fitness session with me.
Cipriano is passionate about sharing his great knowledge on greek mythology and salsa dancing.
Helios loves teaching what he knows and talking.
