Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I don't work till September, I ve plenty of time for the short tours in my city, Bursa. As I mentioned,it is a historical city and has lots of tourist attractions. We love visiting museums, public gardens and parks. In addition, if desired, we can cook traditional meals because i love exchanging cuisines! We can also share our folk tales and maybe folk songs and dances:) my husband plays the "baglama", a traditional Turkish instrument, and he is eager to help you learn how to play it.
I love learning new cultures, exchanging traditional food, tales, dances and games for kids music.

I am interested in daily usage in languages that is not mentioned in the language books. I especially would like to learn idiomatic expressions that are used commonly by the natives of English language and compare them with Turkish expressions. I am also fond of learning new languages.
Accommodation
There is one available room in my flat. We d appreciate to host you in that private room, Normally our study room but there is a cosy sofa, 2 armchairs, a drawer which can be used for clothes and other stuff.
There is only one bathroom and toilet at home.
What else ...
My flat is near the city center. You can get there in 15 min. On foot. There are also a lot of public transportation choices.
Bursa was one of the capital cities of the ottoman empire so there are a lot of historical places to visit. There are also seaside places and beautiful lakes that you can visit by public transportation.
There are plenty of museums and gardens. Mt uludag is one of the biggest national parks in Turkey and you can get there easily by cable cars; it is only a few minutes to get the cable cars from my house. If you are interested there are many endemic plants in the Mount Uludag.
We usually sleep at 23.00 so I kindly ask you not to be too late for the arrivals and no extra visitors at home.
