  Description

  I am Humeyra Akdagli. I have been a primary school teacher for 12 years. I live alone in Pendik on the Anatolian side of Istanbul.
  
  I work between 13.30-18.00 on weekdays. My school is close to my home.
  
  My home is in the city center and 3.5 km from the beach. You have to walk 15 or 20 minutes to see the sea. We mostly use the metro and Marmaray for fast transportation in Istanbul. And both of these transportation vehicles are about 20 minutes away from my home on foot.
  
  Mostly Bosnians live in my neighborhood. It is a very safe and fun place. There are many traditional Bosnian restaurants on the street I live in. My apartment is a family apartment and has a total of 4 floors.
  
  I can speak a little English. First of all, I am looking for a friend who can improve my language skills. I also need a helper who can do light housework. I should also mention that I am only looking for female workawayer.
  
  It would also be wonderful if you could visit my school once a week and spend a few hours with my students\. They would be very happy to meet you, learn about your culture, and practice English with you\. I believe this would be a meaningful experience for both you and my students.
  
  I hope you will treat my home as your own and do things you would do anywhere else, such as tidying up the kitchen after meals, keeping your bedroom and toilet clean. You can also cook some traditional food. I am not very good at cooking. I would love to taste your cultural dishes.
  
  Please remember: NO OUTSIDE GUESTS. NO PETS, NO DRUGS, NO SMOKING.
  
  I love traveling and have visited many countries. When I was a student, I lived in Belgium for about 5 months. So far, I visited many countries such as Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Hungary, Austria, the Czech Republic, Greece, Bulgaria and Portugal. I am an open-minded person. If you are my guest, you will have a private bedroom and a shared kitchen and bathroom. I have Wi-Fi.
  
  Istanbul is a beautiful and crowded city with historical and cultural places. You can easily reach many places you want to visit. I can help you with your travel plans as much as I can.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I think we can have fun together if you are my guest. We can cook something traditional and maybe play some music. (I play guitar and I have friend who play traditional guitar. ) If there is time, we can travel together. If you want to see it, we can visit my school where I work and my students. In this way, I would like to introduce my students to people from different cultures. I want to make them visionaries. And also, I hope to improve my language skills and get to know different cultures.
