  Description

  Hello dear human fellows, nature lovers!
  I was born and raised in Belgium and mainly lived in Europe.
  Seven years ago, I decided to go live closer to nature and simplify my life style, that's how İ landed in the south of Turkey.
  My project is to create a safe and self-sustainable space for people to gather around creativity with authenticity as a core value. I planted some fruit trees and plan to start a small vegetable garden.
  I am in the process to find local helpers to transform the tiny house that desperately needs some repair...
  I still live in the city, 50 km from the garden and I go there 2 or 3 times a week.
  My aim is to move there soon enough, take care of the land and organize small events around sound, jam sessions, movements, breath and basically live together with friends, then what is needed will show up.
  I like to meet new people and practice languages, share our talents and stories, cook together, go on a hike or chill by a waterfall. This region is fabulous, with the Mediterranean sea boarded by high mountains full of canyons and rivers, forests.. People here are welcoming and warm hearted...I feel very lucky.
  The land is next to a river, in a small village with forests around.
  İf you are a little handy, can help with wood construction or some repairs or if you know about sustainable living, would love to get some advice and help from you.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We can practice some french, turkish or english and revisit the pedagogy of learning new languages, exchange about our travel and life experiences, learn from local farmers how to make smart food. The city is close by and offers lots of opportunities to socialize. I have some experience in Council (circle ways) and non violent communication, a practice that helps to build trust, learn to express clearly your needs and can help resolve miscommunication.

  Help

  gardening ( permaculture, collecting seeds, preparing food for the winter), building small wooden structures, carry water from the source near by, the tasks is not heavy and doesn't require long hours.
  Also, would love an artist to paint the concrete pathway and parking lot with some organic natural drawings.

  Accommodation

  The tiny house is 30 m2, has a small kitchen and bathroom, its like a studio. You can also camp in the garden or by the river, we have all the material for camping .
  I m mainly vegetarian and prefer not having meat cooked but at rare occasions I can make exceptions.
  I can offer 2 meals per day and would enjoy cooking together and share once in a while.

  What else ...

  The land is half hour from the airport and the city, there are buses twice a day and I can also give you a ride.
  the nature around is great for biking, hiking, swimming in rivers or bathing by a waterfall near by.
  for history lovers there are few archeological sites less than an hour away, some caves are also part of the landscape.
