Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
İzmir is a nice city with seashore and historical places. İt’s the third biggest city in Turkey. There are many bars, clubs, site-seeing, resaurants, shopping, bazaars, etc in İzmir. The weather is usually sunny. Seferihisar , çeşme/Alaçatı , Kuşadası are not far to us. Also Efes and Şirince is so close to İzmir. If you like history and villages you will have lots of fun. You can go Bodrum easly for weekends. if you want to go to Kios (a nice Greek Island) from Çeşme it takes 15 minutes by ship.(and it is also cheap). If you want to go Samos (Anoyher Greek İsland) you can get a feryy. (It is also cheap) One weekend you can go to Pamukkale, Kapadokya or İstanbul. We can help you with bookings or working out how to navigate İzmir.

Help
We live ın Izmir. Atlas is a happy kid. We expect you to play and talk with him in English. We want him to learn English from a young age. So if you plan to apply for this voluntary job you have to speak English very well. İt would be great if you also wanted to take Atlas out to the parks around the corner as well. Atlas likes playing Lego, learning space, riding bike, starwars, science.
Otherwise, as explained above, just helping us improve our English.
We don’t smoke. So, we only expect non-smokers. Thank you for your understanding. Also no pets allowed because Atlas is allergic.
