    Description

    Hello, I live alone at the extreme edge of the Datça peninsula, situated on the edge of the Aegean Sea in the southwest of Turkey.

    I am looking for a workawayer who would be interested in helping me with general house maintenance and gardening around my village house. Additionally, I have an almond field where I need to do pruning, collect the wood, bring it home, and prepare it for use in the stove. Some façade work (pointing the stone wall) on a house in another village may also be included.

    It will be a dynamic job, not really planned — we will go with the flow, with no rush and no pressure. Some fun tasks might be added if the motivation comes, such as building a wooden wrigglers farm or a wooden dehydration oven. More details will be shared if interested. It’s a very cool place and will be even better with your contribution. I am open to language exchange as well.
