Description
I live near Fethiye, Turkey.
I was hit by a jeep, at the beginning of February, 2025. Family and friends found me a ground floor apartment so I could leave hospital.
On 31st July 2026, I moved to a 2-bedroom apartment. So, I can invite a Workawayer again.
The help I need is with unpacking in the new home.
We will discuss what is to be kept and what will be advertised for sale.
Most of my crockery is still boxed, what's being kept will need to be put in the cupboards.
I can't, yet, cook. You could suggest dishes which you enjoy. You would cook them and we will share.
If you enjoy cooking, then it would be great if you did some batch cooking and restocked.
There is even an outdoor kitchen with BBQ.
How do you know if you would be happy here:
You are organised and like organising.
You are good at discussion (we will decide together on so much... from what to eat for dinner to where to put the fabric conditioner).
I am a non-smoker. There is no smoking in the house.
Meanwhile, Çalis and Fethiye are outside the door. So, PLEASE make plans to go out and about to explore the area.... Or, just sit and look at the sea. I can recommend beaches to bake yourself to a frazzle or a cool, green place which reminds me of a corner of England. -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I am English and retired from teaching. But I don't have the time to offer formal language lessons in addition to general conversation practice.
This is a beautiful part of Turkey. Your help commitments can be arranged around trips to explore other regions of the country.
Our nearest town is Fethiye but popular places nearby include: Kayakoy, Gemiler Island and Çaliş Plaji. From the otogar in Fethiye it is possible to catch buses to destinations all over Türkiye. It is even possible to take a ferry to Greece. -
Help
In addition to the cleaning I can't emphasise too much the need to be flexible. A recent volunteer had a lovely way of sending me a message to tell me what had happened, so I could give a particular instruction. But she knew which details to keep till I got home.
In your first message to me, please tell me what you think my reason for having a minimum stay is. -

Accommodation
Accommodation is in private room.
Shared WC and shower.
Meals will be eaten together.
I'm happy to offer meat-free dishes but I am omnivorous. If you have any specific requests please make them before arrival.
We live as a family with give and take. But, I'm of an older generation and would prefer you to leave your phone behind at meal times... and other similar courtesies while you are a guest in my home. -
What else ...
These days, with the internet, you can research the areas which are of most interest to you personally. Just start with the place names I have listed.
But, nature worshipper, water enthusiast, thrill seeker, or history buff... all are well catered for here. -

He's exactly as he describes himself. Plus he's the most considerate person I've met in a very long time.
He's not fazed by the unexpected. He gets what he wants in the nicest possible way.

Well.... that host lost out!
I heartily recommend this couple.
They are friendly, conscientious and give thought to their tasks.
Because of their circumstances and Covid they couldn't spend nearly enough time with me. I hope that they will pass my way again.

They worked quietly and without fanfare but got the job done!
They did such a good job behind the scenes on my birthday that we were all able to take the next day off.
Again, it was a pleasure to host him.
He has a 'can do' attitude to everything. He never sat around waiting for instructions. I can give a perfect example:
I'd noticed a missing knob. Later, I was busy doing jobs of my own. He asked me if I knew where the glue was.
When we were preparing for dinner, I asked … read more
