I recently bought a 3-wheeled electric buggy. The original plan was simply to be able to drive Amber to the beach when it is too hot for her to walk.
But, Amber is a very cute dog and we are often filmed as we drive along. The buggy has had a hard life and would look a lot better with a respray.
Do you have the skills to prepare & paint?
Ordinarily, I'm looking for two different sorts of volunteers:
Firstly:
Know how to... dust... sweep and mop floors... polish windows...?
Are you Conscientious?
Persistent? Self-motivated but able to take instructions?
Cleanliness is paramount.
There's nothing very challenging about the work. It just has to be repeated and repeated...
If you can focus on the task while distracted by some of the most beautiful scenery then you will fit right in.
Or,
Do you have basic handyman skills?
In return, the food is home-cooked, delicious and plentiful.
Accommodation is in private room (with shower and WC along the hall)
Previously, we lived aboard a ketch, but we have now moved to a village near Fethiye.
A couple will be welcome, one of you needs reasonably good spoken English. Please send me details of your specific skills as the cleaner role only requires one volunteer.
Turkish volunteers very welcome as I need help learning your language!
Amber is a 7-year old labradoodle. She came to Turkey with me. She lives in the house and has access everywhere except the guests' bedrooms. If you are not comfortable with dogs, please do not apply.
I am a non-smoker. There is no smoking in the house.

Language practice
I am English and retired from teaching. I can provide more formal language lessons in addition to general conversation practice.
This is a beautiful part of Turkey. Your work 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 Turkey. It is even possible to take a ferry to Greece.
The house is situated in a farming area so there is always dust to clean up.
Native English and learning Turkish
Accommodation is in private room (with shower and WC along the hall)
Meals will be eaten together.
I'm happy to offer meat-free dishes but Amber and I are omnivorous. If you have any specific requests please make them before arrival.
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.
