Description
I have an ecohouse in the mountains of altinyaka in kumluca; south part of turkey. ( At the back of Olympus mountain)
I have been here for past 20 years and trying to leave of the road and have a sustainable life here.
There is a small garden and a lovely sitting area with a 360 dgree of mountain view, i have 3 dogs and 6 cats and finally a 3 floor house with planty of rooms.
I would love to have company of people around the world and live together for a while and exchange our culture and talk about everything.
We losted tree young dogs.The dogs had been poisoned and were found dead. It was very, very bad news. Oh, I'm so sorry.
We would like to build a gazebo, a bungalow house and a tree house in the forest behind the house.

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
1.Thank you very much to Workawayer Fraser. He built a very nice chicken coop. It needs to be fenced around. This is necessary to prevent foxes from digging under the fence and entering the coop. This is one of the important tasks that needs to be completed. 2..The wooden siding boards on the eaves have fallen off. New ones will be installed. (Not done yet). 3. The vegetable beds will be dug up and prepared for planting. (partially done) 3. The new shoots at the base of the trees will be pruned.(done) 4. Spring cleaning will be done at home.(done) 5. Garden vegetable seedlings will be planted. (In May)

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
As we are in a small village and everyone neighbour is native, so there is a lot of opportunities for cultural exchanges for you.
And also i try to make a permaculture here and you will learn how to survive by your self in nature and of course you can know everything you want from me like turkish traditional dishes and culture and organic fruits and vegetables.
Help
As i leave here alone, even though i have guests from time to time i can't do everything by my self. So i am in need of pretty much everything. Like weeding, pruning trees, harvesting, cooking, cleaning common areas, etc.
Even if you have any ideas about making here better you would more than welcome to do it.
