Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
My place is close to historical places and city attractions. The time you will spare to me will be like 1-2 hours. Then you are free to enjoy your time either at home or outside. I have a 9-6 job. If it is weekend we can show you the city attractions. If it is weekdays, I can teach you Turkish, Turkish history and our current affairs with a cup of coffee
Help
I am trying to lose weight. We can laugh here. I need motivation. Anyone you can do exercises with me (if you are a trainer it would be much more better) or anyone who can go for a long walk with me or anyone you can cook meals counting grams and calories... These people are on top of my list. If you have the same problem with me it is OK. You can help with cleaning like vacuuming, taking the dust or ironing. If you know how to fix machines like dishwasher etc or how to fix tiles or paint walls you are on top of my top list :D:D I speak English but studied Korean at the age of 35. If you speak Korean, that works too.

At the age of 35 I studied Korean at a university. We can practice Korean if you speak Korean too. And I don't say no if you teach me Quran alphabet.
Accommodation
I don't use my sitting room. It is quite spacious. You will have two couches and a floor bed (if you like) and there is a wardrobe. Clean bed sheets, blankets, pillows, free wifi and access to disney plus channel and amazon prime video, 24 hours hot water. I buy the food and cook at home. If you apply for cooking then I will buy your food list. No pork no alcohol -Turkish culture you know. I don't smoke.
What else ...
You can walk but it is quite a long distance like 40 minutes but with transportation everyhere is like 20-30 minutes away from my place.

1) Hamamönü Street (historical site)
