Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Travelers who join us will benefit greatly from an authentic cultural exchange experience in Istanbul, one of the world's most historically rich and vibrant cities. By staying with our family, you will have the unique opportunity to:
Learn Turkish Language and Culture: Immerse yourself in the Turkish language through daily interactions with our family and the local community. Gain insights into Turkish customs, traditions, and daily life, enhancing your cultural understanding and linguistic skills.
Explore Historical and Cultural Sites: Istanbul is a city that straddles two continents and is filled with UNESCO World Heritage sites, such as the Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, and the Blue Mosque. You’ll have the chance to explore these incredible sites and learn about the city’s rich history firsthand.

Help
We are looking for a Workawayer who is enthusiastic about cultural exchange and has a good command of the English language to help our son enhance his English skills. Ideally, you would spend a few hours each day engaging him in fun, educational activities that encourage language use, such as reading stories, playing games, or exploring Istanbul’s rich cultural sites together.
In addition to language practice, we would appreciate some light help around the house, such as meal preparations or tidying up, which would be part of our everyday family activities. Your insights and experiences from your culture would be greatly valued, as we hope to learn as much from you as you will from staying with us.
We believe this opportunity is perfect for someone who loves interacting with children and is looking for a cultural immersion experience living with a local family in Istanbul. We are excited to welcome you into our home and share our lives with you!
