Description
Hello Workawayers!
We've been two very close friends since the age of 10. Doğa (24), graduate of tourism guidance department, Ece (23) graduate of international relations department. We live in a very charming town in the province of Balikesir in Turkey and also we are interested in healthy living and permaculture in Kazdaglari. We are looking for friends who can help us with this and at the same time we can have a good time together.
We are very friendly people. We love making new friends and getting to know different cultures. We believe that people can get to know each other better while working in a comfortable environment. Also, if you have any interests (such as yoga, meditation) we would love to benefit from your experiences. In fact, we want to organize an activity for children and help them adapt to different cultures. (flying a kite, painting, handicraft etc.). If you have a project that can be done in a large area, in the fresh air, do not hesitate to let us know in advance.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Our main goal is to share culture. We have so many traditions and legends to tell you. Also, if you are interested in Turkish cuisine (we think you should definitely do), we can show you that Turkish cuisine is not just about kebab. We are sure that you will love our kitchen. Likewise, we would like to taste your flavors. If you have a curiosity about learning Turkish, we can definitely help you with this.
Help
Our aim in this project in Kazdağlari, which has the richest oxygen value after the Alps, is to create a permaculture center suitable for the unique nature of the area. Here we are looking for friends who can plant fruit trees, various vegetables and flowers with us, who love nature and the soil and can give us ideas. We also expect you to help feed the geese, ducks, chickens and our dog, Leke, there. So if you like to learn about eco building, or if you know some about,, We will love to learn from you.

Accommodation
For accommodation, we have bungalows, tent area and caravan park. Bungalows are made of wood in order not to harm the nature and provide electricity with solar energy. There are two single beds in the bungalows, but if you want to stay alone, this is also possible. Showers and toilets are outside the bungalows in the common area and hot water for showers is also obtained by solar energy. You can cook your own meals in the kitchen or we can cook together.
We provide 3 meals a day.
What else ...
We will meet you at the airport and go to our accommodation. Since our accommodation is half an hour away from the city center, we can only arrange your transportation with our private vehicle. But don't let that scare you, we will always have a solution for your needs. There are many touristic and natural habitats in our region. (waterfall, canyon, peninsula and beach etc.) We will show you around here in your spare time. We will help you when you want to go to the city center. We believe that we can have a lot of fun together and we can add something to each other.
