Description
I will be in Fethiye until mid December.
Looking for a host afterwards for 7/10 days (I have a limited amount of time) preferably in the South-West part of the country

Hello!
I'm an Italian woman, 38 years old, part-time traveler.
I'm keen to learn different cultures, approach to life, get to know stories and people; that's why I'm on Workaway.

DISCLAIMER:
I don't have any fixed travel plans (yet), I can potentially go anywhere as long as I find an interesting project to get involved with.
I'm particularly interested in working in farms with animals. I have some experience with chickens, goats, cows, sheep, donkeys, horses.
I prefer small places close to nature rather than big cities (I think 10 days in a big city is enough!)

I enjoy physical and outdoor tasks, and I don't mind getting dirty.

I had a Workaway experience in Ecuador where I had to let students from all ages to speak in English and I had a blast! I've learnt so much about local culture! I'd love to repeat that!

I'm using Workaway also to be inspired by others, to learn new things and acquire confidence in new skills

I don't mind if we don't share the same language; willingness to listen, understand and connect overpower (sometimes) language knowledge.

I have some experience in the hospitality industry as a waitress, bar-tender and cafè employee; I love interacting with people and contribute for them to have a good time!

I had the perfect Workaway experience at the finca; I've been there for about three weeks in October, helping in the morning with the land, and with the donkeys in the afternoon (never more than five hours in total per day). Ernst and Ina are very kind hosts: I've been introduced to many facts about the donkeys and the island, and thanks to Ina… read more

Garry is very likely one of the most generous person that you can find in Sweden. He accepted my last minute request without hesitation, he invited me to his house where I was free to move as I pleased, he's been super accommodating when taking me to and from the train station, and he offered me great company, with many interesting discussion and… read more

Arianna came to stay just for a couple of days because she was stuck for a place to stay. At the time I didn't have any work for her but she was a very nice person and we have good conversation. I'm sure that she is a good workaway.

Arianna stayed for a few weeks when I unfortunately wasn't at home so much. She has a really good work ethic and I'm really grateful for all the effort she put in. Arianna works best with structure and will tell you if she doesn't want to do a job. She is really chatty and curious about learning different cultures. I wish her the best on the rest… read more

I've stayed with Jimmy for about two weeks, during a quite unfortunate time, because Jimmy was very busy with his work. On one side this is great because you have the opportunity to work indipendently and manage your timing around the work as you want, but at the same time it has been difficult for me to communicate with Jimmy about the job needed… read more

Probably I shouldn't say it, but my experience with BilgeHan (I'm still strugglin' with his name!) has been more a Couchsurfing one than a Workaway exchange! BilgeHan rescued me from not having a place where to stay in Turkey, he provided a wonderful accomodation in his place outside the center of Istanbul (you have to see with your own eyes to… read more

This wasn't my first experience on Workaway but for sure has been my truly first Workaway experience, and the best "reward" that I got is that after months I'm still in contact with "my host", Deniz. I've volunteered at Pendaya for almost a month from around the half of the past September. I'm writing this feedback more as a "guideline" for… read more Workawayers that are thinking about volunteering at this place, to let them know what they should expected to experience here (at least based on my experience). First of all I'd like to say that my volunteering experience hasn't always been easy, sometimes there have been misunderstandings, changing of ideas, and not very good planning (in my opinion :D) so at times I've felt a frustrated when trying do to something; also, don't expect to work on a schedule, sometimes you'll work more hours, sometimes less, but Deniz and her mother will always appreciate your work! What I wish for this place is that only people with an open heart will visit and stay here, because every people that I've met has been incredibily kind; the neighbors that visited us with traditional sweets, the incredible hard working women (including Deniz mum) that run the restaurant... The cultural exchange is real and spontaneous, Deniz and her mother really want you to experience the Cypriotic traditions and to discover the island; despite being busy with her job Deniz is always willing to take you everywhere you'd like to go (also on a trip on the Greek side of the island), and you can count on her best effort to solve every problem that you may have (at the times Internet wasn't available in the house but just outside in the garden, and she took her time to try to fix this; I don't know how things are going now though).
Thisis the first time that I've experienced how to enjoy the company of someone despite not being able to fully communicate because of the barrier language: my fondest memories are the ones when I've shared, in silence, a pomenegrate with Yuliana (an incredibly sweet and kind Turkish woman that work there), after a hard job, and when I went to the market with Deniz mum (she can speak English, but sometimes we couldn't understandeach other). All these people are very kind, but you have to fully embrace this experience, occasional frustrating situation included, to really appreciate it, and I hope that everyone that will visit Pendaya will have the same experience as me.

I've spent about six weeks at this place; it was (very low) season, so there wasn't much to do (not to mention the horrible weather), but staying with Sophie and Marilyn made my experience here easy and enjoyable. Thanks to them I've learned how to clean at a very high standard levels, but most of all I've enjoyed their company, the chats, laughs… read more

Ruth and John are amazing people, and a beautiful couple. Thanks to them my unxpected journey in Wales had a very happy ending, full of special memories, even if I stayed just for a week (because it was an emergency last minute Workaway solution).
The place where they live is beautiful and peaceful, in the middle of nature with plenty of space.… read more

Arianna stayed for 2 weeks during April and worked really very hard - got on with all the project tasks on the list from her own enthusiasm, without me needing to say anything at all. She really worked well and, although unskilled in some tasks, she did her very best effort in everything. I was surprised by the great number of project tasks she… read more
