Description
Hello! My name is Esra Nur, I’m 22 years old and currently living in Istanbul, Turkey. I’m studying English Language Teaching at Istanbul Medeniyet University and have just completed my third year.
I’m an enthusiastic, friendly, and curious person who loves learning new things, discovering new places, and meeting people from all walks of life. I’ve lived in Istanbul my whole life, a magical city where East meets West, and growing up in such a multicultural environment has shaped my open-mindedness and deep appreciation for diversity.
At the moment, I give private English lessons to young children, and I truly enjoy it! I’ve also had lots of babysitting experience with my younger cousins over the years. Spending time with children brings me great joy! I love playing with them, helping them learn, and sharing meaningful moments together.
In my free time, I enjoy reading, watching films, following football, learning new languages, and traveling — both solo and with friends. I’ve already had the opportunity to visit Germany and the Netherlands, and this summer I’ll be volunteering as an English teacher in Torino, Italy, as part of a cultural exchange program with AIESEC. I’m really excited about it!
In addition to English and Turkish, I’m currently learning French and German, and I’ve also started learning some basic Italian to better connect with locals during my time in Italy. I’m deeply passionate about cultural exchange and love sharing my background, especially Turkish and Islamic culture, with others.
After my volunteering project in Italy, I hope to travel to Switzerland and continue gaining valuable experiences through Workaway. It has always been a dream of mine to visit Switzerland as a child, I was enchanted by the story of Heidi and often imagined the breathtaking mountains and charming villages. Now, I hope to see it in real life and contribute in any way I can!
I would be happy to help with:
Childcare and babysitting
Language exchange (English or Turkish)
Household tasks
Cultural sharing or simple teaching
Workshops and educational activities
My family and friends mean a lot to me, and I always strive to treat people with kindness, honesty, and respect. I believe Workaway is a wonderful way to connect, grow, and create unforgettable memories together.
Thank you so much for reading my profile, I hope to meet you soon! 😊 💫
