Activities i am interested in:
Looking for places to escape from İzmir again, i got nothing planned yet and am open to ideas.
My next destination:
Sinop, Turkey - from Apr 2025 until Jun 2025 View all
Description
I work as a steel worker professionally and have a master's degree in jewelry design/crafting, which pretty much makes me a travelling craftsmen when i am travelling :). I can use most of common tools/items and am good at construction or repairs of different types (i dont like cement or plumbing but can do if needs be). Apart from that i can say i am getting good at animal care, bush craft, camping and helping around children thanks to workaway. I am fairly easy to get along with but people who are obsessed with a certain idealogy or who are always right, are the types i keep my distance from (i have neither interest nor time for conflict or stress). I like to be in places where there is mutual benefit, trust, respect and people are atleast tolerant to eachother's ideas. https://www.instagram.com/gunesmutlu3566/

Güneş is a hardworking and talented person who always goes above and beyond with any responsibility entrusted to him.

Aslı and John are some of the kindest people i have met and their place is a heaven. I stayed here in a private room with shared bathroom and we had a fully equipped kitchen/dining area for volunteers, Aslı would usually cook us delicious meals for dinner, sometimes even desserts. Unfortunately i had to leave a bit earlier due to a series of… read more

Güneş didn’t stay long but worked hard at whatever job we gave him while he was here. He is a quiet person but very likeable once you get to know him. I am happy to recommend him to other workaway hosts.

(Come to our permaculture farm ...)
This is one of the few hosts i visited which actually does permaculture and they do it considerably well with a few wallnut grove, a huge garden with lots of different crops and various animals. I stayed here about 3 weeks and i can say it was a nice break from chaos and usual inconviniences of travelling around Turkey. We had healthy food coming… read more

Gunes was a big help to us. At the time he got here we were starting a big building project. He took initiative to learn about the different techniques and processes, and after a few months was able to work completely independently, managing his time, tools and resources. His work quality was quite good, and he asked for help, advise and… read more

I stayed here about three months and i can say this was some of the best moments in my life. Yosun and Derin are special people, so is their place. I learned a lot here about a different way of life, animal love and ofcourse a ton of construction experience. I hope my effort here makes a difference and help this place grow into something bigger… read more

Güneş is a hard-working, talented person. He weld our cactuses trays in the greenhouse and even helped us to build one of our greenhouses. He has no problem learning something new and adapts himself real quick. It has been such a privilege to host him at our farm. I hope we'll meet again. Till that time, have a good one.

A proper workaway place, hours are fixed, people are friendly, easy to reach from İstanbul, and you get to stay in comfort of a 3 story villa! I spent a little more than 2 months here, perfect opportunity to learn about organic farming while meeting interesting people from different walks of life. Thanks to all my friends and colleagues i enjoyed… read more

Work is relatively hard for what a volunteer would expect, but everything worth the ordeal in the end. Beautiful nature, interesting people, usually peaceful and quiet. Pretty cool weather in the summer too. After staying here about 2 months I feel both mentally and physically more resilent. I would love to return to this place every summer.
