Description

I'm Derya , Turkish, currently traveling between Turkey and Georgia.
I work in hospitality professionally and have for years. Front office, guest relations, boutique hotels. I know how spaces should feel and how to make them function. I also know when to disappear.
Outside of that, I have an academic background in organic agriculture, which means I understand gardens as systems rather than just aesthetics. I'm a practicing traditional astrologer : the old kind, with charts and actual technique, and a self-taught developer currently building a small AI project. Strange combination. It works.

What I'm good at
Cooking for a group is something I genuinely enjoy. I'm comfortable in a kitchen, good with local produce, and I like feeding people well. Beyond that, hospitality instincts, light gardening, keeping shared spaces functional, and being useful without needing to be told twice.
I work independently and quietly. I don't need entertainment between tasks.
What kind of exchange am I looking for
Somewhere real. A project with some logic to it, hosts who mean what they write, and enough breathing room to do my own work in the evenings. I'm good company when the night goes long, curious, well-read, occasionally useful on strange topics. I also know when to close a door and let everyone be.
