  • Description

    Hi, this is Bulent here. id like to meet up with idealist, open minded, respectful, curious, compassionate, free spirited, creative, joyful people. So far, most of the people i have met thru WA (hosts and workawayers) were like this and this has given me great encouragement to continue my ventures with WA. My mantra is, I want to be the best version of myself. Similar to many hosts that are very particular in accepting workawayers, I am also selective who i will be volunteering for. Since I will be spending a month or so in a farm and working like its my own work, I need sincere, honest, sharing and caring relationships around me.
    Working and living in nature thrills me even in winter. i am usually full of energy and joy with an appetite to work hard. I think the way we do things reflects our character.
    Being with friends, a community, or a social network and working for them makes my life meaningful. It has been little over 2 years since ı started volunteering, i gathered lots of experience on harvesting, planting, composting, veggy beds, repairing, carpentry, animal (dogs, cattle) care, climbing and pruning trees, vegan cooking and lots of this and thats.
    In Japan, i had a great experience of making a tree house which i am really proud of ( fotos in my pictures). I also very tecently finished a greenhouse from scrap materials. .
    Running, table tennis, stretching, calisthenics, swimming are my favorite activities. normally when i am in turkey i travel with my car from one permaculture farm to another to stay in each farm at least a month.
    So far i met lots of lovely people with whom i am still in touch and visit them from time to time. This workaway has been a real eye opener for me. its not a travelling but a life experience.
