Description

Hello everyone :)
My name is Murat. I am from Istanbul. I am a friendly and sociable person who loves travelling. My main goals of travelling are to explore new places, to make new friends, to volunteer and to learn about new cultures. I grew up in Black Sea Region where I got experience in picking local products such as citrus, hazelnut. I love helping people as well as spending time with them. I have been volunteering for organisations, NGOs, hostels and farms in the past years. As I volunteer, I learn a lot of new things related to farming, Permaculture as well as hospitality industry(hostels.) My profession is cameraman/newsman. I had an awesome guest relations experience with my brother during our hotel management term for a period of time. In addition to these, I have enrolled number of demanding workshops in the name of personal development such as cooking as well as animal care. Since I love horses, from time to time I have been helping a friend of mine taking care of his horses. So, I am readily available to give you a helping hand. I like volunteering and spending some time abroad. I love nature and animals.

Hi! This is Murat. I'm originally from Istanbul. I've been travelling and volunteering in the past three years. I've been learning Russian, because I really like it's sound. Although, it's grammar is quite hard to learn, I'm still eager to learn it. So, I really appreciate if I could find a language buddy on the way ;-) Please, let me know if you are interested in exchanging your Russian for my Turkish / English. I'd be more than happy to help. Cheers!

I really enjoyed to volunteer for Lena although, I stayed for a short period of time. She's a really great host. She told us city attractions and natural places. I enjoyed discovering some similarities to our popular city, Bodrum. I even met some Turks there! :) Thanks for this amazing experience Lena.

Although, I could spend a short period of time with this nice family, that was enough to discover how friendly, welcoming they are. Lea, Christian are building an amazing place for their family from a scratch right there in the forest. They have been doing a lot of things to have a sustainable off the grid project. And, they are doing pretty well. … read more

I volunteered at Milton's place to help other staff members for running the hostel. The duties weren't hard at all. It is one of the best workaway experiences I have had. Himara is one of the greatest spots I have been in Albania. It's an undiscovered paradise with nice and clean beaches, it's friendly people and it's green nature. I would like to … read more

Murat is the kind of workaway volunteer you hope everyone will emulate. He has a great attitude, was interesting to talk to, fun to be around but also independent. We really tried our best to get him to stay longer:) But he is also very responsible and had already committed to another location and Murat is a workaway who keeps his word! We … read more

I was volunteering for Shawn and Kyle for a few weeks. I wish, I had more time, so that I could do more for their agro tourism farm. It's one of the most unique projects I have ever taken part. I am sure, their project would bring a different aspect to the city, since there is nothing similar there. They are easy going and cheerful people. Thank … read more

We were very happy that Murrat stayed several weeks in our children's village. He came with many ideas and he was totally flexible in regard to his tasks. So don't be surprised if he offers you help in the kitchen, in renovation, in video shooting or in environmental matters. He has plenty ideas of how to make our children as well as our staff … read more

First of all, I would like to thank to Nicole for giving me a chance to volunteer for her great organisation. She deserves a big appreciation for this initiative which she brought into life from a scratch. She literally set up a small village, most are with multiple disabilities. Now, she is the mom of more than 20 children. It was a great honor … read more
