Travel information

I am currently

Description

Hello! My name is Özge, a 20-year-old engineering student in Ankara, capital of Turkey. I have a passion for traveling and exploring new cultures. I'm trying to travel as much as possible during the my education life.

Learning isn't just about the classroom; I believe life itself teaches valuable lessons. For example I'm the team leader at software department in unmanned aerial vehicles club in my university but until last summer, I had never met people from 18 different countries, singing songs around the fire and listening to their life stories.

Last summer, when I have gone to abroad for the first time of my life as a backpacker, I realized there is a huge real-world experiences, and thanks to Workaway I can experience many different projects around the world. I really want to be part of cultural exchange while I'm learning different skills from projects and people.

As an engineering student, I'm good at in problem-solving and critical thinking. Fluent in Turkish and intermediate in English, want to develope my language skills while learning new ones during travels. Travelling is a deep passion for me; I love exploring different traditions and cuisines. I believe every new people is new world and and this reality is priceless

I look forward to sharing experiences and forming meaningful connections during Workaway journeys

More details about your skills

Childcare and Teaching:
My ability to connect with children is one of my strengths. I have always had a natural rapport with kids, which has been further developed during my stays with host families. Additionally, I worked at a children's playground for a year, where I not only interacted with children but also taught them English. Being a part of a family, even temporarily, is a special experience for me.

Gardening:
I may not be an expert, but I am a quick learner. Summers spent at my grandmother's place have instilled in me a love for gardening and a deep understanding of plant care. Given the opportunity, I am confident that I can bring this passion and ability to any gardening project.

Hospitality and Hostel Operations:
Having worked in various hostels across Europe, I am good at in hostel operations. I have interacted with many people, assisting both guests and managing day-to-day hostel activities. My experience includes tasks such as cleaning, cooking, and reception duties. This experience has taught me valuable skills in customer service, problem-solving, and multitasking.

Adaptability and Teamwork:
Adapting to new environments and working with diverse teams is my actual job actually. I'm active student in my University and I've been in many projects such as technology festivals, seminars, game jams etc. All of these were included working as a teams and I'm succesful at this topic.

Animal Care:
I have a natural love for animals and have cared for various pets throughout my life, including cats, dogs, and birds. This experience has taught me responsibility.

Housework:
I am no stranger to housework and have experience in various household tasks such as cleaning, laundry, and cooking. Growing up, I helped with chores around the house, learning the importance of a tidy and organized living space. As a child of traditional Turkish mom I used to do housework very often :)

Conclusion:
In summary, I am a quick learner, adaptable, and creative in approaching tasks. I can't wait to learn and experience new skills!
