  Descripción

  I am a "global citizen" who has lived across six countries (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; Baltimore, Maryland, USA; Rome, Italy; Malta; Ghent, Belgium; and since 2004, Istanbul, Turkey).
  
  I live partly alone, partly with one or both parents across two homes:
  One in the the area of Nişantaşı, one of the most coveted neighborhoods in Istanbul; and one in the dream island of Büyükada (the largest of the Prince Islands just off the Asian coast of Istanbul).
  
  I/we would enjoy your company and helping hand in either or both of the places in any of these things:

  Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  Práctica de idiomas

  Jardinería

  Cuidado de animales

  Ayuda doméstica

  Ayuda informática
• 

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  They will get the chance to experience one of the most culturally rich areas of Istanbul:
  The Prince Islands are renowned the world over with their beautiful architecture, their scenery and serenity (although it does get many day-time tourists) and history as the "home of the Princes."
  
  Tesvikiye and the adjacent neighborhood of Nisantasi are one of the most highly-heralded centers of town, with fine old architecture, dozens of art galleries, cafes, the city's most active concert hall (CRR), and history in every corner. It's also one of the most expensive parts of town, and they will have the opportunity to experience the area at zero accomodation cost.

  Ayuda

  -Cat-sitting six cats in our home (with its private garden, a view of the sea, and a fire place) in Büyükada. There would be at least one of us in the house and you would be our guest...but also be ready to take care of them on your own when we need to leave for a few days. Minimum expected stay for this would be four days, up to two weeks.
  
  AND/ OR
  -Helping out in the garden in Büyükada. It's a 600m2 (about a fıfth of an acre) garden where the leaves need raking, the trees need trimming, the few fruit trees need picking, and the garden clutter maintained. We wouldn't expect more than a few hours of work each day for this. Again, min stay of four days, maximum of two weeks.
  
  Again, you can do both the cat-sitting and the gardening or choose one.
  
  -If you can help me launch my website, create a few affiliate links on my social media etc... that too would be much appreciated and reciprocated with housing in either place.
  
  -Helping around the house: We have a lot of books, brochures and just clutter that would appreciate some organizing. Max 3 hours a day, helping me organize at either home; or decluttering a specific area by yourself (mainly bookshelves or a kitchen cabinet or two that need organizing).
  
  And at home would be either just me; me and my mom; or both of us.
  In the case of cat sitting in Buyukada, we might visit the city and stay overnight or a few nights. So you could sometimes end up by yourself in the house in the island.
  
  There are NO children. For soem reason, I cannot edit the info to correct this. There are no children in either home.
  
  And lastly, I am open to learning German and Gulf Arabic if it happens to be your native language.
