  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 Büyükada, with house and gardening work and in takıng care of the kittıes (usually just feedıng them, an occasIonal cat sit; and less helping me take them to the vet when needed
  
  It would be a great bonus ıf you can do subcutaneous fluid injections, which might be needed on one or two cats once a week or so.
  
  There are three cats who live both at home and in the garden, and five or six more in the garden.
  
  The garden needs weeding, general cleaning up, decluttered from
  random stuff laying around.
  
  In the house: There is also a mess of a room in the house that needs decluttering, and cleaning up. I would be landing you a hand when doing this room.
  
  Inside the house, I need help organizing and cleaning cluttered shelves, drawers and corners.
  
  We do NOT have wifi, but I can arrange wıth enough notıce (around 10 days)
  
  We have room for just ONE person.

  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."

  -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.
  
  
  AND/ OR
  -Helping out in the garden in Büyükada. It's a 600m2 (about a fıfth of an acre) garden with quite a bit of weeds that need picking, leaves that need raking, the garden clutter maintained, and -if you are lucky- some fruit to be picked (plums, figs or cherries).
  
  -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).
  
  In the case of cat sitting in Buyukada, we might visit the city and stay overnight or a few nights. So on rare occasions, you might end up by yourself in the house in the island.
  
  And lastly, I am open to learning German and Gulf Arabic if it happens to be your native language.

  Explore the island or take a trip down to the city. It's a 35-70 min ferry ride to the Asian side, and a 110-min ferry ride to the old city center.
  The house is 2.5 km (1.7 miles) from the central square and ferry docks. It's a 20-30 min walk, a 6-min $2 electrical bus ride (Unfortunately they did away with the horse carriages) or 15 min by bike.
