Descripción
Hello,

My name is Bilgen.
I'm a 39 years old from Turkey who loves to travel and meet new people. After a 15-year career in finance, I decided to take my life in a new direction. About three years ago, I moved from Istanbul to Antalya, the heart of the Mediterranean Sea.
Here, I turned my biggest passion, home design, into my profession and now I run my own business. I like basic carpentary, maintenance and DIY projects. If you have any work that involves gardening, renovating spaces, carpentary. I'd be more than happy to help.
Living close to nature is a huge part of my life. I share my home with a dog and a cat, and I have a very deep bond with them. This has strengthened my love for animals, so I'm also happy to help with pet care.
In my free time, I love to get my energy up with yoga, long distance cycling, lindy hop dancing, relax by swimming, being in the nature by wild camping and go to long-distance hikes. I've even walked the entire 550km Lycian Way! Traveling, getting to know new cultures, and hearing different stories are some of the most rewarding experiences for me.

I am easy going, open-minded and optimistic person always eager to learn and grow through connection. Right now, I am in a phase of my life where I want to discover more about myself and embrace all the changes with love. I would be glad if you support me in this journey by accepting me and my effort to your nest.

I hope to meet you soon!
Love,
Bilgen

Dejado por el anfitrión (Join the largest intentional ...) para el workawayer ()

Bilgen stayed with us for two weeks in November, He was very interested and enthusiastic, but unfortunately was called away on family business, cutting his short stay even shorter.
Bilden was always friendly and helpful. Got along with other people well and did his work conscientiously.

Dejado por el workawayer () para el anfitrión (Join the largest intentional ...)

I had a chance to stay here only for two weeks. I planned a longer stay but unfortunately had to cut it earlier due to my family health issues. I surely would like to visit here again when things get better for me.

Even though it was a relatively short stay, I cherish every moment I spent there. It was a truly amazing experience for me as I met… read more great people all around the world.
I also experienced the workaway and the communal life for the first time, and here are my observations in a nutshell:
- Huge building and living area is effectively managed by the residents by sharing tasks among themselves, such as volunteers, artists, digital nomads, renovation etc.
- Volunteers' tasks are monitored and guided on a daily basis and with the weekly Monday meetings. Targets are clearly set and insturctions are well explained.
- 5 hours of daily work is expected and no further work is requested.
- Cleaning and sustainability of the volunteers' shared spaces are enabled by the weekly tasks allocated to each volunteer. All the places were sparkling clean.
- Food ingredients are sufficiently provided and supported on a daily basis. There's a space for them like a small grocery store.
- Living area in the kitchen is well decoreated. There's a large smart TV, small bookshelf (a big one is on the upper floor), couch and other small items for entertainment. Volunteers are also allowed to use common spaces like yoga place, Gym, etc.
- There's a clothing room including very sufficient variety of clothing one may need at there. It is very helpful for the ones who is not well prepared for the different seasons in longer stays. Work clothes are also provided.
- Work stations are well equipped. There are stations for wood work, plumming, electricity, painting and other building / maintenance works.
- There are groups in Signal app and announcements, ride share requests or oveall chats are managed effectively.
- Ride share is managed by a token system. It is clearly stated how many tokens are required to go each place nearby.
- Weekly sauna is one of the best activities.
- Walking to the lake through green area was very calm and relaxing.
- Bicycles are available, which made a very nice journeys for me.

All in all, the residents are trying their best to effectively and fairly manage the community while enjoying their time and transforming the idle spaces into beneficial area at the same time. It was very motivating for me to know that I was helping for these nice people while enjoying the rest of the place.

I would like to thank everyone for making this experience an unforgettable one for me. As I mentioned, I definitely would like to come back to here again :)
