  Description

  This is a large homestay with fruit and vegetable garden, I'm living alone and need help during the summer months to maintain the garden, watering, collecting, processing fruits and veggies. I'm a retired archaeologist/academician, who loves nature and traveling, not a vegetarian, but cooking mostly without meat. I can provide a nice room with a separate bathroom, a tricycle and Wifi is also available. Iznik where I live is a very nice small, historical, and quiet town (Citta Slow) next to a very large, beautiful lake of Iznik. It's also an hour away from Yalova, Bursa and Inegöl, other attractive large towns. I would also like to have house sit when I'm away. Have no dogs anymore, until I have a permanent tenant or helper, but a cat adopted me. I'm new in here but hosted many HelpX people. I'm accepting hosts for a week or two, and love sharing experiences and stories.
