  Description

  Hello fellow travelers!
  
  My name is Recep. After a career as a finance executive, I now work as an independent consultant. I live alone with my lovely mixed-breed dog in Istanbul, in a house surrounded by a big, beautiful garden.
  
  I am enthusiastic about a self-sustainable and active lifestyle. I love growing my own vegetables, maintaining the garden, and spending time on simple woodworking projects in my free time. I also enjoy long-distance hiking and outdoor activities.
  
  I value a structured, peaceful, and clean living environment. For me, hosting is about true cultural exchange. I love meeting open-minded travelers, sharing meals, and exchanging stories from different cultures.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Staying with us is a unique opportunity to experience authentic Turkish hospitality while learning about our culture and language. After a long career as a senior finance executive, I now work as an independent consultant, which gives me a broader perspective and the flexibility to enjoy cultural exchanges. Our home has a truly global, open-minded, and welcoming atmosphere where we love sharing stories and exchanging perspectives with people from different countries.
  
  Our property is a large villa located away from the hustle and bustle of the crowded city center, offering a rare glimpse into the peaceful, traditional village life of Istanbul. This is a hidden gem and a very unique experience that even most locals don't get to witness, and we feel incredibly lucky to live here.
  
  Despite the serene location, you will have plenty of free time to explore the historic and beautiful city of Istanbul. It is the perfect balance between experiencing tranquil nature and discovering a vibrant metropolis!
