  Description

  We are a happy family of four. I (Osman,39) am an primary school teacher in a public school. My wife Figen (36) is an primary school teacher in a public school too. My son Görkem is ten years old. My second son Ahmed is five years old.
  We live in a 4-storey apartment building in Beykoz, the pearl of Istanbul. My house has a beautiful forest and Bosphorus view. We are in love with Beykoz as a family.
  My house is a 10-minute walk from the seaside . Also, the market center, hospital, school and markets are very close to my house.
  
  We need workawayers to spend time with Görkem and Ahmed and help with household chores , cooking, and also for cleaning. I’d also like to take workawayers to my school and my son schools. We can have lessons together or plan some activities for the students. The workawayers can make a small presentation about his/her own country, the places he/she lives, and the countries he/she has traveled to or anything they want to share. They can arrange some traditional children games from their countries. Since we are living in a rural neighborhood, it’ll be a great opportunity for the students to learn about the other people and countries.
  
  From the minute you arrive you will be treated as one of the family and we will also look after you as such. We hope you look after our house as if it was yours and do the chores that you would do in any place like tidy the kitchen after the meals, put in and take off the things of the dish washer, keep your bedroom and toilet clean, vacuum and mop the house....
  
  My wife and I like to spend time in the kitchen. She is really good at cooking. You will be lucky to taste Turkish cuisine. We’d really happy if you sometimes cook your traditional meals. If you are vegan or vegeterian, you are welcome to cook for yourself.
  As we are a non-smoker and non-drinker family , we expect you not to smoke and drink at our properties.
  
  If you could bring a small gift that reminds us of your country or the country you're currently in, we would really appreciate it — but please don't feel obligated to do so.
  P.S. We only can host people with a valid health insurance.
  It would be good if you send us a copy of your passport on arrival.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Staying with a traditional working-class Turkish family in Beykoz, Istanbul is a warm and special experience. The family treats guests like one of their own. You eat homemade food together, drink lots of tea, and help with daily chores. You might learn to cook traditional meals, or go shopping at the local street market. Life is simple and calm. People care about family, neighbors, and traditions. Religion is also part of daily life, and you may hear the call to prayer during the day. Beykoz is a quiet, green area near the sea, with forests and hills. Even if you don’t speak much Turkish, you can still connect through smiles, kindness, and sharing. It’s a great way to learn about Turkish life and culture.
