Description
We are a happy family of four. I (Sultan,36) am an English teacher in a public school. My husband Aykut (38) is an electronics engineer. My daughter Zehra is ten years old. My second daughter Zeynep is seven years old.
We live on the 4th floor of a 4-storey apartment building with elevator in the heart of Osmaniye city center. The temperature in this nice city in southern Türkiye is consistently above 15 degrees Celsius. 🌞🌞🌞 Every Wednesday, a large fruit and vegetable market (bazaar) is held in front of our house, offering a wide variety of fresh, local vegetables and fruits. You can easily walk to the biggest shopping mall of the city (Park328), supermarkets, cafes, sports center, hospitals.
⚠️We need workawayers to spend time with Zehra and Zeynep and help with household chores and also for cleaning. I’d also like to take workawayers to my school and my daughters’ 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. Since we’re living in a small city, 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....
We love travelling a lot. When I was studying at university, I was an exchange student in Denmark. I travelled all over Europe. In 2012 I attended a program called SWY ( The Ship for World Youth) in Japan. I visited Japan, India, Singapur,Sri Lanka thanks to this program. My husband was also an exchange student in Poland. He has been in USA for three months for work and travel programme. After we got married, we visited some European countries together (Greece, Serbia, Montenegro, Bosna, Spain). We are a travelling, open-minded, easy-going, extroverted couple. We love chatting with travel-lovers.
🪙 I have a coin collection and would love to add a coin from your country to it.
My husband and I like to spend time in the kitchen. He is really good at cooking. You will be lucky to taste Turkish cuisine. 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.
✈️✈️✈️ Çukurova Airport (COV) is the nearest international airport. There is a shuttle bus from Çukurova airport to Osmaniye. If you are looking for cheap international flights, you can also search Antalya or Dalaman Airport. From these airports, you can take domestic flights to Çukurova Airport ( COV ) or nights buses to Osmaniye.
🚂🚂🚂 We have a train station in Toprakkale - Osmaniye. Regional trains connect Osmaniye with Hatay, Mersin, and Adana, and vice versa. From Adana train station, there are more regional trains that go to various locations in Türkiye.
🚌🚌🚌 The bus terminal in Osmaniye offers tickets to all cities in Türkiye. For a convenient way to search for and purchase tickets, visit obilet.com/en. This website allows you to explore routes, compare prices, and book tickets online easily.
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.

Before I arrived I had a video call with Sultan, in which she made sure that both sides get to ask any questions and talk about concerns, expectations etc.
I was even picked up from the airport by her sister and from that moment on the generosity and hospitality of… read more
No words will be enough to describe the time we spent together. I wish she had stayed more. She is a content, smart, hard-working, self-confident person. She opened a secret door into our monotone life :) She was like a sister for us. We will miss her a lot. She really got on well with children. Zehra was crazy about her. She had a… read more
