Description
**NOT A FREE VACATION SEEKER. A REAL WORKAWAYER!**
*Hard work included, sense of humor free.* 😊
Hi! I’m Erdem — born and raised by the sea in Türkiye, with a Mediterranean spirit: warm, social, curious, and easy to connect with.
Recently, I’ve been volunteering in different places across South Africa:
* Farm in Swellendam
* Farm/lodge in Addo
* Farm in Storms River
* Surf lodge in Jeffreys Bay
* Guesthouse in Port Elizabeth
* Currently at a beach lodge in Chintsa, Eastern Cape
I’m happy to provide references from my previous hosts if needed.
I have hands-on experience in construction, farm work, surf lodge operations (including guest communication, check-in/check-out, and hospitality), kitchen work and cooking, as well as creating social media content for lodges.
During my farm experiences, I worked with horses and other ranch animals, supporting their daily care and general farm routines. I also used power tools and helped with basic repairs and maintenance.
I come from a solid professional background. For many years, I worked as an engineer in construction, land surveying, drone mapping, and fiber-optic (ISP) infrastructure projects. Working in corporate environments taught me responsibility, reliability, teamwork, and safety awareness—values I bring to every place I stay.
I love cooking and sharing food, especially Turkish dishes like İmam Bayıldı and Menemen. For me, cooking is another way to connect with people.
On the creative side, I create short promotional videos using drone and mobile footage, edited in CapCut or Canva, for social media and websites.
My outdoor skills include:
* Intermediate surfing
* Rock climbing / rope skills
* CMAS 1★ diving
* P2 paragliding
I enjoy working hard, meeting new people, and being part of a good team. I'm reliable, adaptable, and always happy to help wherever I'm needed.
Looking forward to meeting you and contributing to your project!
All the best,
Erdem -
