Description

Hi, I’m Musa! I’m from Türkiye, and I’ve spent about 5 years living in Toronto, Canada. Cooking is my love language, so one of my favourite ways to get to know people is to make a Turkish meal together. I’m always happy to swap recipes, especially if you’ll teach me how to make something you grew up eating.

Since I was 20, I’ve visited 25 countries and volunteered in Germany, Italy, S. Korea, Vietnam, Canada, and many more. More recently, I spent around nine months travelling and volunteering in Asia.

In Thailand, I taught English to children through games. In Melaka, Malaysia, I spent five weeks helping at a hostel, welcoming guests at reception and bringing people together for bike rides, trivia, and karaoke. On Lombok, Indonesia, I helped at an English club for local children and used my photography and video skills to support a homestay.

I also spent a month volunteering at a Buddhist monastery in Taiwan, and in South Korea I volunteered at a café where people came to practise speaking other languages. There’s more to my volunteering story than I can fit on one page, but I’d love to share some of the other stories over a meal and hear yours too.

My background is in events and digital marketing, and I’m a professional photographer and videographer. If you need photos of your guesthouse, a short video about your project, or a hand planning an activity, I’d love to help. I’ve also worked as a sous chef and performed stand-up comedy, so I’m equally happy cooking for a group or hosting a trivia night.

What I enjoy most about Workaway is staying long enough to become part of everyday life. I like having a role I can be counted on, whether that’s welcoming a new guest, preparing dinner, or helping a child practise English. In my free time, you’ll often find me swimming, heading outdoors with my camera, or practising my French.

Plus de détails sur les langues qui m'intéressent
As a native Turkish speaker and fluent in English, I’m happy to teach Turkish to anyone who’s interested. I believe language learning is a great way to connect with different cultures, and I’m excited to both share my knowledge and continue expanding my own language skills. I’m currently learning French and Spanish, and I used to study German. I’m also interested in exploring Japanese and Korean.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

English practice and language exchange
I’ve helped children practise English through games in Thailand and at a village English club on Lombok. I’ve also volunteered at a language café in South Korea, where people came to practise speaking. I’m comfortable leading a group activity or sitting down one-on-one with someone who wants a little more confidence in conversation. I’m learning French myself, so I appreciate how much patience and encouragement help.

Hospitality and group activities
I spent 6 weeks at a hostel in Malaysia, 6 weeks in Vietnam, 5 weeks in the Philippines where I welcomed guests at reception and helped run bike rides, trivia nights, and karaoke. I enjoy introducing guests who’ve just arrived, especially solo travellers. My experience in events and stand-up comedy comes in handy when hosting a group or getting a conversation started.

Cooking and kitchen work
I’m a former sous chef, so I’m comfortable planning meals, prepping ingredients, and cooking for a group. I’d love to share a Turkish recipe with your team and learn how you use local ingredients.

Photography, video, and social media
I’m a professional photographer and videographer with a background in digital marketing. I can photograph your guesthouse, film and edit a short video, or help you plan and write social media posts.

Gardening and hands-on work
While volunteering in Italy and Germany, I helped with gardening and other hands-on jobs. I enjoy working outdoors, and I’m happy to lend a hand with planting, watering, weeding, or keeping shared spaces tidy. If a task is new to me, I’m keen to learn how you like it done.

Autres infos...

In addition to my work and travel experiences, I’m passionate about board games which I enjoy playing in my free time with friends. I also love outdoor activities like hiking, camping, and nature photography, which let me disconnect and enjoy the simplicity of life.
I’m always open to new hobbies and love exploring different interests, whether it’s learning new skills or engaging in unique cultural experiences.
