Alvaro and Yigit are super nice hosts.
Things are confirmed and prepared so quickly, and they are very welcoming with open attitudes! Alvaro is a Spanish teacher and he even gave me a Spanish lesson! He knows I am interested in art, so he gave me entire wall for painting and gave me freedom to create. I am really happy to do something interested! … read more

By the second day, our classroom had been transformed with beautiful artwork, and everyone immediately felt relaxed and happy with her visit, and we could tell she was feeling that she had already gave a lot back and that that was making her feel more comfortable and at home.

We organised Elaina's visit at the very last minute and she arrived a … read more little earlier than we expected. We gave her a short introduction to our project, and within minutes she had completely understood the spirit of our place and was already planning and starting her mural.

One of the things we appreciated the most was that she never made us feel like we had to supervise her. She naturally saw what needed to be done, took initiative, and in only four days accomplished more than we could have expected. Her stay didnt feel like work to us and we really appreciate that, hopefully she could also tell that we were so happy with her help.

Creating content together was another highlight. Elaina already has experience building an audience on Instagram, so helping us with social media came very naturally to her. She filmed me teaching my students with hyper-lapse, and later I gave her her very first Spanish lesson, which we also recorded the same way. She took notes on everything, learned incredibly fast, and showed a real talent for languages. Combined with her artistic ability, she's someone who learns new skills remarkably quickly.

Outside of volunteering, she also joined Yiğit for a boxing workout at the gym. They both came back with bright red legs after countless kicks.

What really defines Elaina, though, is her independence. She has exactly the mindset that makes Workaway such a rewarding experience. She explored the Princes' Islands on her own by bicycle, missed the last ferry, and somehow still managed to find her way back to Istanbul.

Thanks to her, I discovered that one of the vegetables we always ignored at the supermarket is actually delicious when cooked, and now I add it to all my meals. For Yiğit's birthday, she prepared a traditional Hong Kong dessert while we were making pancakes together.

Throughout her stay she was very tidy. When cleaning her brushes after painting she would also leave the kitchen spotless. We never asked or expected her to do that, it was simply the kind of thoughtful person she is.

More than anything, Elaina made us feel that she genuinely appreciated the effort and care we put into hosting her. She became part of our daily life almost immediately, and by the time she left, it honestly felt too soon. Actually we arranged to host her for 3 days at first, she stayed a lot more and the last day she was still saying maybe she would stay a bit more and we were hoping she would.

We hope our paths cross again in the future. You are always welcome with us Elaina!
