  Description

  Hello everyone,
  
  I am Alican and I live in Lara, Antalya. I work as a computer engineer and this keeps me busy during the weekdays. On the weekends I usually go to the beach or go exploring.
  
  I usually don't have enough time or energy to cook and clean after my workdays. So I am looking for a friendly Workawayer who can take care of general anlegen and meal preparation while I am at work or out.
  
  I am very flexible about "working hours" - I don't keep a strict schedule for help. The important thing is that the apartment is clean and our meals are ready.
  
  What I offer:
  
  You will have your own private room.
  We will share a bathroom.
  We have high speed fiber internet (500 Mbps).
  There is a balcony with a sea view where you can relax and enjoy.
  The kitchen is spacious and well equipped. I can pick you up when you arrive at the airport and drop you off when you leave.
  What I am looking for:
  
  Someone to be responsible for cleaning the house.
  Someone to prepare meals (for both of us).
  Sometimes I may have other small, easy tasks around the house, but they will not be daily tasks.
  
  I believe in open communication, so feel free to ask any questions you may have.
  
  I look forward to hearing from you!
  
  Alican

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  While staying at my home in Lara, Antalya, you'll have the opportunity to experience modern Turkish city life and culture up close. Through our daily conversations, you can practice Turkish, and observe Turkish hospitality and the local way of life. I would also enjoy learning about your culture and language.
  
  In my free time, I usually spend time at the beach or explore the surrounding areas. When I have the chance, I can accompany you or give you travel advice about the historical and natural beauties that Antalya offers. If you're curious about Turkish cuisine, we can talk about my favorite dishes and local flavors. My aim is to help you during your stay here and also to have an enjoyable cultural exchange for both of us.

  Help

  Primarily, I'm looking for a Workawayer to help with general housekeeping and preparing our daily meals (for example, dinners). Housekeeping would involve keeping our shared spaces – the living room, kitchen, and bathroom – tidy and clean. This includes general tasks like dusting, vacuuming/sweeping. For the kitchen, preparing simple and healthy home-cooked meals would be great.
  
  I don't have strict expectations regarding 'working hours'; the most important thing is that the house is clean and our meals are ready. Aside from these main tasks, I might occasionally ask for help with other small, non-demanding things related to household organization or perhaps light grocery shopping, but these wouldn't be regular duties. Essentially, I'm looking for help that makes daily life easier, based on mutual understanding.
