Description
Hi everyone! I’m Alp, an upbeat and adventurous person, splitting my time between Edmonton and Istanbul. Over the past five years, I’ve embraced a lifestyle that has allowed me to spend a significant amount of time traveling and exploring different parts of the world.

What I’ve come to realize in recent years is that meeting new people, sharing experiences, and engaging in meaningful conversations bring a sense of happiness and peace to my life. This has led me to see volunteering as a wonderful way to connect with people from diverse backgrounds and places, embracing both the good and the challenges that come with it.

I would describe myself as flexible, easygoing, positive, and responsible. I genuinely enjoy building new friendships and immersing myself in the culture of the places I visit. While I’m not demanding in any way, I do hope to be welcomed into a warm and friendly environment. Looking forward to connecting!

What an amazing journey! I can't even find words to describe my experience here. More than a work it felt like a family living and working together. The work was not difficult and left me plenty of time to explore the city, make day trips and visit other parts of the country. Thank you for all the volunteers that I've lived and worked with and… read more

The work was not overwhelming at all. We mostly did gardening, help… read more

First of all sorry for this really late feedback. I wanted to start by saying that the whole volunteering experience was one of the best things that I ever did in my entire life! The whole team was really friendly and made me feel at home all the time. Other workawayers were also amazing so in the end it literally felt like a family. Work was not… read more
