La experiencia

We, Murat and Sibel, have been a couple trying to explore alternative ways of living and in the year 2018 we purchased a 4 acre land and moved from Istanbul to a forest village in Antalya, Kaş.

Our land is located on the mountain side of Kaş, on a secluded, peaceful spot within the pine forest.

Our purpose is to live "consciously" as much as possible, be sustainable, grow our own food and be independent as much as we can.

Programa detallado

We, Murat and Sibel, have been a couple trying to explore alternative ways of living and in the year 2018 we purchased a 4 acre land and moved from Istanbul to a forest village in Antalya, Kaş.

Our land is located on the mountain side of Kaş, on a secluded, peaceful spot within the pine forest.

Our purpose is to live "consciously" as much as possible, be sustainable, grow our own food and be independent as much as we can.

With these goals in mind;
- We have changed our diet and moved to a complete plant based one.
- We have found out about Permaculture and how its practices can help us create a sustainable ecosystem .After completing a PDC course we designed our land accordingly.
- Being settled on a remote off-grid location, we set up a solar system for our energy necessities.
- We have been building a new social life with like minded people with which we share similar values and interests.

The reason we are signing up for "Worldpackers" is that we are only two people with limited time and energy. Generally we are only able to take care of "the most necessary tasks in our to do list" .

We definitely love the idea of getting help from like minded people who maybe curious about the path we follow, maybe sharing similar interests or simply love Kaş and want to inexpensively be here.

Actividades & Turnos

The jobs that we usually take care of and need help with are:

- Household chores
- Building pathways or steps,
- Taking care of vegetable beds like weeding, adding compost, etc.
- Fertilizing, pruning or mulching the trees,
- Maintenance of irrigation and pipes
- Planting new trees, flowers, herbs etc.
- Light construction work plumbing, woodwork, etc.
- Turning compost
- Weeding
- Landscaping

We are quite relaxed and flexible people, so the below is not the law but mainly our daily schedule is like:

In winter and early spring our daily work schedule starts around 11:00 a.m. (when the sun fills the valley it gets warm) and we work for approximately 5 hours.

Mostly depending on the weather that sets the rules but if things are normal we usually work for 3 days on a row and have an off day. We can also do the traditional way 5 days work and 2 days off, no prob.

As we are located in the countryside, we are about a 20-minute drive from the center of Kaş and 5 minutes from the nearest public transportation point. From there, minibuses run hourly between 08:00 and 20:00, going to and from town. We occasionally help our volunteers get to town and pick them back up if we are available. If not we can always drop them off and pick them up at the bus stop.

Reglas

We are vegan and we only cook and serve vegan meals .

We have two meals a day.

A breakfast in the morning but with no exact time, so we prefer our volunteers to take care of their own breakfast in their homes.

We will provide the supplies for breakfast and any additional meals that the may need to have. For this together we take occasional trips to town for shopping groceries etc.

The second meal is a late lunch for some but an early dinner for us🙂 We eat vegan and prepare only vegan food for this dinner.

This dinner is prepared together with the volunteers at our home. We start to prepare it around 16:30 - 17:00, eat around 18:00 and clean-up.

We value quiet time and privacy very much, so after 20:00, we expect everybody to retire and relax in their personal spaces.

Off days are also our own time to relax. During that time ( if the guests would like to stay home) they should cook for themselves.

We are 18 km's away from Kaş center and 5 km's away from the public transportation point.

We also propose a space to set tents (we can provide the tent, sleeping bags and mats) or a spot to park a van where we can provide limited solar electricity and water.

Amenities, notes and house-rules:
- The accommodations must be left clean and tidy.
- If non-vegan food needs to be cooked it is only allowed in private kitchens in volunteers' dedicated spaces.
- Being off grid and solar powered, the high energy demanding utilities can only be operated during sunny days.
- If you have any special dietary requirements they must be declared when applied for stay.
- There is free wi-fi but only 10 Mbits/sec.
- Please let us know if you have any allergies.
