The farm immediately gave me a warm and welcoming feeling and it quickly started to feel like a home to me with a very peaceful vibe. Emine is a thoughtful, empathetic and inspiring person, which helps with easily creating this amazing environment. The experience matches the description in the profile! The work was enjoyable and the 5 hours of work a day are perfectly fine, within the two off days a week you have the chance to explore the villages around the area. The breakfast has a special place in my heart! Thank you for making this possible, I'm happy to have been your 2nd WP volunteer.

My 3 weeks at Emine's farm was absolutely amazing! The work was enjoyable and hours were very reasonable, I felt like part of a team when working to finish tasks around the farm with Emine and the other volunteers. I couldn't have felt more welcomed and I'm forever grateful for the amazing food Emine would cook and the people I met during my stay! If you like farming or just being outside in general this is a great place for it, there is also so much to do in your free days in the surrounding areas. Thank you for hosting me Emine and I'm happy to have been your first Worldpackers volunteer!

I had a nice time at Emine's farm. Great location being next to the beach and an hours walk from Özbek, and I met so many lovely volunteers. The farm work itself wasn't too difficult, but to be honest I wasn't given many farm tasks. While all the other volunteers were out in the field, Emine would have me clean her car or a room in her house. There were expectations but no appreciation. She was also hard to have conversations with. I felt like I was always walking on eggshells or saying the wrong thing around her. Because of that I wouldn't recommend volunteering here for more than 2 weeks.

Kyla, you applied for a payment position about the cleaning. Do you remember your application letter? "By the way, I am applying to volunteer for two weeks but I am also open to do the three month work position. I am a very clean person and am happy to clean the houses. The earliest I can start is June 30th and can go to September 31st" and you stayed 45 days and got the money what we were agree on. Your comment, even though you forget to do the assigned tasks some times, is not fair. Which is also shows your work ethic, applying for cleaning and complaining about not being on the field with the other volunteers... very interesting.
