What can I say, I absolutely loved my experience and time at the host! More than anything else I really appreciated how hospitable and kind everyone was, this includes staff, volunteers and people swinging by to say hi. The work was also very easy, lecture notes are all pre prepared for you and you only really do max 3 hours of teaching a day. Maybe the only cons are Gazintep isn't the busiest place and there were some organisational issues, like I came on as a programmer but very quickly needed to transition into a teacher. All in all had great time and unforgettable summer!

My experience at the host was excellent; it completely exceeded my expectations. We met so many people, and it was wonderful to talk with both the adults and the kids. I learned so much about the culture, the cuisine, and Turkey itself. A huge thank you to KJ for the hospitality 👌🏾 to Yunus and Jada for all the warmth, local tips, and food recommendations 😉 and to everyone who made us feel so welcome and turned this into such a fantastic experience 😊. It was truly an incredible journey. Would I go back? 50 times over! 😁 Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🙏🏾 🙏🏾 🙏🏾

This was my first volunteering experience, and I did it together with my wife — both of us helping teach English lessons. As for me, I have no words to describe how fascinating it was, thanks to KJ, Yunos, and the whole team at the Café. Everything was on point — the people, the accommodation, the school, the city... simply everything! The work itself wasn't hard at all and fit perfectly into my personal schedule. But the most important thing I'm taking with me is the people I met. I would definitely return to this place.

This was honestly one of the best experiences I've had with Worldpackers! The staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful throughout my stay. The accommodations were more than sufficient, and I was pleasantly surprised by the food. Despite reading some mixed reviews beforehand, I found the meals to be more than enough, and I would recommend this experience to anyone who wants to immerse themselves in local culture! I'm so grateful for the experience and would absolutely love to come back if given the chance. Thank you so much for everything! I already miss Gaziantep so much. ❤️

My experience at the host has been truly special. I originally planned to stay for just one month, but I enjoyed it so much that I decided to extend my stay for another month. From the very beginning, I felt warmly welcomed. The people here are incredibly kind, friendly, and genuinely appreciative of everything we do. The volunteers are amazing — we quickly became like one big family. The students are also wonderful. Overall, this place has given me not only experience, but also a sense of belonging.

Such a fun experience! From day one it felt like a home away from home. Everyone was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and made it so easy to feel part of the family. I laughed a lot, met amazing people, and created memories I’ll always appreciate.

Initially, I planned to stay only two weeks, but the hospitality, respect, and openness of the host and the culture inspired me to extend my journey. Time passed so quickly—I made many local and international friends, immersed myself in Türkiye's culture, and enjoyed unforgettable moments together. The dormitory provided was clean, comfortable, and fully furnished with all the essentials. This was my first Worldpackers experience, and it was undoubtedly the right choice. I truly hope to return.

Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
