Istanbul for a month - any suggestions?

I dont know about workaway yet you should be careful about couchsurfing in Turkey. As a woman you should be careful about those who offer a room in their house. It's not the same as europe or us. Just a friendly warning

But you can stay with a house with girl of course.

there are lots of local meetups you can find on the internet. but 1 month is so short to do all of these.

Thanks a lot for the link. I'll have a look and see what I can find there.
Yes, I'm skeptic about couchsurfing, and even about airbnb offers to be honest! I never tried those. I just tried staying in a hostel, but not in Turkey, and I liked it (I went with a group of friends though!)

As for meetups, most of what I could find up to know are meetings for language practice, nothing more. I guess outdoor activity meetups aren't usually scheduled this soon because I still can't find enough information about December in that concern!

Oh, and concerning "workaway", there are opportunities where you can work/volunteer but not necessarily stay in the place they offer. As an example, I found an interesting ad about a school where one can just help with teaching or other tasks and stay elsewhere. One is just requested to show up like 3 times a week.  That's for a humanitarian cause obviously.

Hi

Hi,
is its dangerous if a man offer to lady for stay at their house?

Yes unfortunately it's not a friendly invitation. They are expecting to spend the night together today or tomorrow
