About me
Heyy, I'm Ece. I recently moved to Istanbul for my first job, and I'm saving up for masters (which will take quite some time -so wish me luck!) I like going into the nature, music and food exchange and the beauty of daily simple pleasures. My biggest passion is cooking international food. I also enjoy reading books and sharing quotes with my friends so we can reflect together. I've been to Balkan countries, Italy, Germany, Czechia(where I did my Erasmus, so it has a special place in my heart. ) Poland, Oslo(my first ever solo trip was unbelievably smooth and full of adventures), Austria, Slovakia and Hungary. In my travels, I like to check off my must-see spots first so that I can get lost in streets, connect with locals, try all the local food, and do some shopping. I know I shouldn't hold on to the things I buy while traveling, but they make me feel alive haha I love international environments, deep talks about our 20s, cozy candle light book sessions, minimalism. Sometimes I feel the urge to get out of my comfort zone - after all, we only live once, right? "What you are now, we once were; what we are now, you shall be."

About me
Hey, I’m Beyza. I’m 19, obsessed with traveling, and currently on a mission: 19 countries before I turn 20. I’m spending my gap year exploring the world while collecting ideas for my future social enterprise. Yes, I travel like I’m running a field research project. In September 2026, I’m planning to start university in either Italy or the US. I love meeting new people, spontaneous plans, getting lost (and then pretending it was part of the plan), and analyzing every city like a case study. Ig: Wispybeyza

About me
Hello everyone! I’m Fatma. I have been working as a teacher in İstanbul for six years. I love travelling and solo-travel has become kind of a therapy for me over the years:) If you are in İstanbul, I can show you around at weekends and give you some tips as well. You can ask any questions, please don’t be shy. My home is a bit far from the touristic places, but if you need a place to crash you can come over:)

About me
Hello crazy ladies! I'm Mel - I live in Bursa but my soul is constantly roaming! ✈️ I work in human resources in daily life; that is, I take the question "will this person go on a long journey with us" seriously in recruitment processes. Now I'm here to introduce myself as "long journey" in this club.🎒 I like dark tunes in music and lots of laughter in conversation. Camping, hiking, streets, street food... I'm all for it. I'm very serious: I have the map, a long playlist and a lighter. Only you are left! Let's meet on the road!🫶🏻✨

Stay with locals
Stay with local women to see how they live, listen their stories, learn about their culture and have a unique travel experience.
Is Turkey safe for female travelers?

I was in Turkey with my mom and cousin for a week. We did different day trips going to side or going out with a boat. It was a very great time but very hot. Sadly we only spent a week there, I could’ve easily stayed 2 weeks. Overall a a great time.
