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:)

Ece

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."

Can host for:

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

Bahar
Ankara
Can host for:
3 days
About me
I’m an Istanbulite currently living in Ankara. 26 and a last year med student, I live very close to downtown. Not a party animal but I occasionally enjoy going out for drinks (I’m much more of a home person though). If I have the time I’m always down for coffee and a chat. Depending on my availability (mental and physical) I can host you, though usually either for a night or two tops. I live alone but the hospital can really kick my ass sometimes, so I have to keep stays on the shorter side. Any questions about guidance around the city, just ask!
Speaking
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?

Turkey, Family travel
Lots of things to do and see. They have nice resorts, I personally preferred staying in a city, Istanbul. Great public transport. It's really fun bargaining there and so many cats. Maybe be a little careful about the food, generally safe though and try all the teas!
