One of my most memorable experiences was volunteering in Butterfly Valley in Turkey. It's this hidden paradise near Oludeniz — you can only get there by boat, about 20 minutes from the beach, which already makes it feel like a secret world. No roads, no cars — just mountains, waterfalls, and crystal clear water. I spent some time there as a volunteer, and honestly, it was absolutely magical. The people were incredibly kind and welcoming — the whole team felt like a big family. Everyone was so...

I really enjoy my trip in Turkey. I had go with my brother. Well, it was nice; it was cheap and beautiful. Well, I really like it. I had bought bags, many things. I like Turkey markets. If you want to walk like in roads, it’s best for you.

Istanbul was one of the best trips I’ve ever taken. 🇹🇷The food was amazing, the desserts were delicious, and the places were so diverse and unique—whether nature spots, tourist attractions, or shopping areas. The transportation system was also really easy and convenient.

Generally safe. Most areas not safe during at night. Only the seaside during summer would be safe if you want to go out at night. However, normal areas are safe. In crowded areas be careful about your belongings like you would anywhere in the world.

Most of the time I feel safe as a female student when I am in the center like Kızılay or 100. Yıl, but when going to Ulus, OSTİM I try to choose more moderate closings. It is not as if you would get in trouble but would be better not to risk it.

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
