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.

I love in Izmir as a single woman for 4+ years and the city is generally safe. It's pretty fine in the centre as well as in busy areas. But please make sure you avoid Basmane and the surroundings after dark.

The city center is usually busy, so it generally feels safe. However, like in most cities, I wouldn’t feel comfortable being alone in quiet or isolated areas late at night. The emergency service number is 112 and you can call them anytime for free, even if you don’t have call or internet packages.

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
