Fethiye

About me

Hi everyone! I’m Valeri — a professional musician, traveler and creative soul currently living in Fethiye, Turkey for the past three years. Music is my lifelong passion — I compose, perform and explore sound as a form of connection between people and cultures. I’ve been lucky to visit amazing countries such as Thailand, Italy, Sri Lanka, Austria, Hungary, and Poland, and I’m planning to travel soon to Japan and Bali. I love nature, hiking, and being active outdoors — exploring new trails, mountains and seaside views gives me so much inspiration for my music. I’m also fascinated by architecture, culture and traditions of every country I visit. As a Leo, I’m naturally warm, curious and open-hearted. I love meeting new people, sharing experiences and exchanging creative energy. Whether it’s music, travel stories, or just good conversation — I’m always up for it! Looking forward to connecting with like-minded, inspiring women around the world 🌎💫

Diyarbakir

About me

🤔 Heyy! I'm Beyza passionate organizer, and unofficial queen of starting 7 things at once (and finishing… most of them). I once planned an entire event during a bus ride. I don't recommend it, but it worked. I'm a high-energy combo of “let’s plan something amazing” and “wait, where are my keys?” I’ve been told I talk like I’m giving a TED Talk, even when I’m just ordering coffee. I collect notebooks I’ll never finish, accidentally become the group leader in every situation, and I love turning strangers into friends. I’m obsessed with maps, spontaneous plans, and late-night deep convos that make you question your life choices (in a good way). I probably have a to-do list for our trip already. Sorry not sorry. Swipe right if you want laughs, plans, snacks, and someone who will 100% talk to random cats on the street. 🐈‍⬛💬 Ig: Wispybeyza

Istanbul

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:)

Istanbul

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."

Istanbul

About me

Hey there! I’m a 20-year-old travel lover who’s already explored 20 countries and I’m just getting started! ✈️ Every trip has been a unique adventure, and traveling is honestly the thing that makes me feel most alive. I’m currently studying English Language Teaching at Marmara University and living in the colorful chaos of Istanbul. Sometimes I travel with friends, but I absolutely love solo trips they give me the freedom to go with the flow, meet amazing people, and learn more about myself along the way. I’m always up for a good chat, spontaneous plans, or discovering hidden gems wherever I go. If you’re into travel, stories, or just good vibes we’ll probably get along great 🌍✨

Bandirma

I've been in Bandırma since 2021 for university. And I think Bandırma is a vocation town. You have sea which is 30 minutes away. When the season is summer you can chill in Erdek. Bandırma don't have so much cultural or historical places but if you want some peace you absolutely visit here and enjoy calmness. Cause people don't rush here.
