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
Salam! Hi! 🙋🏻♀️ I'm yekta. I'm from Iran and I've just moved to izmir with Reyhan. 👭🏽 We are here to study at the graduate level, and yes, we are a little nerdy but open-minded, social people, and goofy as well. 💝 In our culture as Iranians, hospitality is everything, and we spoil our guests to the most. 👩🏻🍳 Also, I am an excellent chef, according to my friends and Reyhan, just letting you know. I can cook you persian dishes if you like. 🎎 We both love hosting people in our cosy little apartment with great location, excellent facilities like gym and pool. 🍽 We may offer breakfast or dinner if we have time. 🫖 Hope we see you soon and drink çay with you on our balcony! 🏡 For more info, please leave us a message on WhatsApp: +542 347 0881 Or on Instagram: our.saffron.home

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."

I was in Istanbul for over a month. It's was a little bit expensive, compared to my last year trip, but totally worth it. Amazing food, nice people that are always trying to help if you need something. Definitely my soul place.

I started the trip by meeting a guy someone I met in couch surfing recommended me. He walked me to my booked hostel and talked to the guy in his language, I went to my shared room where I met a girl who was staying there for some time, a fellow latina and there were a lot of empty beds. I then went to ask to extend my stay a couple of days and the giy said they didnt have capacity, when my fellow latina asked though, they did have space. This seemed suspicious to me as the one I have met insisted that I should stay with him and meet hia friends. The next bad expefience was going out with thw latina girl and suddenly everything changed for me there, she was showing a lot of skin and men went crazy and talked to us in spanish, some of them grabbed me trying to pull me to the back of their shops..horrible. I was not showing much skin, but since I was with someone who was and we were speaking spanish I got tagged as a hooker?
