About me
Hello crazy ladies! I'm Mel - I live in Bursa but my soul is constantly roaming! ✈️ I work in human resources in daily life; that is, I take the question "will this person go on a long journey with us" seriously in recruitment processes. Now I'm here to introduce myself as "long journey" in this club.🎒 I like dark tunes in music and lots of laughter in conversation. Camping, hiking, streets, street food... I'm all for it. I'm very serious: I have the map, a long playlist and a lighter. Only you are left! Let's meet on the road!🫶🏻✨

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
I’m Dide, and I have a strong background in gender studies, humanitarian work, and data analysis. I’ve worked with international organizations like Save the Children and IOM - UN Migration, where I gained experience in grants management, program development, and medical assistance. Academically, I hold a Master’s degree in Social Sciences from the University of Cologne, and my research has focused on gendered language in politics. I’m passionate about feminism, psychology, and contemporary literature, and I’ve taken courses in feminist philosophy and psychoanalysis. Beyond work and academia, I love ceramics, modern dance, and arthouse cinema. I also enjoy yoga and meditation, but I prefer in-person sessions rather than online ones. Recently, I’ve been into personal reflection and journaling, which helps me stay grounded.

Is Turkey worth visiting?
Based on 224 experiences
Istanbul, Solo travel
Safe place for solo travelers. However, the taxi guys are ruthless if they see you are traveling alone as a woman or with a female friend. The biggest turn off was that taxi drivers dropped me off me and my friend in some place that we didn't ask to be dropped off. And when we asked them to take us to our actual destination, one of the drivers got aggressive and opened the door asking us to get out. We wanted to visit the Haggia Sophia instead we ended up in a different mosque in a strange part of the city. Trying to find our way back same and the issue occurred. We got dropped off at a bridge that had no sidewalk for pedestrians and had to walk on the shoulder of the road. After this experience, we decided to only explore places we could reach by foot.
