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:)

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."

Hello everyone, my name is Helin. I'm a solo traveler from Istanbul, Turkey. I studied political science in Turkey. I'm traveling on a low budget. I use this app for the first time and the reason is to meet new people, to socialize and to find a recommendation when it's urgent.

I’m elif I’m 20 and living in Istanbul and I’m a solo traveler. I’m an artist and a violinist. I love camping and exploring the world. I’m always open for new friends!!!
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?

Istanbul was magical. I had a blast there! It was my first time traveling abroad and I did it alone, no regrets🥰 Met amazing people and i felt safe there the whole time I didn’t do many activity since the trip was poorely planned yet i had so much fun. The public transportation is greaatt, didn’t have to use a taxi once. I mostly used buses,public ferries and metros/tram
