The change

Hello and welcome to my blog.

Here, I would like to share some experiences and stories with you.

Have you ever found yourself in a place where you desperately needed a change? A place where you led a comfortable life, but were deeply craving for more excitement, worthwhile experiences, an escape from the routine?

Several months ago, I finally worked up the courage to make the change. I left Manchester, UK, which had been my home for ten years, and made the (seemingly) completely irrational move to Istanbul, Turkey.

Many of the posts in this blog will be reflections on and practical tips about life in Istanbul. Join me as I explore the magnificent, bustling, awe-inspiring, overcrowded, polluted, frustrating metropolis.
