Arrival!




Hello!

Back by popular demand, I have once again resumed a chronicle of my life on the road. As the title of this particular blog indicates, I am in Turkey - Istanbul to be specific. I have arrived with four other friends, and our plan is to get to stay in Istanbul for a while, learning about the people and the culture and teaching some English to support ourselves.

So in this blog you will hopefully find some posts about the history, architecture and hotspots in and around Istanbul, as well as some of the joys and trials around the life of an English-as-a-foreign-language teacher. And I'll try to post some pictures to keep things interesting.

Today was our first full day in Turkey, taking a tour around our part of the city, a district called Beyoglu. It's a vibrant and happening little area of the city, full of busy streets and winding back-roads.

It's an exciting city to be in, I'll be sure to keep you updated on the continuing adventures!

  3. Good to hear you have arrived and are well! I hope that you will post often and post about things you think are far too trite or insider-esque for your readers. And I hope for pictures.

    Best,
    Melanie
