Inside Out In Istanbul By now most people know you can’t believe everything you see on social media. Nonetheless, people fall in love with Istanbul as captured in dreamy photos of mosques, ancient hamam, glasses of ruby...

Dreaming of living in #istanbul? #expatlife #istanbulife #livinginistanbul Here's a glimpse www.facebook.com/InsideOutInI...

I was taken aback when foreign friend #livinginIstanbul for some time didn't know about #gezi, series of protests & public actions that took place in Istanbul 12yrs ago. In case you missed it or are tear gas hazy on details here's piece I wrote at time www.abc.net.au/news/2013-06...

How you experience #Istanbul depends on who you are. Tourist, traveller, resident or local. #expatlife #livinginistanbul #travelmemoir I'd come as tourist & lived in Istanbul for year or so in the past so I thought I knew it all, until I moved here permanently... www.instagram.com/p/DIRuo-pv7DM/

There are 9 construction sites in 1 block radius of my #istanbul home. #livinginistanbul #istanbullife After being away for 1 month, progress has been made. 2 buildings finished, 1 foundations dug, 1 completely knocked down, 4 ongoing, 1 empty block untouched. Noise & dirt continue. #urbanrenewal

Had lunch with new friend from US then went to see #Tophane Kasri. I've often passed it on bus & thought it looked grubby but very pretty. Newly restored it's extremely elegant in quiet, understated sort of way. Doubt I'll ever see all #istanbul treasures, but I'll try! #expatlife #livinginistanbul

I have long been a #kadikoy girl so I was thrilled to be interviewed for our very own local magazine, #kadikoylife . #expatlife #livinginistanbul I'm sure my Turkish was less than perfect but Kadir Bey was charming & patient, making it a very pleasant experience. www.kadikoylife.com/istanbulun-b...
