Working in Palestine and Turkey

Interest forums / Travel Bloggers and Pathfinders

Hey everyone,

I'm a 23-year old expat from the States writing for a guidebook (not Lonely Planet... shhh!) and doing web design in Istanbul. I started my blog last year when I was headed to Nablus, Palestine for three months to teach English, and now I type up an entry every week or so when the yen strikes me. These days it's mostly musings about Things of a Turkish Nature and my endless trials and tribulations when it comes to learning the local language.

The latest post is about superstitions in Turkey, including djinn and the evil eye. You can find it here:

Blog: I Would Go Living In Lights

I'd love to connect with other expats (not necessarily in Turkey!), as well as anybody currently traveling here or planning a trip to this beautiful, historical, exciting, and sometimes frustrating country.

Cheers!
