Hi I hope this is allowed,  I'm not an expat.

My late aunty and uncle were and lived in Turkey in the early 2000s.

Hello Julesdp,

Welcome to Expat.com

Hello Dr. Kutlay, welcome on board.  You have a very unique array of hobbies/interests.  I look forward to seeing future posts on this MB.  We all enjoy active and engaging members on this forum.

I am of Turkish heritage, born in the US, living in Minneapolis currently with plans to move to Eskisehir within 2 years.  For a 3.5 year stint in my youth, we lived in Türkiye and I attended first grade in Ankara after which we returned to the US.  Thus I can speak Turkish with very limited vocabulary.  Maybe we can have çay together once I make my move.

Best Regards

Greetings! I'm Joyce, a driven engineering student with a fervent ambition to become an English educator. My academic journey in engineering has honed my analytical skills and problem-solving abilities, equipping me with a solid foundation to tackle complex challenges. Yet, amidst the technical rigor, I've discovered a profound fascination for language and its ability to connect people across borders and cultures.

Inspired by this realization, I am determined to pursue my passion for teaching English. I see language education not only as a means of imparting linguistic skills but also as a gateway to fostering empathy, cultural appreciation, and global citizenship. Through innovative teaching methods, personalized instruction, and a commitment to nurturing each student's unique talents, I aim to create an inclusive and dynamic learning environment where students can thrive. Join me on this transformative journey as we harness the power of education to shape a brighter, more interconnected future for generations to come.

Hi all.  I am originally from Istanbul Turkey, moved to US in 2005 and moved back to Turkey in 2020 with my American husband. At the moment we live in Istanbul Kadikoy Moda, looking to meet people that we can connect to.

@Bhavna Thanks a lot!

Hi

I'm a newbie to the forum!

We (me, my wife + 4 kids) are looking to relocate from London to Antalya this summer.

Hoping to get some useful info and advice, and connect with some of you!

I'm looking forward to reading through existing posts first.

@Julien we are a married couple living in Germany. After visiting Turkiye many times we would like to expat to Izmir or Antalya. We are looking for places in Izmir where we can maybe meet up with others who have already expated to Izmir. Are there such places. Teşekkürler

@Hanif_O Hello Hanif. We are also visiting Antalya but this May. Also hoping to get some info. Especially healthcare. D & R

@dmia Hi both! I hope your visit is productive and you get all the info you need.

My wife and I have booked a short trip next month, as we're hoping to narrow down the search to one or two districts, see some of the schools if we can, connect with some professionals (real estate, accountancy, immigration), and hopefully meet some expats who have moved from the UK.

I hope you are considering Mahmutlar in Alanya, even if closed right now (I think things will change), Alanya itself is busy and very disorganized, we live in Mahmutlar and we are very happy with infra-structure (Restaurants, if you pay if very close to the beach (even if I never go), shops, reasonable prices (for day to day), public transport, I think for children also the right structure)

Good luck anyhow, but for me Antalya and even Alanya feel lik megacities.
