Do you know anyone who knows Dutch? Because I have a long diary about my trip in Dutch. It is 64 pages and too much to translate... sorry. |

I am sure Deli K would help, but she's just moved to Izmir and I know she is really busy at the moment and I MISS HER!  There is also Chantal - it might be worth sending them a PM, perhaps they can help Trudy

I went to Turkey alone this year too. I spent wonderful 19 days in Istanbul, Ankara, Bursa and Izmir. I think the best option for those who travel is to have friends in Turkey. At least, that was my way. Had I gone with a group I wouldn't have experienced the joys of being the only foreigner on the bus, being driven around by a great friend in Bursa (although it almost cost me a heart attack  ), doing what I want when I want and visiting real Turkish houses. Also travelling alone you can test your knowledge of language - you can't imagine how proud I was to get to the Izmir bus station and explaining everything in turkish to the bus service!

Daydreamer, it is fun isn't it to be the only foreigner? Especially in places where they are not so used to them. By the way, if you do not have friends at the start of your journey, that's no problem. Maybe one will have them at the end!

so i was gonna ask,is there any companies who finds families who accept a foreign visitors?or who gives you personal guide (but for less money than the regular ones)
is there anybody who experienced such kind of thing?or would you like to discover the real turkiye with that way?
thanks
i meant would you like to have a real discover if u had chance? ehh sorry it was little bit complicated |
International Interaction Society has a similar activity. IIS provides accomodation (family houses or uni students' houses)and a friend (not a professional guide but a native who knows the place very well) and takes foreigners to less visited touristic places (I mean, IIS doesnt give this service in Antalya, Alanya, Izmir, Bodrum etc..) the prices are very cheap because this is a non-profit organization who volunteers to intruduce Turkish culture to foreigners.

You bet it is! I had a great time trying to communicate with co-travellers As for making new friends - it is unavoidable in Turkey, they are so friendly!

Trudy send them my way (PM/in this forum) and I will do as best I can! I will get back to you if I am having trouble, which will be more than likely
