Dreaming of Summer in Bodrum, Turkey
March 25, 2019
I began writing this on a SNOW DAY here in Istanbul. Who doesn’t LOOOOVE snow days? Although, I have to be honest…I am tired of winter and wet weather. Since October it has seemed to rain non-stop. I don’t think I’ve ever worn my rain boots this many days in my life. I live and … More Dreaming of Summer in Bodrum, Turkey
Bologna: Where the GELATO is a literal life-changing experience…
October 29, 2018
I’ve done it again and taken a loooong hiatus from here. With the start of a new teaching year (and embarking upon an online master’s program), somehow I woke up this week and realized that next week is Halloween…and just how did that happen???? This summer was spent with visits ‘home’ to America, then … More Bologna: Where the GELATO is a literal life-changing experience…

August 4, 2018
This post is the follow-up to my previous one about my trek to Gaziantep, a city in Southeastern Turkey famed for Turkish cuisine.

While that may be true–as I do love food– the dishes from Gaziantep really stand out to me as … More Gaziantep: Into the land of the kebab…

Back to Antioch…
March 24, 2018
One of the 1st posts that I wrote here on GirlMeetsTurkey was about my trip 3 years prior to Antakya, or ‘Antioch‘ in English… in Turkey’s southeastern region of Hatay. That post focused primarily on my love affair with the way they make hummus and also gave some background history. If you want to check … More Back to Antioch…
Weekend Getaway: Edirne and Ciğer…
December 18, 2017
Life always seems to turn a bit upside down when the new school year starts. Summer vacation is always a whirlwind of going ‘home’ to the states and experiencing brief reverse culture shock, trying to see everyone, not being able to see everyone, and returning ‘home’ to Istanbul where you are suddenly thrown back into … More Weekend Getaway: Edirne and Ciğer…
