I’m so glad that i had the chance to met Mehemet!! I stayed in his house for 5 days.

Tamara was an amazing workawayer, so friendly and outgoing. I loved learning about her life and traveling experiences.
Traveling around the world is my biggest dream, she encouraged me to do it, by telling lots of her stories in the countries she traveled.
She also helped me in the house, cooking, washing the dishes.
She is a good photographer,… read more

Wow! How can I explain how grateful I am for having met Mehmet? He introduced me some of his friends, showed me the best places to have dinner in his neighborhood, and even took me to an open air cinema festival. We drank beers, had breakfasts together at his place (and also at some restaurants), talked about our cultures and our countries, and… read more

It was great to have conversations, make jokes, visiting somewhere, having fun together with them. They are very polite and respectful by their nature, were asking me before… read more

Alex and I stayed with Mehmet and Tayfur for 5 nights in their apartment on the Asian side of Istanbul. Kadikoy was a very interesting place to stay - it isn't full tourists, so you get to experience a more authentic lifestyle. It is easy to cross to the European side via subway or boat. We had plenty of free time to explore the city… read more

Thank you guys for this awesome… read more
