Hello, Globetrotter!🧳 Are you looking for a trip in Istanbul? Do you consider yourself a history geek? Then, welcome to my page!🙋🏻♀️ About me? Just call me GG🍃 I was born in Baden, Switzerland🇨🇭 & have been living in Istanbul, Turkiye🇹🇷 for quite a long time. Shh🤫 I must say, although I can still understand Deutsch🇩🇪 to some degree🤔, my German knowledge has become a bit rusty😅 I've been working on to revive it lately. *Cheers* So far, I have been to Rome🏛 Florence🍷 Pisa🔭 Zürich🥨 & Budapest🎡 & wish to see more🗺📌 At present, I lead Istanbul🌉 trips as a local guide🎒 (Yes, you won't be caught in tourist traps *wink*) I hold a BA in Ancient Languages & Culture📜 *Certe, Latinam didici* ... and yes, I often think about the Roman Empire, and I'm not even a guy👀 Moreover, I am an art🎨🖌 science🔬 culture🎭 & language🔠 geek. Also, I make digital illustrations🌌 As a hobby, I write stories✍🏻 & work on my novel projects📖📚 (And yes, using emojis is fun when writing a description about myself😬) ~ Hope to meet you in person! Stay safe✌🏻

‘Istanbul, Turkey Trip to Sultanahmet (Old Town), Taksim and Besiktas’, Jan 2024Incredible experience I had exploring Istanbul with Gulcin as my guide! Her warmth and enthusiasm for sharing the rich history and culture of this beautiful and complex city were infectious. Gulcin's deep knowledge of ancient scriptures and hieroglyphs added a fascinating layer to our journey, making each site we visited come alive with stories from the past. And let's not forget about Dilara, Gulcin's delightful friend who joined us for part of the journey! Her infectious laughter and easygoing nature added an extra layer of fun to our adventures. Thank you, Gulcin, for being an exceptional guide and for sharing your love for Istanbul with me. I'll cherish the memories of this trip forever, and I can't wait to return and explore even more with your expert guidance!"

‘Istanbul, Turkiye Trip - Sultanahmet (Old Town) - Taksim- Besiktas’, Jun 2023Gülçin was flexible in accommodating the start date of the trip to fit my needs. During the trip with her, I had the opportunity to visit all the major attractions in Istanbul. The Istanbul Palaces is an absolute must-visit. I also appreciated Gülçin's openness to suggestions for improving future trips. Additionally, I gained in-depth cultural insights into Turkey through the experience. 😊
