About me: My name is Nursu, 24 years old. I was born and raised in Turkey. Last year I graduated from the department of Russian Language and Literature. Currently, I continue teaching Turkish to foreigners and working as a freelance translator. I love learning languages and getting to know new cultures. I speak Turkish, English, Bosnian, Russian, and a little bit of Arabic:)

Our accommodation for this trip is a cozy hostel in Istanbul. It offers shared rooms accommodating 4-6 people, with shared bathroom facilities. However, upon request, I can arrange private rooms for those seeking a more personal space. This hostel provides a comfortable and convenient base for exploring the city, fostering a communal atmosphere perfect for making new friends and sharing travel experiences. Any questions about the trip? You can let me know in the Q&A section!
