Hello friends,
It’s hard to believe that our journey together is coming to an end! I have loved sharing my life in Türkiye with you. Thank you for your great questions and excitement about learning a new place with me.
Living in Türkiye this year has been an amazing adventure. I’ve walked along the Black Sea, eaten lots of delicious food like köfte (meatballs) and baklava (a sweet dessert) and met kind people who welcomed me like family. I’ve also had the chance to teach English to university students and learn some Turkish words myself. If you remember from our video calls, merhaba means hello!
Cultural exchange means learning from each other. I’ve shared about my life in the U.S. with people here in Türkiye, and they’ve taught me about their lives here, including holidays, foods, music and traditions. I’ve learned that even though we may live in different parts of the world, we have a lot in common.
