I love Turkish culture, food, music, and dance! I loved being there. So, I am moving in September! :-)

I am already starting to look for an apartment, preferably in Taksim if it is not very expensive, as well as a job, and a large group of friends! :-)

I am working to meet and make friends to cook for, dance and sing with, and go out together.

My goals for living in Turkey
1. Learn Turkish (language and culture, especially songs and dance) fluently (with no accent?)
2. Integrate with the Turkish Sepharadic (Ladino speaking) community.
3. Have a group of Turkish friends who call me and come to my home regularly to eat and hang out.
4. Be adopted by a Turkish family.
5. Support equal rights for the LGBT community, and helping to organize.
6. Be an active part of the Turkish folk dance community.
7. Learn about Sufism and the Mevlevis.

More to come soon!
