I am from Brazil, currently living in Antwerp, Belgium, where I work as as teacher at Antwerp International School. I have lived and worked in Istanbul, Turkey for 3 years and am a passionate by this country! I have a blog with tips for expats and travelers, the URL is [link moderated] and I am looking forward to making new connections!

If you allow me, I would like to request that Turkey is removed from being in the "Middle East" in this forum, to being in Asia, which is the official geographical location of Turkey! Thanks!!

Hi all,

My name is Laura and I am from Romania. I moved to Ankara two years ago as I got married to a Turkish man. So far so good except for the fact that I cannot seem to find work here, maybe I am not searching well enough

I am looking forward to meet other expats living in Ankara!

Cheers!
