A journey that began in Istanbul — and still continues
I'm Özlem Akçin. Born and raised in Istanbul. In 2014 I left the job I'd held for years. Around then, for the first time, I noticed spring arriving — and I still quietly celebrate the day I did.
This blog is less a travel diary than an exchange of knowledge. I write to encourage, to answer the question marks, to spark more exploration. Turkey's first personal tiny house YouTube channel started here too.
