Born and raised in Istanbul. I'm Yusuf, a 36-year-old English teacher and fellow traveler who's explored several countries. Having been in your shoes as a visitor, I now love showing fellow wanderers my city's real side - from hidden tea gardens to local street food spots only locals know. I understand what travelers need because I am one. Let's explore together!
