Hi there! My name’s Syahirah but you can call me Syira for short. I’m a Malaysian who recently relocated to Istanbul, Türkiye to follow my husband who is pursuing his studies here. I was a Chemist back in Malaysia and am now looking for new opportunities to reinvent myself while travelling around beautiful Türkiye!

I have 2 cats back home in Malaysia and a lover of cats and dogs. I enjoy historical and natural wonders of the world and can converse in both Malay and English. I’m also learning how to crochet now. I’m cheerful and friendly in nature!
