Hello!
Thank you for visiting my blog! For those that don't know my story, I just graduated from Goucher College with a B.A in Historic Preservation. I studied abroad in Istanbul last spring (to learn more about that, visit my first blog at sallygordon.livejournal.com) and now I am returning to teach English! I suppose part of the interest in returning is my boyfriend, Sinan, who I met while abroad and is still in school.
I leave in a couple days, and my plan is to become certified to teach English through a five week program in Istanbul that starts in February, then hopefully find a job after that. On Monday I will go to interview for the certification program. I have no idea how long I will be gone for, it could be a couple months or a couple years. Currently I am trying to shove my entire life into two suitcases. It is not going well.
Anyway, I don't know how interesting this blog will be, but I would love feedback and comments from you! Next week Sinan and I are going to his family's home in Antalya, where I will learn to cook with his mom, so you should learn about Turkish cooking!
Thanks for reading, and please keep in touch!
About Me
- sallygordon
- I'm a foreigner who moved to Istanbul in January 2009 after studying abroad at Bogazici University in the spring of 2008. I'm here to experience a fascinating culture through teaching English, eating food, trying to cook, trying even harder to speak the language, traveling, and being in a relationship with a Turk. Please feel free to leave comments! Thanks for reading!
