Hey There! My name is Max
As a student from the Netherlands, I know how exciting and challenging it can be to move to a new country for a semester or two. When I prepared for the exchange, I spent hours online searching the information that I needed.
That’s why I created this website. This is the guide that I desperately wished for when I prepared for my own adventure. My goal is to guide you through your period of preperation, make you feel confident and prepared. This way you can focus on what really matters, making incredible memories.
A Student’s Guide to Istanbul
On this website, I’ll help you navigate it all. I’ll provide information on visa requirements, help you find the best apartment, and guide you through the city’s complex transport system. You’ll find everything I learned along the way.. We will go through it all. I’m excited to share the best places to eat, amazing places to visit, and everything else you have to know to make the most of your time in this city.
This isn’t just a travel guide, it’s a resource from a student, for a student.
Let’s Connect
When I’m not studying or writing this blog, you can usually find me exploring a new side of Istanbul, trying the best Turkish tea, or attempting to practice a few more words of Turkish.
I’m so excited to share my journey with you! Feel free to connect with me on social media or send me a message/email if you have any questions. Your Istanbul adventure is about to begin, and I’m here to help :)
