Some say I may be having a mid-life crisis. But I haven’t even hit mid-life yet!
I am a Philly Girl at heart, by way of West Chester, PA. My dream is to see the world by living in it. I want to bring the world closer by sharing my experiences of life, love, religion, food, music, and everything that makes us one.
One World! One Peace!
Recently, I married my Turkish beau. I quit my day job as a lawyer and moved to Ankara, Turkey! I am currently unemployed and don’t speak the language.
What now???!!!

Hey T,
You go gurl! I am absolutely amazed at all the information you have amassed in such a short period of time. The pic’s are great!
Lets get that Pentax working, if you can without it bringing unnecessary attention to ones self. You know I’ve been waiting for this from you. You are truly a inspirational credit to your family and friends. I can see now I’ll be waiting with baited breath for your next blog. Jeez, I’m so jealous…LOL. Are you going to share more old architect in the near future? Oh, and you know I’m subscribing! I don’t want to miss out on anything.
Thanks so much for sharing.
Always,
Artie

HI Viviana! Welcome to Ankara! Thanks for following the blog. I am a bit busy at the moment, but let’s try to catch up soon!
Hi Terry,
I am also an American/Turkish bride. I am originally from New Mexico/Texas, but currently live in Arizona with my Turkish husband. We were married last summer in Ankara. We also just returned from Turkey a couple of days ago. We visit Turkey every year to catch up with friends & family.
Anywho, I totally understand the language challenge, I have been attempting to learn Turkish, myself. I have 2 Turkish lessons/series that have been very helpful. One is from Pimsleur and the 2nd is from the Turkish govt. which also includes a booklet. I would be more than happy to share these with you by email, if you are interested?
Good Luck on your adventure :*)!

Hi Terry,
I have to thank you for the blog! We have been in Ankara for a couple, three months now and you have helped with my transition (which is still coming along). take care- kim
Welcome to Ankara Kim! Please let me know if you need any other information!
Terry-
Thanks for the christmas tree ideas…we were gonna head out to bauhaus, but maybe we will explore now! The girls have been sick, so not much travel with the snow and the illnesses. Take care and do not hesitate to email! kim
Hello,
My name is Kristen and I work on a popular American TV show about people who have recently relocated abroad. For our upcoming season, we are hoping to find people who have relocated to Turkey. In my research, I came across your blog and am reaching out to you in hopes you might be able to help me find participants for our show.
House Hunters International tells the story of an individual, couple or family who has bought property outside of their native country. Being on our show is a lot of fun for our participants and a great way for them to document their exciting search for a home and new life abroad. It’s also a very positive show which offers a wonderful opportunity to inform our viewers about interesting countries and cultures worldwide.
We’re currently looking to cast people who have recently relocated and have bought or are currently looking for a home abroad. If you fit this qualification or know anyone who does, I would love to tell you more about the project. You can contact me at househunterscasting@leopardfilms.com.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Hello, I have also moved to Ankara recently, although my bf is not Turkish and I can move around in Turkish without any major problem (English is not my mother language either, but my education here is in English). Your blog is very nice, congratulations!
Welcome to Ankara Reyhan!! Wish you all the best!
Really good blog, I’m enjoying your stuff. Good luck with your life in Turkey, I’ve lived here in my quiet backwater for 14 years and loving it – warts and all!
Best wishes, Alan
Thanks Alan! I love getting new readers. I will check out your blog and I can add it to the list on my blog if you want more readers.
Warts? I thought the doctors here were good at removing those!
Oh, maybe that’s moles!
This blog is awesome! I just moved to Ankara and am also blogging my experiences. It’s nice to see someone staying so positive. Thanks for spreading some love:-)
Thanks Sierra! It’s not always easy! Good luck to you and I will check out your blog. Please keep reading. I was on vacation so I didn’t post as much recently.
Oh cool! Well I can’t wait to see more! And if you want to see my blog it lives at expatsierra.tumblr.com.
Dear Terry,
We were in Ankara for four years and are now in Cappadocia. Your blog is great. I am trying to contact you but can’t find a contact form or email on your blog. I’m probably just not able to see what is right in front of me. Can you write me. I want to invite you to join a few other Turkey bloggers on a blog improvement project in 2012.
thanks,
Duke Dillard
Merhaba Terry! I’ll be looking for your new posts from now on.
Good luck in this new year!
Cheers,
Joy
Thanks Joy! And Happy New Year to you too!
Hi Terry – lovely writing, I enjoy reading your blog – I visited Ankara several times around 2000 to 2002 while my “Turkish beau” was serving his military service there – we subsequently married, lived in the UK, got divorced, and now I’m a singleton living in Turkey (previously Bodrum, now Kusadasi) so I enjoy your discoveries, your insight, your loves and laughs … keep writing, keep sharing
Hi Victoria! I truly appreciate your becoming a reader of my blog. Thanks for the support!
