I'm Australian born sociologist, author & #travelwriter who's been living in #Istanbul, #Turkey more than 15 years. I love dogs, red wine & travel but hate dairy. Note, ice cream is different food type. See more about Turkey & my writing at insideoutinistanbul.com
If you have a #sweettooth like I do, you'll know it's worth going that bit further to feed your cravings. Especially when it's for something special, like #kunefe in #Istanbul. See more @insideoutinistanbul instagram.com/p/DemmC36gSN8/…
When the dream of living in a foreign country is rudely shattered by gritty reality, you have two choices. #livinginturkey #lisamorrowwriter #istanbuldreams #booksaboutturkey #travelmemoirs Turn tail and run or bravely face what life throws at you.

Dining out #calissundaymarket style in #fethiyeturkey, on the Mediterranean coast in Turkey. It's casual.

#fethiyelife Ads for shops & products here in Fethiye are bit hectic but I think #Ataturk would have been pleased that English is spoken. #expatlife #livinginturkey Question is, do they proofread before going public? You'll see what I mean in this post

#Fethiye on the Mediterranean coast of #Turkey's going a bit up market with delish Italian pizzas Papelli. Find out about the newish kids on the block @insideoutinistanbul instagram.com/p/DexG9lWDDaX/…
At long last this beautiful Art Nouveau building in Istanbul that I first saw in 1990 is being restored.
Temperatures are much higher in #Fethiye for longer in the year than in Istanbul. Having easy access to beaches in Fethiye is great, but there are also lovely secluded spots where you can go for a dip, like the #toparlarselalesi, a waterfall near Lake Köyceğiz, west of Fethiye.
Now I’m splitting my time between bustling metropolis Istanbul & sprawling agricultural town of #fethiye, I go to local #turkishmarkets more. Of course, I like to eat t the displays make my heart sing. Hmm wonder if I can incorporate garland of dried chillis into my wardrobe?
#balat on banks of Golden Horn, has long been popular with visitors to #Istanbul who think its colourful steps, houses & shops are all there is to see. My personal guide on #whattoseeinbalat on my website #InsideOutInIstanbul will make you think again.

7 weeks after #cmchandsurgery & recovery is going slowly. #writerslife #handsurgery See where I am now @insideoutinistanbul instagram.com/p/DeZuEjNAfh4/…
Walking backstreets of #Balat, Istanbul I came across these toys in a truck. #istanbullife #livinginturkey Sides are perspex & I'm not sure if it's a snazzy delivery van, mobile display case or something else. There was no sign or other clue. What do you think? All ideas welcome.
