Turkey in January?

[alohatessa]

Hi, I am a 23 year old female from Portland Oregon.

After visiting a friend in Lebanon I am planning on heading to Istanbul in the begining of January. I have traveled alone in Europe, and am currently residing in Egypt, yet my mother and grandmother are freaking out about the idea of me travelling alone in Turkey. So in order to put them at ease, I am calling out for any contacts or travel buddies that will be in Turkey in the begining of January.

Thanks and aloha, Tessa
