New member checking in from Istanbul
Hey everyone,
I'm new around here! I'm a 23-year old American. I've been spent most of the last seven years abroad (university in Canada and New Zealand, then working in South Korea, Palestine, and Turkey, along with some travel when I have the time). I've been living and working in Istanbul for round about nine months now. Most of that time I've been doing some basic web design work and writing for a new alternative guidebook to Turkey, but I picked up some evening work teaching English for extra money a few weeks ago.
Looks like a great forum and I'm excited to browse around and talk about traveling with you all 
Sierra

Thanks for the welcome, guys!
I was in Montreal, at McGill University.
I do love Istanbul and for the first time in my life, I don't feel like moving on after nine months. Canadian Bacon, I will definitely eat some tasty Turkish food on your behalf!
