About

I've been in Turkey for 22 years now. Came here to teach after a few years teaching in Greece. Only planned to stay for a 'year or two' !!! I love it here. After teaching for 6-7 years at some of the best schools and universities in the country, I decided to leave academe and was offered a job in the private sector as a copy editor/writer. Still working for the same company after 16+ years. Left Istanbul in 2000 and bought a house in a tiny village. I've been restoring it ever since. Owning a house is a full time job!! Plus, I have four dogs and a cat. They keep me really busy.
Interests: geology, , mosaic & glass studio

Cost of living a very conservative life by Rod007

Hi all, What would be the monthly cost for living a very conservative life for 1 person? For instance how much a 1 bedroom flat would be a month? Internet and so on? Thanks in advance.

Sort of depends on WHERE you want to live. Cities are expensive generally. I live in a tiny village now (after 10 years in Istanbul). I'm often shocked at how little it costs to survive. Read More
