A natives point of view: We are really happy to have a Turkish journalist in our team. Her name is Iraz. She is 17 years old and lives in Istanbul. She lives on the European side of Istanbul and will inform us about her favourite things in and about the city. She likes how it is very easy it is to find good Turkish food in the city, because there are typical Turkish restaurant everywhere. Furthermore, she enjoys going to a nice district called Kadikoy, which has many nice places to hang out with friends and family. For more fun, she goes to a huge street called Istiklal, which houses many coffeeshops, places to go for drinks, places to play pool, places to go bowling and museums. Our dear Iraz’ favourite museum is the SALT Museum, because of its contemporary art and the fact that they change their exhibitions every month. Finally, she encourages everyone who reads this to go to Istanbul, as it is a city where the old meets the new.
