In December of 2008, I made the life changing decision to leave Australia and move to Turkey to begin my new career as an English teacher. It didn't take long for me to develop a deep affection for my adopted country. In Turkey, my life was totally unpredictable and exciting. Everyday brought new experiences and challenges and I felt totally alive. Throughout the six and a half years that I lived there, I travelled extensively to every corner of this diverse country.Turkish Diaries is a collection of short stories from those six and a half years. They are all true stories and I think give an insight into Turkish life through the eyes of a foreigner. They illustrate the good, the bad and the ugly, the colour, the warmth of the locals and the unpredictability and randomness of everyday life.
