Hi, I am Suzan! After living very different cities of the world. I am back to my home town, Istanbul. The rapid development it has undergone in recent years seems to have faded the magic of the city. As someone who was born and raised here, I enjoy to help both Istanbul and you to hear the beautiful voice of Istanbul. We just need to get away from the main, and get close to alternatives a little bit. Fascinating! See you there!
