She writes of the country's largest city, "I feel like a character from a novel or a story while wandering the streets and mostly getting lost :). It is impossible not to feel the Istanbul in poems, stories and novels. It's a city where I can't get enough of its cultural and artistic activities and often can't keep up.”
