The Actress “Chakameh Chaman Mah” living and working at GEM in Istanbul

A great way to meet locals and expats is to reach out to groups you naturally associate with before you depart from home. If you are into photography, Google a local photography club or group. If you love cooking, look for a local cooking class or club. Many of these groups have regular monthly activities and can be a great addition to your itinerary. They can also help provide on-the-ground information, tips, people to meet for coffee, and invitations to homes for a meal with people you’ve already vetted and established trust with.
