About Me

Hi, I'm Defne (Daffy), an Aussie with Turkish roots living abroad in the heart of Istanbul. I moved here chasing something new and quickly fell in love with the language, the culture, the city and people! I created this guide to help travellers experience this beautiful country with confidence, connection and joy — and hopefully love it as much as I do!
