This is one of the best DIY travel advice videos I've seen on KZfaq in a while. Very full of useful details and practical advice, and not a lot interruptions by the personality of the host who fancies himself or herself a rising star.

Everything she said is 100% true i lived in Istanbul for 3 months and i married a beautiful Turkish women and i have never been so thankful for going to Turkey ! My dream is to one day sell everything and retire in Istanbul and live by the Sea :) Thank you for posting this video :)

Wow Gabrielle is gorgeous and so smart ! It's not easy to master Turkish in a year. It always pays a lot to learn the local language when you are living abroad. It increases your living standards substantially. (Turkish expat living in Japan here)

happy to come across an informative video about Turkey

I strongly recommend you to visit ancient cities of Turkey. Maybe not much people know that Turkey is a kind of paradise of ancient cities and the oldest temple of the world is in Turkey : Gobekli Tepe. and for sun & beach lovers west seas side of Turkey is gorgeous! Fethiye .. Antalya .. are some sample for it ..

She learned a lot in two years, very accurate and good info.

Excellent guest... Eloquent and straight to the point !!!

Love Turkey ❤️❤️❤️

I loved this video! It helped me a lot, thank youuuuuuuuu

This is a really great video, I learn a lot from it!

Greetings from the san francisco of Turkey :)

The awkward moment when you realized you never took the dolmus. It is a packed version of taxi with strangers.

👏👏 I'm Turkish-American living in the US. If I decide to go back and live there, Izmir or Bodrum would be my first choice. She is right on about living and working in Turkey. Very informative interview, and she is very nice.

This is the one I've seen before. Loved this one!

A very good video on travel and relocation to new country for a brief period in ones early years of life.

I'm pretty surprised she was happy with transportation in Istanbul ! The main reason I moved out of Istanbul was the terrible traffic jams. And the angst it brings in people. I'm glad she found options that work for her. If you are living by the bosphorus side, it really helps because ferries are not affected by the jams, and getting to one side of the bosphorus to the other during busy hours through the bridge is really hell.

Lots of great information

Hi quick question..how did you guys got Apostille for your diploma..do i need apostille for xerox copy or orginal...

I thought she's Amy Adams :) Nice video, good info. Thanks.

Currently traveling through Turkey and teaching online. The upload speeds kinda suck so I have to rely on my phone's hotspot, which is fine too since the data plans are cheap.

She is the lost sister of Amy Adams!

good job

Love Turkey ❤️❤️❤️🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷

That’s my teacher ! 😀 I really would love to hear about her working experience in Saudi Arabia :)

How did you get job there?

My wife and I are travelling to Turkey soon. Which 3 of these 4 cities (Antalya, Bodrum, Fethiye and Izmir) are the nicest to live?

Hi!! I was just wondering what you think about state licensed teacher couples from America teaching and living in Turkey with a 1 year old baby. My husband and I are originally Turkish but have been in the United States for a very long time so we have dual citizenship. We are dying to move but have hesitations about finding a good day care center or whether the schools help out teachers accommodate for their kids’ needs. If you know anything, please let me know! This channel seems like a good resource to ask such questions. Thank you for the posts!

To me it’s mindblowing to see San Fran person coming to live in Turkey. I was on vacation in SF last year and I would move there from Istanbul (where I live now) in a heart beat if I could. Anywho, I really wonder how she’s been doing in KSA. I just returned to Istanbul for good after working 5 years in KSA (due to Covid). It is a brutally difficult place to live in.

I am Turkish and I live in Hawaii Usa.i always miss turkey.

The plane sound at the end of the video was scary!

Really cool 😃 Do you have an interview with her about Saudi Arabia plz

Do they give the english teacher health insurance there in turkey? What should we do as a english teacher to have health insurance???

Great video and great channel! Does anyone know where I can find information on teaching Spanish in Istanbul? My gf only speaks spanish but is a teacher..is it possible to teach spanish there?

Can you please guide me about scope and salary for Chartered Accountants in turkey....

It seems after the alien contact in the arrival movie things didn't go well and Amy Adams moved to Turkey. Seems legit.

That's an incredible deal, 2000US over there is great I'm having a hard time believing it, is this common for expat English teachers in Turkey?

Can someone have an onlineshop in Istanbul without knowing that much language an succeed?

I'm from Cappadocia and I'm an expat at Riyadh at the moment. 2k $ might be considered good for Turkey. Unfortunately, it is very hard to survive in KSA. Compound rents and hotel prices are really high when you compare it to Turkish accommodation options. There isn't even a comparable trade-off for living conditions here in KSA but it is only No+$=Yes to most of the expats.Expats living in a compound and who have a good community can feel mentally better than other expats. New Saudi policies are all against expats to turn the money inside the country. Saudization and new coming taxes are a part of this policy ...Good luck!

"İzmir is known to be more progressive and forward thinking". Woww !!!

May I know international school fee in turkey ? Like American or British school

How much was the Turkish Lira in comparison with the usd when you were there? It seems now the cost of living is even less when converting the usd to TL. 6 Turkish Lira is one usd now and I know the they are having a economic issue with there currency. I'm looking at moving there ans want to compare current prices? Thanks in advance

I’m from the uk and thinking bout moving to Turkey , how does the Visa issue work , do you need a residence permit and if so how do you attain this ect or do you just need to keep extending your tourist visa ect

It's cheap because of the exchange rates. Not cheap for locals

just hate the expat word only used for 1st world country people. if you are from developing countries or undevelopped country they call u immigrant... rather than that its great video with tons of information.

I get that the wage she received was quite high because of the education she received in the US, but what would someone get who only holds a 2 year degree? My 2 year degree is not in education either... I’m sure there are teaching jobs for people who hold an Associates Degree correct?

What requires from expats to work in tourism ?

What are some Country's that americans can go to and invest and buy real estate homes/apartments/land and actually own not a leasehold but freehold and either get residency or the process of getting permanent residency is not a long and difficult process? Could be in Europe/ASIA

Hi im half turkish-half swiss..my girl friend will come to turkey live with me..we looked online but jobs seemed scammy..which is the best website where we can look teaching jobs in turkey..she is a teacher in mn

Great info. More questions, did your apartments have air conditioning? Was there running water and electricity every day that you were there? Thank you. Great idea paying off college from your salary!! I'll show my teenager. She's freaking out over college tuition😒

NEVER go to the KSA Embassy, ANYWHERE! Its a roach motel!!!!!!!!!

Where you from

She's good looking too.

She is so beautiful

Hi,I am from India have applied for an internship in turkey and interviewed through Skype .3 weeks back I was told that I had been selected but didn't recieve the offer letter .The start date she mentioned was 16 th october and when contacted she mentioned that she is waiting for confirmation from the director .Should I believe her .

There are 11 American and British universities in Turkey with student population of 110.000 english language speaking turkish and foreigner students those taking all their courses in english language and from American and British lesson books. They have got 1 or 2 years duration of preparatory language classes at those universities and americans like to attend private universities like Bilkent University masters and doctorate degrees always in english language. Bosphorus University, Bilkent University, Middle East Technical University, Istanbul Technical University, Marmara University's all english language faculties, koc University, Sabanci University , Girne American University, Eastern Mediterenean University in Famagusta, Istanbul University's english language taught faculties are all in english and it is much easier for Americans and British companies to select those alumni by speaking in english their interviews and already know their lesson books alltogether. All Doctorate degree holders in all across Turkey know English and must speak in perfect english. I know Ege Ertem (American , San Fransisco resident, general manager at intel ), Dr. Sinan Sezer (biritish citizen, commerzbank director in Rotterdam Netherlands ), Ebru Ozguc (Vodafone Digital Marketing World Director, British resident in London ), Sarp Saganak (Swiss citizen, Wells Fargo Bank marketing director in Zurich ), Cemil Ozkan ( METU Mechanical engineer and Romanian citizen in Bucarest with his daughter) all of them are 46 years old like myself, my TED Ankara Private English language Middle and High School friends and from Ankara Turkey universities, used to be turkish citizens now american or british citizens. There cannot be culture difference when a turkish person studies at english language faculties of universities and make higher degrees in the world. They can extremely easily adapt themselves to all western cultures and people.

It’s not like anyone can go there and live there for a year without a long term visa. Americans can stay there up to 3 months unless you buy real estate then you can get a perm residency but there are guidelines. She had a job offer and that is how she was able to be there for 2 years but to say anyone can go there and stay there you can’t.

It's January 2022 ... I hope she is has long ago departed Turkey.

I am from india ...can I get these english teaching jobs in turkey ?

I just Ordered a Turkish Brand Asthma medication for my dog on a Legal on line Canada based Pharmacy. the brand I would get here in the states is simply un affordable for me right now.. Just a Little worried about quality and Safety any one Know any info on Medications/drugs made in Turkey.?

A LOT has changed since this was made. Between the inflation rates and the currency devaluation, the numbers are quite different at the edge of 2020. Also, most schools are not paying teachers in USD anymore.

City has not arap and asia continents... its europe and asia

She’s from my neck of the woods..

I'm turkish and i left Istanbul to move Germany because i need better job for make money. Turkey is great country and lovely but Istanbul is so crowded and degenerate. Example taxi drivers always swindle you if they seems you are foreign the city. 15+ million living in a city and it's annoying because you need to waiting in line everywhere everytime and so much noise and traffic. My advice is search decent before go to Turkey

I taught in Istanbul for a year and it was horrible - Ankara was much, much nicer in all respects.

that bird oozes sex...she is saf!

Wow Amazing how people look likes, she look just like Amy Adams.

The information present in this video is outdated. Today 1usd is over 5 Turkish Lira. Don't even dream about getting a job that pays 2000USD in Turkey. Even during the time this video was recorded it was difficult. The number of jobs that paid this much was very very limited in 2017 and now in 2019 it doesn't even exist. Schools now hires only locals most of the time. If a school hires you, they'll make you work day and night and sometimes Saturdays. You'd be very very lucky if a school helps you with finding a flat but don't expect that. Those schools that'll pay you well will make you sign a contract that's hard to break and they will handle your work permit. Don't even dream about finding someone who speaks English at the immigration dept. It's not gonna be an easy and fun journey as this video suggests. She got a contract organized and probably has a lot of qualifications you don't have. She got lucky, stayed for 2 years and then left. Her life was probably mostly home-school and some traveling so she never got involved in local problems which is very wise. If you're going to Turkey for work, don't. If you're going there as a tourist to explore and leave, go for it. I've lived there for 5 years and have lots of experience about this topic. Always be careful and have a lawyer advise when signing contracts. Have a Turkish speaking person with you when you go to govt offices.

I've had plenty of colleagues that taught in Saudi. All I will say is....I taught in 4 countries and I would never recommend Saudi for a Western woman. . Indonesia was fabulous and it is an Islamic country, so it's not the religion that I refer to , as much as the restrictive living.

2.000 Dollars in a month? Its little money for me. We r in 2019 now. I made 7000 Dollars as a bank manager 11 years ago.

Are you joking? Your salary was 3k USD and they help with flat money and student credit. And it’s ok for living. For that money in Istanbul you living like king. Not ok

Is she made of milk? So naturally beautiful

I have to say honestly she is so hot.

Why most women in the us sound hoarse like old ladies? Is that something natural? I mean this is how they sound or they actually can sound normal?

Hey you Immigrant ,whats up.

Who cares
