Hello,
My name is Farbod and I will be moving to Turkey (Istanbul) in the near future for an indeterminate period of time for business. I thought that I would get a little head start into planning my stay and hopefully making some new friends as well conduct some networking through this forum before my arrival.
A little more about me; IÂ’m 28 years and my field of work is immigration. I provide solutions for investors wishing to attain a secondary residency. In collaboration with partners in Turkey, I will assist investors to get Turkish residency through the purchase of real estate.
I have been living in Toronto, Canada for the past 22 years. IÂ’ve traveled to numerous countries for vacation and briefly for business. But, this will be my first time residing somewhere in a new country by myself and IÂ’m very excited for such an amazing experience. I have been to Turkey numerous times and the past 2 years and have stayed in Nishantashi. But it was mostly work during each trip and we didnÂ’t leave the hotel except for dinners.
Hopefully through this forum I can meet easygoing people who have similar interests. My goal is to meet male/females who are cultured, educated, open minded and adventurous to make the transition into my new home a little more seamless. Also, if my line of work is interesting to anyone who sees a possibility for mutual benefit, we could meet and discuss matters further.
Since I would like to meet people with similar interests, here is a little more about my hobbies/interests:
- I have a Doberman that I will be bringing with me. If anyone has a dog and would like to meet at a park to let the dogs play, that would be great.
- IÂ’m a very big foodie. I definitely want to try as many food places as possible ranging from fine dining to the places that look like a hole in the wall, but serve the best food.
- I want to experience functions in the country such as museums and art galleries. Seeing the tourist/historical sites is also on my bucket list. IÂ’m very open to random events happening in any city and will want to explore as many events as possible.
- I go to the gym regularly. I also play soccer.
- I started taking French classes. I would like to continue them in Turkey. If anyone wants to take a French class, we could take a group class.
- I will try new things like cooking class, art class.
- IÂ’m not a big tv guy, but I do enjoy watching game of thrones and boardwalk empire.
- I love golf.
IÂ’m not exactly sure when my trip to Turkey will take place. It could be as little as 1 month and as long as 3 months, depending on the finalization of our contracts. But I figured this would give me more time to communicate with different people.
If anyone would like to chat further, you can email me at info[at]iicg.ca.
Regards,
Farbod
