Hello everyone

​My name is Sabrina from Tanzania. I am a professional baker and I also have a passion for childcare and teaching children. I have documented my work with kids through photos and videos to show my experience.

​I am planning to move to Türkiye soon. Biraz Türkçe biliyorum and I am continuing to learn more every day because I love the culture.

​I am looking for job opportunities in the baking industry or as a professional nanny/tutor. I would appreciate any advice on the job market and the visa process.

​Teşekkür ederim.

@Zvdq Pht

welcome to the forums! do check the settings, its actually Türkiye (so if you type T.. U.. it wont show.. try copy pasting or just search after T)

Hello Zvdq Pht,

If you need any assistance, please get in touch with me, and I will help you with this.

@Cheryl

thank you!

thanks to @amnajaffri i was able to find it

But a suggestion: enable Turkeye's spelling as Turkeye as well (normal U, without the 2 dots as not everyone knows about that)

thanks

Hi everyone — Aleksey from Alanya.

Russian-born, living in Türkiye with my family. I work as an international financial advisor / wealth manager (CornerStone Family Office). Mostly help expats and families who already have capital and need structure: banking setup, currency risk, long-term investing, and the boring but important “where does the money live” question.

Happy to share practical notes from Alanya life and from working with families abroad. Looking forward to reading the forum.

Hello Aleksey,

Welcome to Expat.com 😀

I have noticed that you have started sharing some informative posts across the forum. That is great! Just make sure your posts stay free of promotional content.

You should also consider registering your business in the Türkiye business directory .

Hi everyone — Bek from Alanya.

I grew up in Kazan and have been living in Alanya for five years now. I've worked in real estate for many years, and here I run Azam Agent, an agency focused on apartments, villas and new-builds along the coast.

Most of the people I work with are expats buying in Turkey for the first time. I help them pick the right district, check the title deed and permits before they commit, get through the tapu transfer, and sort out the residence permit afterwards. Five years of living here also means I know the less glamorous side: which areas are noisy in summer, how much running costs really are, and what to ask a developer before signing.

Happy to share practical notes on the Alanya property market and everyday life here. Looking forward to reading the forum.
