My name is Leia and I will be moving to Izmir summer 2018 from Canada. We have lived in Turkey before, three years ago, but we were in Istanbul. I am a little apprehensive of Izmir because it is such a smaller city with less resources (only one true International school, very few French tutoring options and less expats.). Some of the the expat Canadians choose to live in Urla, this looks very far away. I am eager to arrive in the Spring to look for a home for my family.
