Moving to Turkey was one of the best decisions of my life, but it was filled with a lot of challenges as I learned how to setup and settle into a brand new life in a completely foreign country and culture.

One of the invaluable resources I still use to this day is Yabangee.com -- a play on the Turkish word yabancı, which means 'foreigner' or 'stranger'. The website is filled with thousands of helpful articles about life in Turkey, from practical guides and advice columns to a full on relocation service section. They also host some great events, including a weekly quiz night that I have won in the past and therefore love (not-so-humble brag).

The co-founder and co-director of Yabangee, Tarik Yassien, sat down with us this week to talk about his own journey from a yabancı to a local -- and some tips for how you can do it, too.
