Thanks Conor – the best way to find tickets online is to go to the website of one of the particular teams playing. If it’s any of the big 3 teams tickets may be hard to come by. Let me know if that helps!

Just wondering about the football, there’s a couple of games on the weekend we’ll be there. Just wondering how / where you buy the tickets?!
Thanks!

I’m glad to hear you say that Carrie, I wasn’t sure if I was being too particular. I just felt the changes were too much and really didn’t capture the gist of the original post. Plus, as you mention, blocks of text were removed. It put me off a bit to writing for company blogs like Hostel Bloggers.

Well-done! I just compared it to the one posted on Hostel Bloggers, and I must say, I’m shocked that they would change your original content after asking you to be a guest blogger. I can understand if they make a few changes, but it looks like a significant amount of original text was removed and replaced with something else. How disappointing. Hostel Bloggers has been hounding me to write for them for months now, but I’ve been putting them off in order to complete my paid freelancing work. After seeing what they did to your article, I can safely scratch them off my list of people to get back to. Personally, I like the version you wrote much better and I’m really glad you posted it as you originally intended it.

Hi Lisa,

Nice to meet you as well! So many things to do, where to begin…

There is such a variety of places to see in Turkey and it can be overwhelming. Depending on how much you want to be on the go and your budget, I do highly recommend making your way to see the west and eastern parts of the country.

Are you looking for Istanbul specific, or general places to see around Turkey? Let me know and I’ll do my best to help you and point you to some great resources.

As for your other question, I think 4-6 days in Istanbul is a good amount of time depending on how much of Turkey you want to explore.

Let me know a bit more about your plans and I’ll be able to give you more specific advice.

Btw, your trip (and those like it) are really inspirational and are fun to read!
