I started off just traveling for a month in turkey. then i stumbled into a job at the hostel and pushed my return ticket back a month. then i decided i wanted to stay for the summer and pushed it back to the end of august. then I decided i didnt want to go home at all and cancelled my reservation for my return flight altogether. after that i heard how easy it was to get a teaching job in istanbul, and since pretty much everyone working in the town i live in now will be in istanbul over the winter, it was a pretty easy decision. so i accidentally moved to turkey.
