When I’m travelling I like to pretend that I’m a local. Then I’m sitting in cafés watching the locals, imitating them and thinking about how it would be to stay. How my every day life would be like. Which café would be my favourite one? In which super market would I go for shopping? Which…
It’s my second time in Istanbul now – the first time, around five years ago, I only had about 24h. And I saw nothing. We arrived late at night, drove to the hotel and the next morning we drove back to the Sabiha Gökçen airport, where we were filming for an airline. So I saw…
