Hello from Pat in Istanbul

Hi everyone, I am Pat Hilliard.
I’m an American artist and teacher living in Istanbul since 2011.
I came here thinking maybe I would only stay for a a year and I never left. I bought my apartment in Kadıköy in 2017.
My two adult children and grandchildren live in America.
I travel to the US a couple of times a year to visit family in California and New York, so I am always interested in exchanges in those place.
World travel is also an appealing idea.
With enough planning time I can be persuaded to arrange reciprocal exchanges.
