Intro There are many reasons I’m glad that I’ve born in Adana but a more recent one is that what Europe and this part of Turkey calls heat waves are the regular summer weather in Adana. Which means I’m prepared to deal with this weather both physically and mentally. The number one rule to...

Intro In my hometown, Adana, summers are really hot. Which means most people do the bare minimum during the summer months and just wait for it to be over. That’s why my brain just doesn’t want to accept the fact that I’m having a really busy June — and possibly a busy summer in general — and it...

Intro I was hoping to post a Weekstarter from Brussels last week but hitting my all-time low sleep score according to my Apple Watch and then not being able to sleep again rest of the day made it impossible to write anything. Instead, I’m writing you from Ankara. After staying at home for...

Intro About a month ago my on-and-off back pain decided to stay on and forced me to see a doctor. After a month long process (two week wait for MRI, then another two week wait to see the doctor again for results) what I was hoping for a simple and easier to manage muscle issue turned out...

Intro I skipped the last week partly because I’m still dealing with the problem on my back and leg. Hopefully I’ll get some clear answers about it in two days. It’s been a month since our adventure with our health system and even though it’s a bit slow, it’s nice to see my insurance payments to...
