When I’m not looking for a new home, devising ways to send my roommate a-packing, or rehearsing, this is what I’m doing.

Every time I think I’m going to yerleşmek (settle down) for awhile in one place, something changes.
My glorious three month stay in the US ends in just three weeks! Eight weeks ago, I was eager to return to Istanbul, find my Dream Apartment, and get back to gigging in Turkey.
Since then, however, I’ve been offered a three-month contract to perform in Italy! Should I take it? What about my Dream Apartment in Istanbul? Do I even need it? Then today, one of my agents in Turkey informed me of work in Cyprus. Having a place in Istanbul and flying to Cyprus for work sounds mighty glamorous. Meanwhile, I will find out soon about a possible working vacation in China and Hong Kong. I hope that comes through, too.
I want to do everything!
