I’m a professional chef from Ireland. For years, I worked in busy restaurant kitchens, dealing with long shifts and constant pressure. I loved cooking, but I felt like I had lost the joy that made me choose this profession in the first place.
During a vacation in Turkey, I fell in love with the fresh ingredients, local markets, and the relaxed lifestyle. When I returned home, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. That’s when I decided to explore the possibility of moving.
I searched for property through https://turk.estate/en/ and was surprised at how simple the process felt. I found a cozy apartment close to the city center and not far from the sea. The kitchen is spacious enough for experimenting with new recipes inspired by Turkish cuisine.
Now I run small private dining events and cooking classes for locals and tourists. My passion for food has returned, stronger than ever. Moving here wasn’t just a change of address — it was a rediscovery of myself.
