18. Bölüm: Trading Places - A Conversation Between a Turkish Immigrant and a Turkish Emigrant The Turkish Breakfast Club

    • Places & Travel

This week's episode will hopefully hit home with a lot of you.

I've talked a lot about my experience as a Canadian expat who has spent most of my adult life outside of Canada and has chosen to put down roots halfway around the world in Turkey. 

My guest this week is Erkan Çakır [prono: ehr-kahn chuh-ker] and he has done the same but from the opposite side: After growing up and finishing university in Turkey, he moved to Canada, where over the past eight years he has slowly built up a community and new sense of identity.

So in this episode, you'll hear two immigrants trade some stories about our homes -- by birth and by choice -- and what that word even means.

If you haven't already, please subscribe, listen, review and share the podcast on any of the standard platforms. And follow us on Instagram and Facebook to get more from The Turkish Breakfast Club.
