Why Istanbul Is a Dream for Digital Nomads

This was never meant to be a long stay.

But the longer we were in Istanbul, the more it pulled us in.

In this video, I open up about how this city—its energy, diversity, and everyday magic—completely surprised us. From sipping Turkish tea in quiet alleyways to ferry rides that glide between continents, Istanbul has a way of making you feel like you belong, even when you’re just passing through.

For digital nomads, slow travelers, and anyone chasing that feeling of discovery and comfort in one place—Istanbul might just be the perfect in-between. A city where ancient meets modern, and strangers quickly become friends.

And honestly… I don’t want to leave.
