Welcome to my blog. An editor and writer by trade, I moved to Istanbul and am giving private English lessons. I enjoy exploring Istanbul, staying up on current events, running, traveling, learning Turkish (slowly).
I currently work as a full-time instructor at Sehir University’s English Preparatory Program.
Please contact me if you are interested in English lessons or if you need an editor: ezra.mannix@gmail.com.
I hope you enjoy my random musings.

I enjoyed your article regarding Canakkale and Turkish hospitality. I will be visiting Canakkale in a week for 10 days and I could hardly wait to get there. I will be flying in to Istanbul and will take the bus to Canakkale.

Ezra,
I am in Istanbul for business and wanted to do a little sightseeing on election day. I thought it would be good to learn more about what is at stake. I got your blog link when I googled “Istanbul Election day”. Thanks for the high level overview. What an exciting life you have chosen for yourself!
