I'm also learning what it's like to live out of a couple backpacks! I am my own pack mule these days. Now Istanbul eh? You always keep us guessing! Well, let me know if you need some extra company there before Steemfest... I just might be able to swing a visit. :)
I'm up in the air myself. My lawyer now says that I may be able to come directly to Greece soon even if the paperwork is still being processed. I hope to know within a few days.
Hey, I've been reading this long story about the paperwork that I feel like its my close friend's issue lol That would be great if they let you come directly to Greece even if the paperwork will be still in the process. So you will escape the challenge to visit Istanbul - today it is no the safest place to go. Take care and thanks for sharing your story.
