Lisa Morrow is a sociologist, travel writer and author of five books: a travel guide Istanbul 50 Unsung Places, her memoir Istanbul Dreams and three essay collections, Inside Out In Istanbul, Exploring Turkish Landscapes and Longing for Istanbul. She's determined to scratch away the everyday surface of ordinary Turkish life to reveal the extraordinary complexities below. To that end she's taught herself Turkish (well, almost), has travelled to all points of the Turkish compass and talks to absolutely everyone from taxi drivers, cleaners, security guards, soldiers and basically anyone she comes across who looks like they have something to say. She shares this and more about her life in Turkey, including how she feels about kelle paça (traditional sheep’s head soup) on her website Inside Out in Istanbul. It began as a personal blog in 2013 and has evolved into a window on what's it's like to live in Istanbul plus provides lots of handy tips, tricks and hacks to help you visit destinations around the country.
