About Me

Hey there! I'm Ipek, the explorer and storyteller behind GoingPlacesWithMe.com.

 

Turkish born, living in Berlin, and often moving between places. I’ve learned to pay attention to life in the in-between, where language, memory, and questions of belonging take shape.

 

I write about the things that stay with us: the stories we carry, the shifts we feel, and the cultures we move through.

 

My work is shaped by personal experience, cultural memory, and the influence of books, films, and everyday moments that don’t always get named, but matter.

 

Cheers,

Ipek.
