Hello

Tips & Tales is a personal collection of travels, eats and finds. A perpetual love of adventure, curiosity and passion for unique discoveries inspire new tales, both near and far. As a daughter of a Turkish diplomat, travel, new languages and different cultures played an active role in my upbringing. I lived in Ankara, Oslo, Belgrade, Brussels, Berlin, London and currently call New York home. Food was always a focal point in my family and most memories are around meals or in the kitchen. Finding that authentic lunch spot, local independent store or the unchartered neighborhood to stroll through is an everyday quest, whether while traveling or in the city I live in. Encouraged by enthusiastic requests from friends, co-workers and clients for my lists of travels, eats and finds, Tips & Tales is born.
