INTRODUCTION

From forgotten bazaars to iconic landmarks, embark on a sentimental journey of Rana Zahid’s Turkey Adventure and rediscover the magic of Turkey in the breaking episode of Gain With Tahseen.

WHY CALLED TURKEYWALA?

Yeah, you can call me Turkey Wala because travel to Turkey was my dream, which I achieved by my own will & so it’s an honor to be a Turkey Wala.

THE EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND

I only passed five classes, but I can frequently speak English and Turkey because, in today’s era, it is very necessary for a person to be bilingual.

WHY GO TO TURKEY?

In 2015, when Turkish dramas were winning our people’s hearts, I was the one who dreamed of being there, so after five years, I achieved it.

THE JOURNEY STARTS IN TURKEY BY WALK

I went to Lahore, then Iran; after reaching Iran, I walked straight for 15 hours to enter Turkey via a mountain in Iran named ‘Mako’, but it was quite painful.

REACHING TO INSTANBUL

After reaching Istanbul, I had no idea where I should go, where I could stay and all, and seriously, that period was quite painful for me.

AFTER REACHING IN TURKEY

After reaching Turkey, the so-called agents contacted me and demanded a high amount for the accommodations and legal processes.

HOW DID YOU SURVIVE IN TURKEY?

I survived in a room where 40 people were already there; I learned Turkish & worked as a delivery boy; after that, they asked me to narrate things.

THE FUNNY INCIDENT IN TURKEY

Yeah, once I went to the market, I asked them for mango, which is called “aam” in Turkey, which is also a slang word, so the fruit seller scolded me not to use this word.
