Hi,

my name is Max Forlani.

I'm a thirty-something English teacher, currently with the Istek Foundation in Istanbul. I'm not a Turk though. I moved to Istanbul in 2005, after being bewildered by its beauty during a city-trip. Someone once told me:

"Istanbul is like a drug: when you have it, sometimes you consider to get rid of it. But when you don’t have it, you desperately want it back!"In my spare time, I do as much sport as possible (swimming, running, fitness, tennis) and tend to read and visit as much as possible. Since I'm also the main author of Istanbul Trails, I tend to spend a lot of time behind a pc as well.

I decided to sign up for Wikipedia to help keeping it up-to-date, since I think it is still one of the best free resources around.
