My “Istanbul Endless Nights” blog started as a soul-searching journey to overcome the personal and professional obstacles the years 2020 and 2021 had brought me. I survived it, made the best out of the situation, and had excitement and fun along the way. I am back home now, in the US, and I want to reflect upon it. So, as the last part of this blog, I’d like to gather and share my thoughts, which was ultimately an immense growth opportunity.
