In some places, we chose the city based on the person. For others, we chose it based on the city itself. For instance, when it comes to writing on Paris, there are hundreds of people I can seek the inspiration of. Every one of them has left a permanent mark on the city, but I chose the photographer, Robery Doisneau \u2013 well actually, I didn\u2019t choose him, I guess Paris did. The city of love made it into the book through the lens of this great photographer. When writing on Berlin, I sought human memories from the time of the fall of the Berlin Wall, so for that reason I picked Marlene Dietrich as a guide. For Los Angeles, where I lived for many years, I wanted to be inspired not from the perspective of a Hollywood star, but the city\u2019s most famous writer. Of course, all these decisions were rather personal. Other people would narrate the stories of these cities from others\u2019 perspectives and would come up with some interesting results. As my journey continues, I will keep on writing, narrating, and sharing.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img wpfc-lazyload-disable=\"true\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.remgo.com\/11\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Remzi-G\u00f6kda\u011f_page-0001a.jpg\" alt=\"Glober Dergisi Ba\u015fka \u015eehirler Remzi G\u00f6kda\u011f\" class=\"wp-image-58830\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Geriye d\u00f6n\u00fcp bakt\u0131\u011f\u0131mda, ne kadar uzakla\u015ft\u0131\u011f\u0131m\u0131 ve tuhaf bir \u015fekilde ne kadar ayn\u0131 kald\u0131\u011f\u0131m\u0131 g\u00f6r\u00fcr\u00fcm.

The journey started when I was young and would explore beyond the limits of the neighbourhood, and it has continued my whole life \u2013 in time taking me across the world.
