Ladies and gentlemen, welcome! I’m Yilmaz — Turkish by birth, Canadian by frostbite.

I grew up in Türkiye, traveled to 23 countries, swam in 3 oceans, skied on 3 continents… and then thought:
"You know what’s missing? A place where my face hurts from the cold!"
Boom. Canada.

Now I spend my mornings chipping ice off my car like I'm mining for gold.
At -20°C.
While wondering if Tim Hortons should start selling space heaters with their coffee.

So, what is Turk in the North ?

It’s me — trying to survive in a country where squirrels are friendlier than most people I met in college.
It’s my life as an immigrant:
Turkish heart, Canadian snow tires.

You’ll find:

• What we eat, drink, and accidentally put maple syrup on
  
  

• How I brought Turkish culture here (yes, I packed my hookah, no, I couldn’t find best Turkish restaurant yet.)
  
  

• Daily life, strange events, cultural confusion, and the occasional “why is milk in a bag?” moment.
  
  

There will be subtitles. Maybe even voiceovers. Probably me trying to translate “kanka” into English.

This channel isn’t just about Canada — it’s about starting over, laughing at yourself, and realizing everyone is winging it… just with different accents.

So grab your çay or your Timmy’s, hit subscribe, and let’s figure this out together.

From the land of snow and politeness,
— Yılmaz / Turk in the North
