She added that she would never advise anyone to come to Turkey in the quest to seek greener pastures as she did.

“For me, I will not advise anyone to come here. Sometimes when I say this some people think maybe I am trying to block their chances, but that is not it. I advise such people to save a lot of money and go to UK or other places but not here”,

Olivia says she would like to come back home but has a few things she wants to sort out first.

She also said that she has experienced earthquakes on four occasions since she moved there, but Monday’s February 6 earthquake was on a different level.
