James Arman

Meet James Arman, the Englishman with a twist! After living in New Zealand with his wife, he’s swapped the southern hemisphere for Istanbul’s vibrant streets, calling the city home for the next two years. Since August 2024, James has been adding his sharp wit and writing chops to The Other Tour’s blog, while impressing guests with his keen sense of fashion and occasional dance moves (yes, even as a vegan!). With a degree in civil engineering and a passion for exploring new cultures, James is the perfect blend of intellect, humor, and rhythm—making him a true Renaissance man on our team!
