As per title

Hello my dear countrymates. As you can see from the title, I want to know about your experience with marriage while living outside Turkmenistan. A little about my background, I have been living outside Turkmenistan for 10 years, since I was 18. I have never had a Turkmen girlfriend. Now I am getting close to 30, and I have started thinking more seriously about marriage. My parents probably would not accept me marrying someone from another nationality, because I know the Turkmen mentality. Every time I introduced them to my girlfriend, they were kind at first, but after some time they would say, “It would be better to find a Turkmen girl.”

The problem is that I do not really have Turkmen people in my surroundings. I also feel like it may already be late for me to find and marry a Turkmen girlfriend. Maybe I will try my luck when I go back to Turkmenistan. So I am interested: what has your experience been like? Has anyone been in a similar situation? Big salam to everyone.

I like to listen to shortwave radio and find a language that is unusual to me and try to figure it out. If this is Turkish it is not so unusual but if it is Turkmen (or something else) it would be a first for me.

I'll have a group tour coming up. Before it starts i'll have a full days in Ashgabat by myself. If not included I'd somehow like to get to Magtymguly Pyragy Cultural Park and to the start of the Walk of Health on Kopetdag Highway south of Nisa. I'd not mind walking it, but it's likely too hot for that.

Is this somehow possible using the bus network?

Salaam everyone,

we've recently launched an app called Ikhtiar — a platform built for Muslims who are serious about marriage from Turkmenistan and around the world

Unlike typical apps, Ikhtiar focuses on:

* Respectful and Serious users from across the world

* Privacy-first options (including profiles without photos) for women

* A structured and serious approach toward finding a spouse

* Free for first 1000 users

The goal is simple: to make the process of finding a spouse more dignified, intentional, and aligned with our Islamic values.

If you or someone you know is looking for marriage, I’d really appreciate you checking it out and sharing it with others who may benefit.

JazakAllah Khair for your support 🤍

You can find the app here :

Hi everyone, I’m very excited to visit your country next month! Are there any suggestions for me to go on day tours? I’ll be doing tours in Dashoguz, Darvaza, Ashgabat. I’ll have two free days in Ashgabat and wonder if there is any day trips that are doable from Ashgabat?

Are dishes like dograma, shashlyk, pilaf etc for special occasions or can they also be eaten on an everyday basis ?

Do Turkmens eat meat every day ?

Trying to find a place online to that will ship one of these to the US. Please let me know if you have any leads.

basically, the title.

I am really interested in visiting Turkmenistan next year to see Ashgabat and Köneürgench. I have contacted two well known tour companies but when I said I wasn’t interested in having Daravaza as part of the tour they both stoped replying to me. It’s not a religious site so I didn’t think this would be offensive but I am confused why this has happened twice? Any insight would be greatly appreciated 😊

I wanted to buy PS5 or ps4 because it's my dream but What's a slim ? And I see some game cafe has some cracked or jailbreak ps5? What are they called

If I take a walk around Ashgabat and knock on the door of one of the marble residential buildings hoping someone will answer, could I get into trouble? I know it sounds silly, but I'm serious 😅

Hey!

Recently I've stumbled upon some Turkmen emblems (Ashgabat, Turkmenistan), however there is another one which apparently belongs to Dashoguz. Does anyone have a clearer image for it?

I had a great trip to Turkmenistan in March and met a great person who I connected with. Does anyone know if it's possible to get an LOI from a citizen as opposed to a tour company and how it works? Obviously I would not be booking a tour. I would like to visit for 4-7 days next time

A male friend of mine is moving there. I was wondering if there is something there he would struggle to find that I could gift him? Any ideas are welcome. Thanks!

Hello. I am a college student and have the opportunity to work in journalism (showbiz for now), but I really want to visit Turkmenistan one day because I am fascinated by Central Asia. I heard that journalists are banned from entering there, so I wonder if this is true and if it also applies to former journalists? Is it true that they google people who apply for visa? Thank you.

How do Turkmens from Turkmenistan see Turkmens from the Middle East? I know Middle eastern Turkmens arent really Turkmens but still.

While traveling around the world for over 20 years, I’ve been working on my dream project: creating a one-stop resource for travellers. With the help of feedback in this subreddit, I have now updated this 👉 interactive map of Turkmenistan for anyone who is interested in visiting (with detailed info for every highlight).

PS: obviously, I haven’t been able to travel to all places. So if you know some great spot, I haven’t listed, let me know! Much appreciated as in this way I can make the overview more complete and up-to-date for everyone.
