Have never been to Istanbul so i do not have the idea of how they trade
Trading is same everywhere. In public place they meet, seller send BTC from mobile app, buyer gives fiat money.

alternative way is you have to find people who want to buy bitcoin in your place now, you can ask via facebook, twitter or other social media, or you can search for a bitcoin exchanger so that you can redeem bitcoin that you have and transfer the results to account you, and you just pull the result at an ATM (automatic teller machine) ... it's so easy ... 
Hopefully someone in Istanbul who is interested in purchasing Bitcoin see your post and contact you for buying bitcoin.
Traveling the world with Bitcoin is an awesome idea for a blog series, especially if you can incorporate at least a basic level of decent photography to help add to the impact. Good luck!
There are quite a few people doing that. I picked up this blog on another part of the forum just yesterday and I found it fascinating to hear how he got on. In fact it was what drew me into this thread! http://www.thecoinsman.com/2014/08/bitcoin/my-bitcoin-trip-to-europe/

OP hasn't been online for the past 2 days.
I hope he has been continuing his journey without any trouble and is too busy sightseeing and shopping.

Get onto coinmap and check who accepts btc in Istanbul
My guess is there is a thriving btc community out there

Localbiitcoins is most likely. You might check blockchain and see if there are places around you that take it aswell then you don't have to see all of it just some.
+1 for localbitcoins. Just go there to find a buyer in Istanbul willing to pay cash, and have fun with your new bitcoin friend.
BTW, travelling around the world with just bitcoin is a brilliant idea.
EDIT: fixed a typo.

It's Not a brilliant Idea if no where accepts Bitcoin yet. I would wait until more places accept Bitcoin and then travel. You could end up in a big hole if you are not able to sell any of your Bitcoins to buy food.
There are some people in the market place here on the forum buying bitcoin for Western Union and Moneygram. If you can find an outlet where you are you can sell the bitcoin and receive money through WU or MG but you have to pay for the fees. And I would suggest you to always use escrow to be on the safer side. Good luck.
Well, Localbitcoins with a local person in person in real life, its the best.
