    You are a strong woman, and don't think any less of yourself for having Teimo by your side
    You are travelling in very different countries and cultures now, so i hope you both safe travels together
    Take care !!

    Hey Cheerio! Dein Video hat mich sehr zum nachdenken angeregt! Ich kann gut verstehen, wie schwierig so ein culture clash sein kann und wie unangenehm und unsicher sich deine Rolle als Frau in dem Moment angefühlt haben muss. Danke, dass du deine Gefühle so ehrlich mit uns teilst! ❤
    Ein wenig traurig finde ich die negativen Kommentare unter diesem Video. Scheinbar fühlen sich manche Menschen angegriffen.

    I can't describe what you do to me when I'm watching your stories. there are emotions, my hard throbbing and tears in my eyes. will it be your honesty your purity your sincerity the way you tell your story, how you edited it, the music? I don't know what it is, I can't describe it, what's going on? I love it, happy for you with what you're doing. so thank you sincerely for creating and sharing your story. hopefully you are doing well. Have a safe journey wherever you are and wherever it will take you.

      It's generally much safer ... roads - assuming you avoid traffic clogged arteries - are less dangerous and the dog problem isn't nearly as severe. Majority of people will be very concerned with your safety given how few western travellers there are.

    Nice to see you posting again. 👍
    I had a thought on remote rural culture, that might have parallels with your experience. When travelling in SW China I discovered a couple of barriers to using translation apps. Literacy levels can sometimes be low, especially for older people, and not everyone speaks Chinese (Mandarin or Cantonese) as a first language, and even among the people who do there is often local dialect.

    It feels good to still see you travel safely. And I can't wait to see you travel through Armenia. I really ride there too, beginning my travels next summer. Though I wont ride through Turkey, but take the ferry across the Black Sea.
    I wish you and Timo only the best and safest travels and thank you for sharing your experiences.

    Most of the shepherds you see in Turkey or the people you see in the countryside are foreigners. For example, the shepherds are mostly Afghans. That's why he didn't understand anything from the phone translation. This is like going to the worst part of a city and being scared because you think everywhere is like this. When I saw homeless people and drug users on the streets in America, I was horrified and experienced a culture shock. I just returned from a 16-day trip to Europe and I better understood the richness of Turkey, which you call contrast but which I love very much. If there was a place called the European continent, which I think there is not, Türkiye would be a separate continent, not the Middle East. We have darker green regions than Switzerland and Austria combined.. our region close to the desert.. our snowy glaciers.. a huge Mediterranean region and we are surrounded by seas. We have cities that are more modern or more historical than many European cities. When I watched your video, my soul darkened. We host 15 million foreigners and troubles have come to us throughout history. Everyone should have hope, not pessimism. These things cannot happen by eating all the blessings of the world and becoming alienated from other geographies. Türkiye is paying a huge price.

    Every time I see something about Cappadocia, seems so touristy compared to when I backpacked through Turkey 30 years ago. It shouldn't be surprising of course and I feel glad that I travelled there way back then however it did make some elements of travel really hard because we didn't come across many other tourists and support for independent travellers wasn't broadly available. Inter town and Inter city buses were widespread so that wasn't too bad but chokingly full of smokers. It was a great experience though. It's a big country to cross by bike though and I can certainly I imagine the challenges as a solo woman. My girlfriend at the time was harassed even if I was close by within ear shot.

    • @selcukcilek555
      @selcukcilek555 Год назад +1

      That's time travel. Some things change to the better .Others getting worse. Turkiye made a huge step in smoking free areas in the last 15 years and busses are one part of them. The infiltration by more more tourists (overtourism) is something which a lot of places experience. Like Venice wants to charge tourists to enter the town in peak hours.
      Nevertheless adapting to the surrounding and culture is one option of getting more easily accepted by locals .

    What you described your experience ‏Might get more extreme in Iran you gotta learn how to protect your self and stay in your core and filter annoyances and what are your triggers and limits and to just filter things from letting everything inז The thing about traveling I think is to just passing through and just try and stay a little more light and excepting from inside it doesn't mean you have to agree with everything but you don't need to identify ‏Everything Other people say or do
    it's really about developing a more subtle lightweight curiosity than just diving into every interaction and every person it's just passing and it's not your fault that they think of certain things or that they might make you feel A certain way.
