  • I can't believe I'm finally getting to visit Istanbul, Turkey....let the bucketlist challenge continue! For years, I've had a dream of circling the whole Mediterranean; not just the European coasts but also exploring the Middle East and North Africa. My sister, Sage, and I got to planning and together we are embarking on this adventure together. When we were looking at the travel space, it seemed that female creators still appear to be far outnumbered and local female stories are had to come by. With this in mind, we want to explore each location through the lens and experience of the local gals who live there to gain a better understanding of the culture, politics, and history of each region.

    It felt wonderful to have your father back in Istanbul after so many years...The father's speech, especially at the end of the video, shows what a visionary and quality person he is.

    Hey Elena! Glad you and your family enjoyed your trip in Istanbul! And thank you for the beautiful depiction of the city. Fun story: I was actually coming to the meetup and I was in Taksim but I unfortunately missed it because I confused the location as the Taksim square is huge lol. We even dm'd, but I mixed up the meetup place, and thought the meetup wasn't happening or something when I didn't see you, and ended up in a near art exhibition instead. I was so sad that I couldn't make it but it's wonderful to see that you met local people and chatted with them, wish I was there too but maybe in the future!

For a couple of people from "nowhere", Virginia, it was fun to see her awe and wonder at everything Istanbul had to offer: the history, culture, people, sights and sounds, and of course crossing the Bosphorus!!!!!!!!!!!
    You have a fantastic channel! May God bless your future travels! 😁

    Istanbul is endlessly fascinating, however, like NYC is to the US, London is to the UK, Istanbul is to Turkey, those cities are not good representations of the country's they exist in. Absolutely enjoy each and every destination, they are all must see's however, make sure to keep things in perspective, go deeper and go further to explore a country, it's people and it's culture.

    • @curiousteletabi2696
      @curiousteletabi2696 Год назад

      Not, it’s not - Turkey isn’t what Paris or London are for their respective countries - it’s just a too-crowded Metropol with too many migrants from everywhere: Essentially like Barcelona which its local culture is erased while the city itself has way too many crowded by tourists and “expats”, just with fewer refugees.
