Monuments, Memories and Many Miles!
This post is originally from June 21, 2014 The last five days have been a whirlwind of travel and sightseeing. After leaving Selcuk we headed north to the layered cities of Troy.

Pamukkale & Selcuk
This post is originally from June 17, 2014 Every day is seriously a new adventure. Life at home can pretty much be the same from day to day, but traveling is just so unique and eye opening. There is just so much out there that the world has to offer and it’s a shame we can’t see it…

This post is originally from June 15, 2014 On our way to another cute town of Dalyan we stopped off for lunch. Throughout the trip getting freshly squeezed orange juice has been quite a treat.

Yesterday we walked around a fair bunch capturing many of Istanbul’s amazing mosques and bazaars. It is simply amazing how these massive structures were built so long ago without the modern tools that we use today. They…

Is it Thanksgiving? Because I sure do smell Turkey!
This post is originally from June 6, 2014 I am here safe and sound… It’s always a little daunting when I first arrive in a big city. What will I discover? Where will I go? How will I get there? Istanbul is no exception. It’s estimated that nearly 20 million live in just the city…

Ready Set Go
This post is originally from June 3, 2014 Hey there everyone, Just thought I would send a quickie off to let you know that I am about to embark on another adventure. First I will be flying out east through Toronto, and then the 10 hour journey across the pond to Istanbul. Not sure how this…
