    I was in Istanbul on April 2, 2026😊 for 20; hours layover by choice. Turkish airlines offer free city tour for long layover passengers. With traffic jam , we only get to walk to the Bazar tour for 45 minutes. I bought tea, coffee, saffron 😊 I'm always stopping at the Bazar whenever I get a long layover!  That was my 4th visit to Istanbul 😊

    Few places seem to hold contrast as naturally as Istanbul - history, chaos, calm, Europe, Asia, all at once.

    I’m really happy to see that you enjoyed my hometown, Istanbul, recently. I wish I could have met you while you were here. I also wanted to share something personal. When I was in my early twenties, it was around the time you started releasing your videos. You inspired me to travel across Europe, and I ended up visiting 80 countries over a few years. I just wanted to say that you’re doing an amazing job and truly inspiring people.

    Turkish cuisine is very rich and delicious. Every province in Turkey has its own unique dishes and desserts.
