Only because I was once a person who wanted to plan out my summers, but ever since that summer I decided winging it was truly the best way to experience an adventure. It was a summer that any twenty years old would have dreamed of; filled with traveling, fun, parties, love, an ...

Discovering Turkey

There are many cities to see, therefore I want to explore as many as possible. I would start in Istanbul to see the old city from where Byzantine and Ottoman Empires ruled. Visit the stunning blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, and the underground Cistern. Once the three days are over in Istanbul I will be taking a bus to Gallipoli.
