Boarding my flight for my trip to Istanbul, Turkey. I am a little bit scared and don't know what to expect. Everyone has been warning me to be careful as a solo woman. I packed maxi dresses but my arms will still be showing. I guess I'll have to see how conservative it is when I get there.Les mer

It's day 1 in Istanbul and I am enjoying the city. I have realised that everything people said was not true. You do not have to cover up head to toe. Even some Turkish girls show their arms and legs. Just be respectful around religious buildings and put a scarf over your shoulders and arms. The food is great and the souvenirs are actually cheaper away from any bazaar. The people are very friendly and I have had long conversations with lots of locals. I am looking forward to tomorrow 👍🏾.Les mer

I didnt have the greatest sleep last night. But the hotel breakfast buffet seemed to solve this problem because it was amazing. I had olives, borek, fresh eggs, and Turkish tea. I started my day at Topkapi Palace which is massive! You need at least 2 hours to see the whole thing. It was definitely worth the visit for me. Then I went to the grand bazaar which was awful. It really is a tourist trap and over priced. I didnt buy anything and discovered that there are markets outside the grand bazaar where all the Turkish people go. These markets are so much cheaper. So I bought some stuff from there and headed back to the hotel. Time seems to be going very fast in Turkey. I only did 2 activities but it took the whole day. For dinner I had some sort of Turkish beef stew. The restaurant gave me free baklava afterwards which was nice.Les mer

Today was a very long day. I left the hotel at 9.30am and got back at 8pm. I started the day with a trip to the blue mosque. It was full of groups of Chinese tourists even at 10am. There is only a very small section open to tourists so I was a little bit sad that I couldnt see much of the mosque. After this I scouted for people to take photos of me 😂. Seemed to work out well because I got photos off 4 different people in 4 different close locations.

After this I took a steep hilly walk to the spice bazaar. There wasnt much for me to see and I didnt buy anything. So I continued to Eminou pier where I ordered a fish sandwich. The fish is fresh and you can see local men fishing around the pier. After this it was time to hop on a boat to the Asian side of Turkey (kadikoy). I didnt spend longer than an hour in kadikoy because it was so crowded. But I did some shopping and noticed its literally so much cheaper on the Asian side. A pair of trousers that costs 25 lira on the European side costs 15 lira on the Asian side.Les mer
