From South Africa to Türkyie and beyond

Soon after we arrived at the camping we met Ian and Debbie, who are also traveling by motorbike. Their round the world adventure started in March, in South Africa. Since then, they made their way north through Africa, then Iran and now Türkyie. They travel in segments, which we too believe to be the most sustainable for of longterm travel.They got stranded here, waiting for some replacement parts, for the motorbike.

We spent a lovely evening and shared stories late into the night. Connecting with other travellers, hearing their stories and sharing kindness is one of the best things touring brings to you.

Since they were to stay here for at least 2 weeks, they even began helping Mustafa with gardening and landscaping. The morning we left everyone was hard at work, preparing the ground near the pool for sprinkles and a new lawn.

We made notes of each other’s recommendations, shared contacts and hugged goodbye. We’ll see each other again when they reach Romania, next year.Read more
