And for this next year, this is where I will call home... Istanbul, Turkey
I am extremely excited to venture out my comfortable and familiar country to a country that I had vaguely only heard about. Never in my wildest dreams had I considered Turkey as a possible place to explore. But sometimes opportunities present themselves and new adventures take place. While I am embarking on this adventure alone, I hope to have many followers that will help me get the most out of this experience!
