I am a sucker for natural waterbodies. Rivers, lakes, even ponds, you name it, I love it, and I must have at least dipped my feet in 98% of waterbodies I see IRL, especially if its clear running waterbodies. So when I read about Pamukkale, the famous mineral water travertines in Turkey, I ...

Selçuk is the first city we visit after Istanbul. It took us 11 hours by night bus to get to this place. The night buses in Turkey are mostly very spacious (it has more leg space than any coach class flight I have ever had!) and it is often has wifi available. It's a fancy ride for a cheap price, an...

What comes accross of your mind when you heard the word ‘Artemis’? a graceful Goddes? Ancient greek?
To be honest, what comes to my mind for that word is the white cat from Sailormoon. This is what happens if you grew up reading mangas instead of ancient histories...

Being from Jakarta, the capitol of Indonesia(and street food district), I grew up eating street food as part of my daily diet. When I moved to Québec City where street food is inexistant, I didn't know how to feed myself for the first few months after my arrival, seriously.

Bosphorus strait was one of the most recomended places to visit when you are in Istanbul. This is where two continents meet; Europe and Asia. The strait connects the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara, and ultimately the Mediterranean. Its strategical importance has been known throughout history and ma...

One question that came to mind as soon as I stepped in to the Hagia Sophia mosque : HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THIS SPECTACULAR BUILDING BUILT WHEN ELECTRICITY WASNT EVEN INVENTED ?
I had to round up my pashmina tight around my head and neck, not necessarily to follow the dresscode but to prevent m...

Actually, we found this Basilica cistern by accident. We saw this long-line of people standing, and as former ducks in our previous lives, we followed the crowd and found ourselves lining for we-didn’t know-what. I mean there is always interesting reason behind a long line of people, right?? Apparen...

In my continuous effort to keep it real, let me reveal to you another failed theory that I had (and developed) in my younger years; history was boring but I wanted to be Indiana Jones or Lara Croft because for some (better un-explained) reasons, I thought tomb raiding and rummaging in ancient ruins ...

This is our first visit to Turkey and we spent 19 days in total, yep it was far from enough. The effect of this trip can be round up in one question: Why aren’t we living here?
We did a lot of readings before we figure out our trip route. Luckily Turkey is a well-known destination, there are plethor...
