Volubilis, everlasting proof of Roman Settlement in Fes

We had plenty of time in Fes, like five days and four nights…

Okay, I admit, it’s not even a week, but in my defends five days could be a full life span for some kind of insects out there. Although our stay was relatively short in Fes, we managed to not only enjoy the Fes Medina (and got lost in i...

When we were planning the trip to Cappadocia, we thought we wouldn't go on any hot air balloon for two reasons: that ride costs a fortune (about 200$ per person for about an hour of ride) and I am afraid of heights. Oh wait, let me rephrase that, I am not necessarily afraid of heights, I am simply a...

Before planning our trip to Turkey, we had no idea what the blue cruise was (or even heard about it), but after I read about it, hopping on a blue cruise adventure became one of my most pivotal purpose in life (excuse the exaggeration).

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...

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...

The Sultan Ahmet mosque sits juxtaposed with Hagia Sophia, it is definitely one of ...
