Istanbul is a unique city that straddles two continents, Europe and Asia, offering an enticing blend of Western and Asian cultures. On the European side, the neighborhoods of Beyoğlu and Karaköy showcase Istanbul's Western influence, with hip cafés, contemporary art galleries, and modern shopping districts. Here, the architecture is heavily influenced by the Ottoman's European encounters, displaying Byzantine and Baroque styles. Istanbul Modern, the city's main contemporary art gallery, hosts a range of Western art and is a testament to the city's thriving European cultural scene. The Asian side of Istanbul, often referred to as Anatolia, is where one can experience the city's Asian influences. Districts like Kadıköy and Üsküdar offer bustling markets and traditional Turkish tea houses. The architecture here reflects more of the traditional Ottoman and Seljuk styles. This side of the city is a place where traditional Turkish customs and culture are more profoundly practiced, including crafts, music, and cuisine. Despite their distinctive cultural flavors, both sides maintain a beautiful cohesion of Istanbul's East-meets-West identity. From the Western-style nightclubs of Beyoğlu to the traditional Turkish hammams in Üsküdar, Istanbul offers an amalgamation of cultures like no other city on Earth.

About me: An intrepid explorer at heart, I have a profound passion for immersing myself in the infinite diversities that our world has to offer. My wanderlust leads me down less trodden paths, from the towering heights of rugged mountains to the awe-inspiring depths of the blue sky. As a fervent hiker and skydiver, I relish the adrenaline surge that comes with every adventurous pursuit, always striving to conquer new heights and depths. Alongside these, my love for arts feeds my soul, allowing me to appreciate the beauty that lies in diversity, the strokes of creativity painting a vibrant picture of cultures worldwide. Through vlogs, I document these ventures, bridging the gap between my experiences and those of others, fostering a global community of curiosity and understanding. Meeting new people, understanding their stories, and embracing our shared humanity is at the core of my travels - as I aim to not merely explore the world, but truly experience it.

Accommodation: We will stay at a hotel for 4 nights - a Standard 2 or 3 Bedroom Ensuite. (For private room, you need to pay extra for the hotel). Savor your final breakfast in the city. Depending on your flight time, you might steal a few leisurely hours visiting the fashionable boutiques of Nişantaşı. On the last day, after we check out, there will be gifts for everyone to make a memorable trip.
