Going to Turkey two years ago was one of the best trips I’ve ever taken. I had always been interested in Turkish society and going there was even better than I thought it would be. I visited there with my family. Our journey started from Ankara, the capital of Turkey. That’s right, I enjoyed my time there, but I was eager to see Istanbul because it is the most famous city, many popular Turkish TV series were filmed there and the main reason was that I heard about my favorite actor, Nerkram Zendemir, would be in Istanbul for a week to shoot a series. It truly seemed amazing and I ran this excitement carrying my legs in my hands. I did my best but I couldn’t see him, however, I didn’t feel sorry because some of my big dreams have come true. That means I got on the white ship, shoven in Turkish TV series and took a photo with an umbrella on a rainy day by the sea. This trip to Turkey changed the way that I think about life and travel in a big way. Travel is not just a simple rest but it likes a magical mirror that shows life. Travel grows me and prevents me from staying in one place with the same routine. Travel teaches us to be grateful for today and patience for tomorrow and most importantly reminds us that the world is enormous and we are just tiny specks in it. If I talk about planning trip, nothing about the culture, traditions and basic language of the place help you highly for a enjoyable trip. Also it is important to make a schedule that includes plasma sea sites and free time for exploring and relaxing.
