Teşekkürler İstanbul 🇹🇷

“If one had but a single glance to give the world, one should gaze on İstanbul.” - Alphonse de Lamartine

‍

The pure joy and adventure of exploring a new culture is a #privilege I don’t take for granted. There is very little I love more than immersing myself somewhere new - where all my senses are heightened, and every conversation leads to learning something. 💫

‍

Overwhelmed, saturated, soaking up a new culture, perspectives and ways of looking at the 🌍. I mention privilege, because not only is #passportprivilege such a thing, but I am painfully aware of all the horrible news around the world. I am making a conscious effort to focus on the good when possible.

‍

What places have changed you? Does travel change your perspective too?👇🏽 I feel like I’ve left a piece of myself in the #Bosphorus, so I will be back.

Teşekkürler İstanbul 🇹🇷
