turkey is one of the most intriguing countries that i have ever visited. rich with history and culture and a vast and varied landscape, it is a feast for the senses and a traveller's dream destination. in istanbul we spent hours trawling through the grand bazaar, haggling with shopkeepers in one moment and drinking turkish tea with them in the next. i loved the decadence of the topkapi palace and the hustle bustle on the sultanahmet streets. i was blown away by ancient ruins, ephesus in particular (see photos above) so well maintained that you could imagine life at the peak of the roman empire. best history lesson i ever had.

I can't believe you get to travel all these places. You're sooo lucky. But my favorite is still Israel, I loveeee it there. If you haven't gotten there, you need to get there ;)
How is it possible for you to travel to all these cool countries? Is it your job or just a cool vacation?
Hi Ash Louise, no I haven't been there but thanks for the tip! I took 6 months off work and travelled around the U.S. and Europe - it was the trip of a lifetime :D
