As the ferry pulled away from Bodrum and the Turkish coastline slowly disappeared behind us, we knew our Greek island adventure was finally beginning. Whitewashed houses, blue shutters, fluttering Greek flags and swaying palm trees welcomed us the moment we arrived. The weather was fantastic and the relaxed pace of life instantly put us in…
Bodrum started with chaos. A violent hailstorm hit us somewhere near Muğla while we were hitchhiking, completely unprepared, soaked within minutes, laughing because the situation was honestly too absurd to take seriously. Once we decided to travel this way, giving up was never an option. We split into two teams . Ola Dobi and me…
One of Those Days I’ll Always Remember Today I decided to go to Denizli by myself. I took a ride through BlaBlaCar and met an amazing Turkish man. We spent the whole journey talking in Turkish, so the ride turned into both transportation and a language lesson at the same time. It had been such a long time since…
People say you need money to travel. They also say you need company to travel. They point out that only those who speak languages are able to communicate with ,,strangers”. You can travel only once a year, during a holiday. I hear it all the time. I hear it and I do not believe it….
Friday The overnight bus from Muğla rolled into Istanbul while the city was still stretching itself awake. Night buses have their own kind of magic, the soft hum of the engine, the quiet darkness outside, and if you’re lucky, two seats to yourself so you can actually lie down and steal a few hours of…
Hi guys, It’s been a while since I was in Turkey. I took a step back and spent one month in Poland. I visited my family and spent beautiful time there. Right now, I feel like I live in two different realities. One is my homeland, Poland, and the other one is in Muğla, Turkey….
The last few days felt like the perfect mix of hitchhiking adventure, sunshine, spontaneous plans and the kind of travel moments you could never schedule even if you tried. 7 March We decided to turn hitchhiking into a proper competition. Team one, which was me, Bartek and Doma against team Dobi and Filip. We couldn’t…
Istanbul 2026 edition First day Some mornings in Istanbul start quietly, but only for a moment. Tuesday began with a proper pour-over coffee and a freshly baked simit, still warm and sesame-covered. Fueled and excited, we stepped outside to conquer a sunlit metropolis. Certain places in Istanbul are non-negotiable. Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque…
Göreme Some mornings look unreal, like you’re still dreaming. Friday in Göreme was one of them. Breakfast with a view of snowy rock formations felt almost too perfect. We drove through a landscape of valleys toward Ihlara Valley, where we walked among colorful nature, green waterfalls, ancient rock-carved homes, and flowing mountain streams. We hired…
Konya Rainy mornings have their own rhythm. They slow you down and somehow invite quiet moments, perfect for self-care and small resets. Wednesday started exactly like that. Hair coloring, refined to perfection, followed by finishing the book. Then we hit the road toward Konya. Along the way, we stopped at roadside stalls to buy oranges,…
