Istanbul, Turkey, Europe I really enjoyed my last day in Istanbul. It was pretty relaxing, but nice. I got up and had breakfast with George again at the hostel and then packed up my things. The guy from yesterday was sleeping late again, but today I was having none of it and just turned the light on when I started to get packed up. It was 10am after all, so I don’t think I was being too douche by turning…
Istanbul, Turkey, Europe Today was a nice chill day in Istanbul. I got up this morning at about 8am and had breakfast in the hostel. It was just a simple breakfast. Cereal, hard boiled eggs, bread, Nutella, and cucumbers. I sat with George, the American guy in my dorm, and chatted for a while. He’s in his 50’s and has been travelling around the world for almost two years. It was cool to hear about the places he’s been and…

I checked out of my hotel at 11am and got my shuttle to the airport in Kayseri. The plane took off on time and I was in Istanbul by 3:30pm. Unfortunately, my last hostel was full, so I had to find another one. There was one right across the street so I’m staying here for the next two…

It was cold and rainy when I was here and never really found any other tourists around to talk to. It was a pretty quiet five days and I wasn’t exactly itching to come back. Now I wish I had more time to spend here. I started out…
Istanbul, Turkey, Europe Today was pretty much a complete travel day. I left the hostel in Amman at 7:15am in my taxi. I was happy to see the driver was at the hostel and ready to go at 7am, so I didn’t have to wait around for him. It was about 35 minutes to get to the airport, which was a lot quicker than I had expected, so I was really early. It’s probably a good thing though because there…
