Hey friends and welcome to Istanbul Türkiye 🌞 This place holds a special place for me now and I'm so glad faith brought me here. I have learned so much and although I have this deep sense of discovery inside me, I feel as if this brought a new light and new sense of wonderment to the world. I wish to see most, if not all places on this planet and this place made me so excited to see the difference in how people live.
Thank you for being here 💛🌈✨🌸

Istanbul is one of my favorite places. It is one place that I visited and didn't want to leave.
I'm from Turkey and I've been watching your videos for a long time this video made me happy ❤
my favorite city in the whole world. loved watching you enjoying your time and getting mesmerised by the beauty of Istanbul!! lots of love
Heres something you may find interesting. :)
The name of my country has nothing to do with the interesting and delicious bird ''turkey'', well let me explain. :)
Name of my country has always been Turkiye, that is Turk-iye, where the -iye suffix means ''land of/belonging to''...
...just like the Latin suffix -ia in such countries as Latv-ia, Roman-ia, Eston-ia, Austr-ia, Austral-ia etc etc. Another example; decades ago Czechoslovakia Republic changed it's name to Czech Republic and a few years ago changed that to Czechia (that is Czech-ia).
Anyways, most likely the Latin -ia suffix was derived from the Turkish version -iye,
as Turkish is much much older.
Because in old times people of different languages could only pronounce it as their languages allowed them, we got various differences in spelling like Turchia (in Italian), Turquie (in French) and Turkey (in English) all trying to resemble the pronounciation of ''Turk-ia'' thus Turkiye.
Mind you this was way BEFORE the animal we currently know as 'turkey'' was found by the europeans when they explored the north americas....
...they came across the bird and thought it was a specie of the fowl/chicken they had been buying from the country of Turkiye at the time, so they named the bird ''Turkey Fowl'' meaning ''Turkish Chicken''.....
....just like how a dog breed is known as German Shepherd (because it's from Germany), Rhodesian Ridgeback (because it's from Rhodesia), American Bulldog, British Terrier, Greek Harehound etc etc.
In time you don't get to call the Greek Harehound as simply as ''Greek''; or you don't call the British Terrier as ''British''; or the German Shepherd as ''German'', but in time the Turkish Fowl started to be called just ''turkey'', and has been going on for hundreds of years.
Now in 2023, this is causing confusion, especially when we have people across the world unable to point to their OWN country on the atlas, this ''confusion over the naming'' needed to be corrected.
So my country decided to rectify this confusion that has been going on for so long and corrected the name in other languages to Türkiye, which it always was, we basically didn't change the name of our country, we changed the mistake made in the English language. : )
So, there's some tid bit information for you to have a great day, if you read upto this point you have a great night too, ohh just have a wonderfull life. : )
Best wishes. ;)
This video makes me so excited to go to Turkey!!! 🥺

I woke feeling very anxious and out of sorts this morning. I made myself a hot cup of homemade chai tea, did some breath work and then sat down to watch this video. It really helped to lighten my mood and brought me so much peace. Thank you, Julia, for always being your most authentic self and for sharing your thoughts in such beautiful ways. I am grateful for you and the time you take to create these videos so that they may bring goodness into the lives of others. Wishing you many blessings ❤✨

You're an old soul and old souls have a hard time living in the "new world". 💜 I've said all my life we have to love and respect each other even when we don't agree with each other.
I got mad love for you. You're like a little sister to me.
The food looked amazing!!
I love all you said in the last few minutes of the vlog. Very transformative thinking!
You are just an amazing human being Julia! I love watching your videos so much, and your words touch me everytime because I feel like I can relate to them and they help me understand that I'm not alone with these emotions and this view I have on the world, on the people. Thank you for that!
I'm so grateful to be able to share for this reason! I want others to know, they are never alone in the feelings we all experience 💛

Just sayin

Gee your hair is so long!! Love watching all your travel videos ❤
It is very cliché to put orientalist and Arabic things as background music. Because we don't listen to such music.
I actually do listen to this type of music:)
@@juliaayers111
Siz dinleyebilirsiniz...!!
Söz konusu Türk milleti biz dinlemiyoruz..!!
Bizim müziģimiz sizi ilgilendirmiyorsa ...!
Sizin müzik anlayışınız'da bizi ilgilendirmiyor..
Lütfen biraz saygı.
Teşekkúrler🇹🇷
Where are the arabic musics??
Why does everyone think that everything on the internet has something to do with them specifically? Maybe she associates this music with Turkish culture, it’s her vlog for gods sake, she can put there whatever gives her the vibes. You can make your ‘authentic’ Turkish vlog and put Snoop Dog on the background if you like 😂 or Tarkan for that matter. It’s all good, İstediğini yaparsın, ya know
Aynen kanka insanları biran önce aydınlattığın iyi olmuş.. Allah korusun bizi ortadoğulu falan zannederler.. Halbuki avrupanın en göbeğinde yaşayan enn arap olmayan ülke biziz 🤦🏻♀️ ne eziksiniz ya valla midem bulanıyor artık..🤢
This is my very most famous vile of yours. I am biased, because I also find Turkey magical and with themes flavorful food, but the music in the intro and the talk about western privilege and overcoming victim state, it's all so wholesome and hearttouching.
Want to see more of Turkiye? :)
Take a virtual tour and enjoy.
Best wishes. ;)
hope you loved it in here, next time you come back let me know ill be your tour guide myself.
Soooo beautiful
So beautiful
Great istanbul
If you really love immersing yourself in culture, I would look into anthropology, sociology and geography. You are incredibly intelligent and I think you would really enjoy the ideas discussed in those fields.
I would love for you to talk about in a future video how you’ve gotten around so well without speaking the language!
Honestly its something you just get used to! Most people speak a little bit of english, then you also learn to communicate with more body language and basics. Then if all of that fails I have google translate downloaded onto my phone. But there is a beauty in trying to communicate without the help of the internet! 😊
Hi queen, whats the name of the restaurant on the island?
Beautiful ................
Istanbul best in the world
👍👍👍
why did you want to know the cost of the fish?
There were some letters gone berserk sorry about that…. I have BIG fingers😄
11:37 that has been going on for, umm since the bridge was built
Turkey nice
you are a silly goober gal!
Come ro Armenia next, it's near and I promise You will love the trip to one of the most ancient countries in the world. Just come to Armenia 🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲
13:45 they are ''professional beggers''
you shouldn't have given the kids anything, the parents use them like that
even have them pretend to eat out of the garbage, by having them sit next to a bin with supposedly thrown away food in front of them. It^s all an act to have you give them a handout.
The social welfare in Turkiye is quite developed, no one is without free healtcare, not even a homeless person (if they prefer to live on the streets as the government provides free accomodation and employment for anyone who is in need), there is also payments made for each child, and no children are allowed to live on the streets.
What you have encountered are ''occupational beggers', whom are 99 percent of the time members of the global social community known as the gypsies. Many of the children who beg on the streets as I explained are used as a plot to intice the emotions of the people who hand them out money and many of the families who use them are found out to have more than a few houses and cars and considerable bank accounts.
Tourists are the target.
Trust me, I know. It’s just extremely hard to walk past a 5 year old boy begging on the street at night.
@@juliaayers111 That's why their parents own multitute of propertys and cars. :/
Them children aren't poor. Handing them out anything makes them do that.
It's a matter of parental abuse, fuelled by tourist behaviour.
07:40: I thought it was a hair dryer.
Hahahahha that is so funny! Just talking into a hairdryer😂 it’s the new “ hairbrush microphone moment” 😂
absolutely 😁😁@@juliaayers111
Julia love you videos. Please, just a recommendation…read the koran…why? When you are feeling unhappy for no reason, it will show up new ways of thinking, you never thought before. Just try
Julia, Is your sweet friend Mikey from the States. If so can I asked where he’s from. ☺️💕
Typo I meant where.
I would say she is crushing (really likes) him hahah. She’s been putting on makeup lately 😉
@@sarahlauren2989 I think there just friends. She just got out of a relationship. 💗
@@sarahlauren2989pretty sure he’s 💅🏻
@@umyeahok2097 Are you trying to say he G.A.Y?
You should stop filming people without their consent.
Right of passage for someone filming in public. Where it’s completely legal…
@@user-vn6xo2tc9r Lmfao just because it's legal doesn't mean it's right. Some people don't want to be on videos and in photos of people they don't know. And you should know better internet is a shitty place where being in someone's video you could end up being harassed, bullied or made fun of. So get over yourself and stop being selfish.
I smell POORISM, its like there is no homeless people in the us or canada or like its not always the case that upper classes has western ideas in all countries. I live in germany as a turkish student for three years now. Besides the economical downfall in turkey i dont see much of a difference. Turkey is hosting refugees for many many years, the reguees that greece shot, other european countries chase away, even though european countries send financial helps to turkey to hold the refugees and hold the borders, these helps mostly dont find their places. Economy falls down and down. And the western people visit the country, spent their day with small amount of dollars, try to look humanistic as much as they can and never stop pitying the country and the people. Also yes you may listen oriental music but its not a part of the culture. If you think its still accurate cause you listen to it, put it to the background of your london video. If you are visiting a country instead of pitying people without the background knowledge, educate yourself first. I am sick of people looking down at this country for so long.Many thanks for reading
You will understand, take a ride with me ;)
