    HELLO THERE:
    We are Joe and Liisu, relatively new to UA-cam but really excited to be a part of this community. We live small and sustainably in my home on wheels (a lovely van called Freyja) and from time to time out of our backpacks (we have not named the backpacks yet). On this channel, we ask you to join us on our travel adventures off the beaten track where we show you the beauty of untouched nature and wander into places most tourists don't dare to go.

    I've been travelling Turkiye in my van for the last month or so. Turkish people are amazing! So welcoming and proud to show their country. Even in the tourist hotspots where you'd think they'd be sick of us by now. I love it here.

      @@user-lv4ov5rp6d hmmm hard to say. I mean im sure you'd have a great time anywhere to be honest. Some places like bodrum and Marmaris have fairly... lively... nightlife but you can avoid it of you stay just a little outside of the main tourist drag. Im not sure though, I don't have kids so I don't really know what makes a good place

    What people seem to not understand is that only the coastal regions of Türkiye are relatively warm. Inner Anatolia is a plateau, which means it is flat but really high from the sea level. That's why it gets a lot of snow during the winter season. So don't get confused when you get cold in Türkiye folks!

  • @bymyhandsworked

    What an epic trip! I'm glad you got there safely and got the van repaired--there were definitely some nervous moments! You've been having some epic adventures on this solo trip. I do think the issue of "rip off" is kind of a difficult one to broach. Some things just are unexpectedly expensive (like a brand unique auto part)--other things might be a factor of convenience (for instance, if a cruise passenger wants a custom trinket far from where it's manufactured then there's going to be an escalation in cost to compensate for convenience). I think the line gets crossed when there's selling without integrity--misrepresentation of what's being sold, use of coercive tactics, and so on. Those sellers flock, as you said--to the gullible, who are often tourists. But while that is usually not a representation of what is customary in a culture--I do why unethical practices targeted at tourists are tolerated by those who are authorized to control them (and I don't mean this specifically in Turkey, but throughout the world). Oh well, another great adventure, though I hope the next one is less trying on you!

We locals wouldn’t go anywhere during a storm. Please be careful next time. Even if you can’t explore the city, you can still visit museums, sit inside a nice restaurant/cafe and survive, you know. 😂
