Travel (Outside of Canada)

Istanbul the capital of Turkey, eastern tourist city.

I went to Turkey in September 2014 and absolutely loved it. I had the opportunity to travel quite a bit around Turkey to places such as Istanbul, Pamukkale, Izmir, Cappadocia, Antalya, Bursa, and a few other places. Originally I had no desire to go to Turkey because I didn’t know much about the country. I am not good at history and geography. My family was planning the trip so and I just agreed to go not knowing what to expect. After my first few days in Turkey it quickly became one of my favorite countries to visit. These are my reasons why I love Turkey and am so excited to speak about it. Turkey is full of life. When you visit Turkey you just feel a huge pulse of life. Everyone goes out and has a great time. The cities and sites in Turkey are also amazing. People in Turkey are very nice and welcoming. They love conversations and are very spiritual. Turkey has a very old culture, history, and way of doing things and people really value their culture and tradition. Everything from the way they pray to the type of tea they drink is amazing. Food in Turkey is also delicious. I recommend everyone to visit this wonderful country.
