Why Cappadocia should be the new EATPRAYLOVE (Cappadocia photos)

Why Cappadocia should be the new EATPRAYLOVE (Cappadocia photos)

I’ve been in a bit of pensive mood lately, work has been overwhelming and nobody, including myself seems to be truly happy anymore. So, I’ve decided to reminisce and maybe think of ways in which I could be happier. As the saying goes, when life gives you lemons, edit a bunch of photos in Lightroom and write a list. So here’s a list of reasons why Bali is no better than Cappadocia when it comes to getting over an ex, dealing with some nasty sh*t, or when you’re just done with life*.

*disclaimer, I have never actually read Eat Pray Love because its cliché and dumb and I cry easily.

Bucketlist Experience: Hot Air Balloon in Cappadocia, Turkey

There’s one constant that you will find in nearly every bucketlist or things-to-do-before-you-die clickbait—taking a hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia, Turkey. At about 160 Euros per person on average (for an hour’s ride), a hot air balloon ride does not come cheap. Here are some photos to convince you that 160 Euros for a lifetime of memories is worth it. 

48 hours in Istanbul

48 hours in Istanbul

Istanbul, the most populous city in Turkey and its de-facto economic, cultural and historical centre. Historically, its location was of great strategic importance. It nests directly on the silk road and is the only sea route between the black sea and the Mediterranean. Today, it is the only country that is both in continental Europe and Asia.

Obviously, 48 hours does not do justice to Istanbul’s extremely unique and historically rich culture. But nonetheless, for those short on time, this will do.
