EXPLORING EPHESUS | THE BEST RUIN IN TURKEY! | EP 139

[@Lidzee22]

I’m just catching up with your Turkey vlogs, Turkey looks amazing! Definitely a country I would love to visit!

[@WorldTowning]

It is amazing and the kindness is overwhelming. I cannot even put into words how good the people have been to us. Thanks for catching up, lots more to come.

[@adamkarasakal8879]

@@WorldTowning I'm half Turkish I live in Philadelphia I plan on visiting again soon it's been so long ..I love your videos they are all amazing, I'm so glad you guys went to Turkey! I feel like I am there with you guys :)

[@Universe_Stormer]

oh man I've just discovered your guys' channel. I've been watching the Turkish visit and the videos are really awesome and so is the family. Such well raised kids, great parents enjoying the life together. I loved how the vids are edited, sharing little anecdotes about the experience. Very well executed vlog!

[@WorldTowning]

Thanks! Welcome to our WorldTowning community and this crazy channel. We have a lot of fun here and starting next Sunday we have a special treat for everyone. Thanks for your kind words. More to come.

[@madie72451]

Awesome video! Even I’m learning from ur travels!! Way better than reading it in a book. Visualization is the way to learn and keep the information. Looking forward to the next video!!

[@WorldTowning]

Thanks Madeline, that is such a sweet compliment. I have to visualize, touch and sometime taste (wink) in order to learn. Pamukkale is up next!

[@MrsBilla-nu8qb]

I loved this episode. I’ve always wanted to visit Turkey (I’ve only been in the airport). I didn’t know that their cat population rivaled Morocco’s. LOL!! It’s so wonderful that Avalon and Largo are experiencing history instead of just reading about it. I truly wish that more kids could get this kind of opportunity. I think that what you are are doing is is fabulous!

[@WorldTowning]

You must visit, it is amazing! Thanks for your compliments. I agree, I so wish more kids could have this opportunity. Travel and history is so crucial!

[@abdelhak3809]

Julie V.Billa: Turkish cats are archaeologists but moroccan cats are anthropologists. 💥🤩💥

[@krissto22]

Another great video👍 We've learned so much from you guys about things and stuff, history, places, you name it, wow! Love, love, love! Keep it rolling. Thank you and stay safe. We don't want to hear about you on RNN, lol. Congrats on 10k+ subs 👍😄

[@WorldTowning]

Thanks Kriss! I am so happy you are learning from our vlogs, that is one of our goals!!! Yeah! Your support is so sweet and we are grateful! Ha, We will be safe, no RNN from this crew. 10k bam!

[@FoodieTrekker]

If you guys ever go back to Izmir please go to town called Tire, they have a Tuesday farmers market which is amazing and food is so delicious. Great vlog guys.

[@WorldTowning]

Thanks for the tip!!

[@gingerz169]

OMG! You guys are so adorable!!!! My dark heart can't take the sweetness! Not even two minutes into the video and you guys are so cute. I love how Jessica tells the upset cat "its time for a mindfulness moment." I'm going to have to try that with the kitties where I live when they aren't getting along. And I love how Will tells Jessica "You don't get hangry, you get hungr-lovely. So sweet!!!!

[@WorldTowning]

Thanks Ginger, you are too kind. Mindfulness and Owning It are my two big words for 2019! We are hitting it out of the park on both so far. We needed to be more mindful as travel can sometimes keep you on a spinning wheel. As for owning it, well, we are good at what we do with our biz and it was time to shout it from the rooftops. Why not share my secrets with the cats. Ha. xoxo

[@jorgeleonardo1957]

Loved your visit to Ephesus! Not quite sure if you are still in the area, but if you do, make sure to visit the home (sanctuary) of the Virgin Mary. Not big, but quite touching. Still working with MDC to see if we could make the talk possible. I will be emailing you shortly. Regards history education: 100% agree with you, travel is the best teacher, only if you do so with an open mind and an intent to learn. Many blessings and safe travels! On another note: I see you are a cheese lover, so you must try the cheese dessert "Knafe" or "kanafeh" or "konafa" make sure to have it warm when the gooey mozzarella-like cheese makes a good compliment to the toasted shredded phyllo dough. It's usually served on small round metal trays and dosed with honey or a sugary syrup which can be infused with rose/orange water and garnished with pistachios. A common dessert through the middle eastern countries; not quite sure if you have had it already. Enjoy!

[@WorldTowning]

We have already left, darn. We tried to visit Mary's home, but it was not covered under our "all access pass," we still planned to go, but it was $$$$. Great, we are here when you are ready. Can't wait to corrupt the youth of American (wink, wink) with the reality of travel being possible. I had Künefe two days ago. I liked it, but it was too cheesy for me. I can't believe something can be too cheesy for me. Ha.

[@pattysternjacob3713]

Ephesus was amazing. Thank you for sharing.

[@WorldTowning]

You are most welcome. It was an amazing experience for us as well.

[@aaronholyoake7117]

deserve so many more subscribers, actually loving the turkey vlogs :)

[@WorldTowning]

Very much appreciated. Thanks for the support.

[@Zabrina0774]

I was in Ephesus Oct of last year (2019) and I couldn't believe how many cats were there! I found your vlog because I'm planing my Camino trip and I fell in love with your family. I'm having so much fun catching up with you guys. Praying for better weather for you guys lol

[@fifalayalmm5145]

You should be proud of your children. They both like gems.

[@WorldTowning]

Thanks. We are so proud of them. They have had amazing experiences and some crazy times, but they push on. They have amazing open minds full of love.

[@wannurinfarina8549]

Thank u for the very informative vlogs! Stumbled upon your channel and end up binging and loving them. Can’t wait for my trip to Turkey next month!

[@WorldTowning]

Thanks for binge watching. Happy to have you here. So much more to come as we embark on our Asia adventure.

[@nidiacorzo7635]

This was so much fun and educational. Love you guys. I just appreciate all the hard work. Jessica and Avalon, I’m 54 and you both remind me today( than even went we live so far away from each other) my Mom always hold my hand. Me in Utah, mom in the Canary Islands. You are all so inspiring. Love ya. . Will you are doing and outstanding job with filming and music. I don’t care about the big cameras you saw that day, you are an amazing Latino hard worker. Nada que incidirá a otros!!! Tu eres increíble. Keep the good work! Nidia from the mountains of Utah.

[@WorldTowning]

Thank you Nidia! Gracias. We all work hard, yes, but Will works extra hard. He is the best!!! Thank you for your kind words and being part of our community. More to come!

[@juliaangelicaa5395]

I agree with Jess & Avalon, I learned tons of history, food, & culture through traveling. I started when I was 13 bec my mom made me... 😂😂😂 And like you, I love watching Rick Steves (& Anthony B.) BTW, "amphitheatre" yells Largo, so clever and cute!!!

[@WorldTowning]

Sounds like your mom was way ahead of her time. Lucky you. I am hoping Rick Steves is watching and wants to have us all on his show (you included).

[@aprimarieu8729]

Loving all the footage and also like the preview and review for next vlogs. Enjoy watching ur family adventures 🤩😎

[@WorldTowning]

Thank you so much 😁

[@nooneanybodyknows1321]

Jessica, I know you embrace your pink hi-lightened hair but, if I may, you look stunning in the hat. On a more important note, this episode was great. I love learning and this fit the bill; from the Bible reference of Apostle Paul, Largo's cats, RNR, Avalon's acting and quiz question, and being weird enough to walk up to a total stranger and want the same meal...you guys rocked the Ephesus and Turkey.

[@WorldTowning]

Thanks. I actually LOVE hats. I only have room for one (plus our WTing hat) in the RV, but I had a lot more in my stationary live. So glad you enjoyed this vlog. We had a lot of fun making it and for people who are not particularly morning people I think we struck gold. Maybe we have discovered something about ourselves. Ha, I love strangers.

[@irishgemstone4831]

Lovely family,love your comments about turkey ,

[@WorldTowning]

Thank you so much All the best during these crazy times.

[@NessChat]

“ More cats than people” our family’s dream ! 😻😻😻 Must put Ephesus on our list ! We agree, World schooling 🌍 .... the best way to learn about culture and history ! My kids always come home with new eyes after one of our travel adventures ! Great video 😄

[@WorldTowning]

And they were so darn cute and friendly. Love this! WorldSchooling for the win.

[@msdaisydidi2640]

I have been to Kusadasi and surrounding area, it was an incredible travel. I am planning on going back this summer.

[@WorldTowning]

We truly enjoyed it. Turkey in general has been amazing. I wish we had 3 months here, but we will make the most of what time we have. Congrats on the return trip.

[@nancywolfe1983]

Wonderful video. Great history lesson. Thanks.

[@WorldTowning]

Thanks Nancy! More great Turkey to come.

[@agusahadi2451]

Amazing ephosus👍🇮🇩

[@WorldTowning]

amazing!!!

[@ProBioMech]

Amazing. I’ve never heard of it (I’m embarrassed now).

[@WorldTowning]

Don't be, there are so many places we say that about as we travel. We can't know everything, right? But, our plan is to share as much as possible so we can all learn together.

[@julianlord5366]

I grew up in southern Europe (in the last remaining ancient Greek City State still to be politically independent no less, though it's not been Greek for millennia), and ruins ancient, mediaeval, and modern (even prehistorical) are all around -- so I definitely prefer cats !! Still, Ephesus does look rare and impressive, and it's so cool that it's the Library where they invented the codex !! And the marriage vows quote is of course from Ephesians ... BTW starting my Camino again back at Aix in about 10 days, after an injury grounded me for about two months. I'll walk to Arles at least, to see if my thigh will behave (it feels like it will), then on to Perpignan and etc

[@WorldTowning]

Wow, what a cool place to grow up. We have seen some impressive ruins, but Ephesus just hit us hard. Congrats on the Camino return. So sorry you had an injury, but glad you are finding your way back. Buen Camino. You can do it!

[@zuemh702]

Ephesus is amazing! I remembered standing in front of the Library of Celsus and just staring in disbelief at how just beautiful it was. ❤️❤️❤️ And the cats? Wow! I was in kitty heaven, I didn’t want to leave. 😂

[@WorldTowning]

I know. We loved it too! It is so touristy, but we could not resist and we are so glad we went. Oh, the kitties. Made me want one for our family. WTing Kitten, one day. Celsus was so cool!

[@Amacott99]

I bloody hate selfie sticks 😂😂 Brilliant video guys

[@WorldTowning]

Ha, thanks. The sticks are taking over the world.

[@tahliah6691]

Will you be going to pumukkele? Amazingly beautiful....

[@WorldTowning]

Yes, next vlog! Beautiful, but burrrr, it was cold on the day of our visit. Ha! Story of our life (wink).

[@sq4732]

Is it bad if the parts I love watching the most are the food and shopping parts? I just love seeing different cultures and their cuisines, it’s incredible! 😊

[@sq4732]

The small montage in Ephesus is so cute! Adorable family!

[@111-k4d9m]

Curse those tourist busses. They are a pain. Great vlog - loved it and the humour.

[@WorldTowning]

Thanks. Ha! I guess one could mildly say we are tourist as well, so I don't want to hate on the buses too much. But, we see them coming and we run to beat them. We hate lines. Glad you enjoyed the vlog.

[@111-k4d9m]

@@WorldTowning I would classify your family as travellers not tourists. All the best and happy buzzing around as travellers.

[@processserver8470]

If you’re going back to Morocco 🇲🇦 don’t forget to visit Issaouira and enjoy their delicious sea food 🦐🦑🐙🐟🍤🍽

[@WorldTowning]

We loved it there. We did visit last year. Amazing!!!!

[@abdelhak3809]

Hi guys !! I read somewhere (certainly not in Ephesus library) that a tourist, by defintion, is the one who came and we saw him coming. But, it seems to me that you guys don't like to be seeing as tourists. It's little bit confusing, isn't it ??. I hope that one day Avalon will find out the exact definition of neolithic sightseers and who they were??. 🤔💤🤔💤 Take care and have good time.🍀☘

[@WorldTowning]

We are tourists, by definition and I am not offended by someone calling us one at all. However, I do see us very different from tourist, not better, just different since this is a lifestyle choice rather than a vacation and because of our commitment to meet and befriend locals along the way. I am so chill about titles. Thanks for commenting and watching our vlogs.
