Girne (Kyrenia) Northern Cyprus

Travel vlog #35 | Girne, Northern Cyprus| Filmed February-March 2022
Cyprus is a tadpole-shaped island in the Eastern Mediterranean that has been a stepping stone between Africa, the Middle East, and Europe for thousands of years.
For the past 48 years, it has been divided between the Republic of Cyprus in the South and the de facto Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
Officially an Occupied Territory, Northern Cyprus is only recognized by Türkiye and is dependent on it for its continued existence.
It was fascinating to explore this country that's not a country, and we learned a lot in the process.
To go more in-depth than we can cover on the history and current situation in Cyprus, here's an excellent 4-part video series:

About Us:
-------------------------------------------------------
We are Matt and Avic; Matt grew up in Virginia, USA, and Avic in Quezon City, Philippines. Since we started dating back in the 1990s, travel has been a major part of our relationship.
By May of 2021, both of our sons were out on their own and we were fully vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus. We decided to quit our jobs, sell our house, get rid of most of our stuff (store the rest), and set out on a Nomadic Life.
“Explore Tayo” means “let’s explore” in Taglish (blended Tagalog-English.) “Tayo” is the inclusive “we” vs the exclusive “kami." This isn’t just OUR journey, we want to include everyone who watches our videos or visits our site so we hope you will hit "like" and "subscribe" and come along for the ride!
