GIRL, you EXACTLY situation of the taxi at airport issue happened to me in Medellin, Colombia & I ended up getting SA’d. The most helpless I felt in my life.

Many blessing to you & safe travels out her baby girl ❤❤

I just came across your channel and subscribe instantly because of your energy.. I love solo traveling too and thinking about Istanbul.. Thank you for showing a glimpse of this city, I at least had an idea what to do and what not.. it seems scary especially for a woman. But I know it’s a great city to visit. I love your confidence in talking to strangers which I don’t see myself doing, but I get that it helps lighten the anxious feeling also and make them feel you are not scared of them. I love London, been there last year so I am looking forward to your vlog. Hope you can visit Philippines too!!! You are very much welcome here.. ❤

[@christinablanks4518]

I lived in Adana, Turkey for five years. I was a kid and everything I just saw is 100% true. The men do treat you like queens, and are very friendly. Ekmek is everywhere and is really good. You better say your prayers before crossing the street. Allah's will is the motto they live by so keep that in mind when crossing the street. My mother tells the tale of a Turkish person picking me up and running across the street because he saw her struggling with two kids. My brother was younger and she was trying to hold our hands. The Turkish person said their going to die and helped us. Lovely people.
