HELLO THERE:
We are Joe and Liisu, full-time travelers from Estonia on a mission to break stereotypes, show diverse cultures and wander in the magical nature. Joe, a seasoned traveler of 8 years, began his journey while working in Australia, New Zealand and Canada (holding over 25 different jobs). Liisu, a former medical doctor, joined the adventure 2 years ago. Now we live on the road, exploring the world either from our backpacks or in a van.

OMG, the funniest video ever 🤣🤣🤣 And the food was perfect, I am telling you. Especcially the ''karnıyarık'' was amazing. The thing is that it was too much, took 2 days to finish them all. But you guys have the mojo; they all tasted perfect, we loved it. So when you are tired of travelling you can probably open a Turkish Restaurant! I will be a regular 🤗

[@giannishen]

Never tell grandma you're not hungry, you said it so well, it is correct! Turks are so lovely, thank you for sharing such a warm episode! 👍🥰🙌

[@blondilass]

Hey Guys, This reminds me of all my Turkish friends houses and how the older ladies make you feel so very special as their guests. Always feeding you and making you feel welcome. This video was a joy to watch and I'm hoping that you will remain in Turkiye for more intimate vlogs like these. I for one will always follow you in Turkiye, as other countries lack the hospitality and interesting culture/history that my favourite country has to offer. Great to see you back.

[@WildVikingTravels]

Hey, Linda! Hope you are doing well 😊🙏. And also thank you so much for the kind words! The ladies were truly amazing and it really opened up a new side of the country for us. (you probably know that when visiting people here hospitality is such an important part that they don't usually want guests to help at all, but we are so glad that we got to learn a great deal this time 😁 Best wishes currently from Mersin 🤗

[@blondilass]

@@WildVikingTravels So happy that you are back in Turkiye, wish I was there too! You won't go wrong filming everyday life there because people are so kind and interesting. Everyone loves personal insider vlogs. I am sure for certain that Turkish families will embrace you and show you everything that you thought you already knew about the culture but there are surprises around every corner. Enjoy...🎅

[@isabelle3365]

What an experience. Great people.

[@travellingwithcrowsfeet]

And this is exactly why we travel, to meet new people, to connect with new people and to become a better person. We have been watching your vlogs for a good few years niw, and this vlog is, by far, the best one you have ever produced, thank you, you have captured the country and its peoole beautifully ❤

[@guyon2wheels808]

Such an awesome thing to do. Truely a joy to watch. Brings back too many memories of my mother's kitchen. Thank you for sharing.

[@WildVikingTravels]

Heyhey. I totally agree! Thanks to Turkish hospitality Turks usually want their guest just to sit and enjoy doing nothing, so this time we feel so lucky to have had this chance to truly emerge ourselves into the culture 😁🙏

My favourite Viking,just subscribed

[@Mojitoprs]

Now the time you learn Turkish 😉

[@WildVikingTravels]

Hihi. Slowly slowly. Meloš even told me that I can stay with her for a crash course 😂

[@ozlemdr6076]

Cutting onions is such a pain but I loled when you cried because of that. You can’t cook a nice meal without pain 😂 that’s why i cook onions, red pepper paste and tomato sauce once or twice a month to use it later for meals, it is easier to prepare one jar or two at once. 😂

[@autumnmanuever]

Afiyet olsun. :)

[@arifyanar8348]

U are so cute guys. A big from İzmir/Turkey. U should come to İzmir and ı will be happy if u are coming to my home. 😍

[@r-pw1ez]

We are mediterranean. 🇹🇷🇬🇷🇮🇹

[@grandplans]

Man, I would love to know many languages, starting with the European languages. They all fascinate me. I know some words and phrases in some, but that is it. This video was very fun to watch. I wish I could just be dropped into a country with a completely different language where I had no choice but to learn the language to communicate. So far I would to survive in Mexico, and the deaf community.

[@uysalkasim5002]

its as easy as it looks to get along all humankind only the rich will do things that will not let that happen

[@murattahan2391]

(don't know if im allowed to mention here, but don't know how else to tell you I opened my own channel but im so new to videos and editing it that i'd like some advice if you don't mind?) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3bSqHyViN2pr5Y - if you want to, feel free to delete this comment please.
