Who am I?
A man from the USA trying to discover the world one place at a time, while sharing the experiences through my lens. I like traveling to places that are usually not first on most people’s itinerary and showing everyone that these places are worth the journey. I want to experience all the countries I visit as a member of the society but at the same time learn about the culture, food and beautiful people. Growth is not achievable without leaving your comfort zone, so just do it!

I’m from the US, I fell in love with Turkey when I first visited 10 years ago, went back almost every other year. I purchased a property in Izmir and met the love of my life and now I’m married to a Turkish man❤

The problem is that too many brokers in that bazaar that takes advantage of tourists and scam people 😢

Hey man I just came across your channel and this vlog randomly, and instantly reminded me of my first trip to Istanbul back in February, and my last day of stay, I walked alone through all these places, the bazaar, blue mosque, Ayasofya Camii and the rest you showed in the video. For food I went to Usta Sahin Doner, just outside the bazaar towards Sultan Ahmet's, I paied 350-400TL including a glass of fresh Ayran. I will definitely check your other videos of Istanbul to see, as I'm already planning to go back in May! Keep up the great vide and contents! 🔥 You've just gained a new subscriber 😎

[@myertravels]

Thank you so much brother!!

Great video man. Loved your vibe. I can forsee that you channel will grow much more. For a less touristy destination in istanbul I can suggest asian side of the city. Kadıköy can be prefered. It is still touristy but not as much as the european side.

Masallah, brother is deeply relaxed. This is the art of surviving in Istanbul. 🙂 But I would first compare the prices and tell the seller so so that he can give a good price first. 37:57 Good food doesn't need sauces. 😋Afiyet olsun.

Cleaning in Turkey has a history dating back thousands of years. For example, the Hittites used to administer severe punishments, including execution, to cooks and their families if the kitchen was not clean or even if the cook had hair. Hand hygiene has also been considered extremely important. With Anatolia boasting a city life history spanning 12 thousand years, it's likely that people recognized the importance of cleanliness for various reasons.

[@leoprg5330]

12 thousand years ago there wasn't Turkey in places that's now Turkey. Anyway so sad that the guy selling sweets was actually a refugee from Syria

Lokum is Turkish Delight

[@pnary2544]

36:43 this guy is very funny and humoristic😄 Even though you don't speak Turkish, you look like you're having fun By the way, the cup you bought from the Grand Bazaar is handmade copper, so you bought it at the normal price, don't worry, you didn't get ripped off. I checked the prices online. Even on the internet it is around 600-700 TL. You may even think that you bought it cheaply because store rents in the Grand Bazaar are very high and sellers have to sell a little more expensive to make a profit

[@myertravels]

Thank you!!

[@zombiefreak3]

I am coming on end of April 2024. I wonder what is the appropriate attire for the weather on end of April to mid May 2024. Someone enlighten me please

[@dianaqura-uu6pt]

I am leaving to turkey tomorrow from US the weather in Istanbul is very mild in April mid 60s to low 70s for the next week so lightweight and breathable clothing suitable for mild temperatures, including long-sleeved shirts, trousers, and a light jacket or sweater for cooler evenings , the temperature drops at nighttime’s and when you are close to the water

[@aaaabbxx]

Me too, also going at the very end of April and staying for a week. I have been wondering the same thing. I will be taking light spring / summer type of attire, with a light jacket, cardigan and hoodie for evenings (and a pac-a-mac... just in case. Hopefully I won't need that!😊).

[@Medjd1633]

for that price you could buy 10-15 pieces of the same cup!

[@myertravels]

You live and learn haha

[@inghetata76]

have you been to Istanbul and not come to Bucharest?... Bucharest is beyond expectations...

[@KenanTurkiye]

******************* Heres something you may find interesting. :) The name of my country has nothing to do with the interesting and delicious bird 'turkey'...... .....but the name of the bird does have a connection with the name of my country, let me explain. :) In the past 40 years 37 countries have changed their name. Obviously one can not change the name of an apple or an orange etc in other languages, but country names are like peoples' individual names, so if you're named John we don't call you Karen. :) Name of my country has always been Türkiye, it's been known as such since around the 1200's. The name it self has a suffix, '-iye', that is Turk-iye, where the -iye suffix means 'land of/belonging to', just like the Latin suffix of '-ia', which exists in such country names like Austr-ia, Austral-ia, Indones-ia etc. Basically, the use of '-iye/-ia' is the same as the the use of '-land' suffix in country names like Ire(Eire)-land, Po(le)-land, Eng(Anglo)-land and so on and so on. Many would remember the country Czechoslovak-ia which changed it's name to Czech Republic and a few years ago changed that to Czechia (that is Czech-ia). The Latin suffix -ia probably originates from Turkish -iye as Turkish been over 10,000 years is much older than Latin which is around 1300 years old. Spelled in different languages in different ways to phonetically resemble (to sound like) 'Türkiye' we got various spellings like; Turq-uía (in Spanish), Turch-ia (in Italian), Turq-uie (in French) Turk-ei (in German) Turk-ey (in English) Mind you this was way before the animal we currently know as turkey was found by the europeans when they explored the north americas. The bird was first sent to europe from north americas in the year 1519, so up until that point there was no bird named turkey.... ...they came across the bird and thought it was a specie of the fowl/chicken they had been buying from the country of Turkiye at the time, so they named the bird 'Turkey Fowl' to define 'Turkish Chicken'... ....just like how a dog breed is known as German Shepherd (because it's from Germany), American Bulldog, British Terrier, Greek Harehound etc etc. In time you don't get to call the harehound simply as Greek or you don't call the terrier Britirsh, or shepherd as simply German, but in time the Turkish Fowl started to be called just 'Turkey' and later 'turkey', and this went on for hundreds of years. Now in modern times, this caused confusion, especially when we have people across the world unable to point to their own country on an atlas. Basically we didn't change the name of our country, we changed the mistake made in the English language. : ) So, there's some tid bit information for you to have a great day, if you read upto this point you have a great night too, ohh just have a wonderfull life. : ) Best wishes. ;)
