About us:
After meeting in New Zealand back in 2017, Beth and Jake have travelled the world, working online and creating memories.
Beth left the UK in 2014 and has been travelling full time ever since, she is the owner of www.sheisthelostgirl.com and has a passion for writing and photography.
Jake has been travelling since 2016 and during this time has perfected his photography and videography skills. He is adventurous and has a passion for the outdoors.
Having lived in various countries around the world, we decided that instead of settling down, we'd build a tiny home inside a van.
We've never done anything like this before, we have no building experience, no electrical experience, and no plumbing experience.
This is a huge learning curve for us and we welcome you to join us in this challenge.
Our Wild Horizons documents a journey of continued adventure.

Many many thanks, guys! I'm coming back to Istanbul after 10 years and now I'm vegan... I'm very happy to see so many vegan places, now! 😃😋

[@saffrondominic4585]

I'm a vegetarian, and it looks like Istanbul is a food heaven for vegetarians and vegan. I will visit it this year for sure. Thank you for this Our Wild Horizons

[@OurWildHorizons]

We couldn’t believe how many options there were for us! Definitely book that trip!

[@saffrondominic4585]

[@rupsi1]

Heading to Istanbul next week, thanks for the video. Def looks delish!

[@OurWildHorizons]

Oooh I hope you enjoyed your trip and found some of these places 😀

The lamb in Istanbul is some of the best in the world1

[@viktoriashar]

Thank you!!! It was really interesting and practical 👌🏼

[@S24suagain]

Excellent informative video on vegan options. Many thanks for showing how important cruelty free life is to you. There are many van life folks who simply pay lip service and you have to pressure them to talk about vegan food. Nice work and thanks again.

[@OurWildHorizons]

Thank you so much for watching!! For us finding vegan food around the world is one of the things we love most about travelling! :) we are so passionate about it and can’t wait to make more videos about it ☺️ Vegan for the animals for life 🌱❤️

@@OurWildHorizons Nice one. Keep it rocking. 😍😎

[@rosiethevan3888]

Such a great, informative video on vegan food in Istanbul! Lucky that we are going soon, perfect timing, thank you 😍

[@OurWildHorizons]

Ah that’s brilliant! Hope you found it useful and you’ve saved a few of the places! 😀

[@nicroams]

Omg you’re making me so hungry! The good looks so good, thanks for sharing 🥰

[@OurWildHorizons]

Thanks Nic ❤️❤️

[@user-uv9lu7ov5r]

The reason the price of vegan Turkish food is so much higher than regular vegetarians (lacto-vegetarian) food is, of course, because vegans are willing to pay it. You are in a niche market. I loved Istanbul for vegetarian food - very easy to find, especially for breakfast.

[@kateur9923]

👋can't wait to try all these great places, thanks for the guide

[@OurWildHorizons]

Yay, hope you enjoyed it, and thank you for watching! 😀😀

[@phillyandkeely]

This is so helpful! I saved all your recommendations and will try them all! I'm in my fifties and have been vegan for years. Keep making your videos!

[@OurWildHorizons]

Thank you, I hope you have a wonderful trip enjoying all the food!

[@johnnygonzalez1683]

Hi ! Im Johnny from Costa Rica. Im visiting Istanbul with my mother (who is not vegan) for a week next autumn and I was already wondering what to eat there :S. Your video is awesome and I will surely visit the one you found closed (with our without mum), and give you some feedback :). I'm more into spicy food and not so much like sweets (unlike her); and your disimilar tastes were fun to watch and really projected how the food really tastes while adding something personal to it ! I loved the breakdown review at the end of each meal too :D Cheers thanks and take care !! #vfta

[@soray8210]

Thanks - i am going in 2 weeks - very useful 🙂

[@OurWildHorizons]

Thanks so much for your Istanbul videos as the sole vegan going with friends in a few weeks I’ve now got a fab list of places to suggest … esp excited to overdose on baklava lol

[@TasviShah]

Yes please to more vegan travel videos like this!! This was soo helpful thank you :)

[@OurWildHorizons]

Ah thank you so much! We loved devouring all that food and will hopefully make some more when we go to places with lots of options 😊

Really good video this must have taken a while to edit.Very interesting food and great to the was alot of choice. I hope you do more vlogs like this but not to often as it's alot of work for you.

[@OurWildHorizons]

Thank you so much for watching! Yes it definitely takes a long time to make videos like this :) but still enjoyable for us 😁 We really appreciate you taking the time to watch and leave a comment 😊

[@MTNestCrafts]

Well you didn't go hungry then🤣 loved the look of all that food and great to know that there was so much choice. I really enjoyed this little film. 🌱🌱

[@OurWildHorizons]

Thank you! This is probably the most fun we’ve had making a video 😁😊🤣

[@jeanroberson7089]

I don’t think I’ll ever make it to Istanbul, but it’s good to know that I’d have plenty of vegan food options! Thank you!

[@OurWildHorizons]

Thank you for watching!! Yes we were so surprised by the amount of choices :)

Hey Jake and Beth wow I really wanna go to all those spots now and eat so much! This video is 🔥🔥I want that 80p wrap 🤤amazing edit and filming!!

[@WhatsJakesTake]

So much food!!! 😊😀

[@OurWildHorizons]

Couldn’t believe how many options there were for vegans!

[@plantkingdom6880]

Nice. So many cats. Who takes care of them? Do they have food stations etc. like some other countries do?

[@OurWildHorizons]

Yes! And it seemed like every street had a pile of cat food on it. They and the dogs were all well cared for. I’d argue the dogs were even too fat some times!

[@galdienfrean]

As a Turkish person, I don't think your judgment of the open buffet place at around 15:30 was fair. Those are all traditional Turkish homemeals which we call "zeytinyağlı" (olive oil food). They are neither meant to be eaten fresh nor hot. They can wait for long hours without going bad and are best eaten after sitting for some time. Most are even preferred to be served refrigerated. So, the open buffet design is actually perfect for those types of food. They are not even "vegan" alternatives by the way, they are all authentic Turkish food which happen to be vegan.

[@murattahan2391]

What you eat in vegan Istanbul is usually olive oil. it is eaten cold. I suggest you try pancakes (like with potatoes, spinach.)

[@OurWildHorizons]

Ah thanks for the suggestions! We’ll definitely check them out next time 😊

Thank you! Hopefully we'll create some more of these style videos in the future! 😊

[@thevagabondonwheels4918]

What are your walking around cameras? Are you shooting in 4k24? I enjoy your camera work, substantially better than most motorhoming vloggers. Thanks!

[@OurWildHorizons]

Thank you so much for the compliment! We use the Sony alpha range but always set to 4k25 (25 since we spend most time in the Europe and Asia which runs on PAL instead of NTSC like in the North Americas. I also like to use an ND filter to keep the shutter speed natural too. Thanks for watching!

[@burakaysezer3110]

15:57 No worries. İts almost impossible to find a non-vegan Çiğ Köfte.

[@OurWildHorizons]

Ah I read that some of them were raw meat! So didn’t want anyone to make the mistake! Thanks for clarifying it 😀

[@VenturousVagabonds]

We just published a video a week ago of us trying the top 13 STREET FOODS in Istanbul. We really enjoyed this video that showed the healthier side of things 😂 Next time back in Istanbul definitely trying some of these!
