Do you have a longing to travel but don't know where to go or where to begin? Join me on my undetermined path and hopefully you can get wonderfully lost just like me!

Just a quick snap of the fingers to your next trav Just a quick snap of the fingers to your next travel destination! 

From work, to the airport, to arrival! 

Took a bit longer than that but you get the idea! 

Amazing time traveling to and exploring Istanbul, Turkey!

Travel isn’t travel without the mishaps that happe Travel isn’t travel without the mishaps that happen along the way. Each mistake is an opportunity to learn, grow, be adaptable. I pride myself on being a seasoned traveler but wow-there were some really iconic mistakes and mishaps I had on this trip! 

Learn from me check your cards expiration dates, always bring some cash, bring the meds, prepare for the weather, extra clothes in your carry on in case your bags are delayed- you’re welcome! 

***Definitely stay several days in Cappadocia- our first two days had no balloons and we were beyond lucky to get a spot on our final day!

Cappadocia, Turkey 🇹🇷 Hot air balloon experience Cappadocia, Turkey 🇹🇷 

Hot air balloon experience is an absolute must! It was a true highlight of my trip to Turkey. 

You start the morning with a very early pick up. You check in and have breakfast and then load back into your van to head to where the hot air balloons take off from. You climb into the basket and before long you are up in the air! It’s incredible to see the balloons lit up and be up in the air to see the sunrise! Then you get to see the perfect golden sun hit other balloons and the surreal landscape. After 1 hour in the air your pilot will land you and you get a mimosa toast and some more snacks! 

It’s been a bucket list thing for me to do and so happy I got to check it off here! 

Top tips: 
1. Plan to spend several days in Cappadocia if it is too windy, the hot air balloons will be canceled and it can be challenging or cost more money to get on a subsequent balloon ride the first two days of our trip. There were no hot air balloons, and we were beyond thrilled to secure a spot on Discovery Balloons.
2. Bring layers and sunglasses. It can be quite chilly in the morning and I needed to dress in layers. Was very happy to have my sunglasses once the sun came up over the horizon.
3. Bring your camera and phone. I decided just to bring my iPhone and was able to get several videos and pictures. I did have a bigger camera which I selected to leave home but noticed that several other people did bring their big cameras.
4. There are no bathrooms once you get to the balloon site there are bathrooms at the breakfast area, but the line can be long so if you need to go to the bathroom prior to leaving go at your hotel or get in line early at the early breakfast.
5. Be ready for an early day pick ups start around 4:30 AM.

would have loved to have a day watching the balloons from a rooftop or from some of the viewpoints, but we felt very lucky to have been able to experience the hot air balloons from the air. If you do not have the opportunity to do both like us, I would  highly recommend doing the hot air balloon if you have the opportunity.

Istanbul, Turkey 🇹🇷 Taking a sunset cruise in th Istanbul, Turkey 🇹🇷 

Taking a sunset cruise in the Bosphorus is a great way to see Istanbul! The cruise crosses between the European and Asian part of Istanbul passing by amazing landmarks including Dolmabahçe Palace, Çırağan Palace, Beylerbeyi Palace, Rumeli Fortress, Maiden’s Tower, Ortaköy Mosque and ending with sunset views over Sultanahmet. It included fresh lemonade, fresh fruit and snacks with alcoholic drinks for purchase. I highly recommend doing this on your visit!

Zhinvali Reservoir, Georgia 🇬🇪 Crystal blue wate Zhinvali Reservoir, Georgia 🇬🇪 

Crystal blue waters surrounded by mountains at this beautiful stop along the Georgian Military Road to Kazbegi. Definitely a must stop. There are also shops and toilets. This artificial lake on the Aragvi River supplies water to Tbilisi and the views are remarkable!

Armenia 🇦🇲 Did an incredible day trip to Armenia Armenia 🇦🇲 

Did an incredible day trip to Armenia from Tbilisi, Georgia. Included incredible Armenian lunch and visiting some incredible places including the Akhtala, Haghpat and Sanahin Monasteries, Sanahin Bridge, MiG-21 at the Mikoyan Brothers Museum and learned about copper mining. It was a wonderful experience! 

Visited using tour company Gamarjoba Georgia Tours through GetYourGuide 

If you want to cross another country off your list and have an extra day in Tbilisi this is a great way to see a part of Armenia! I highly recommend it!

Istanbul, Turkey 🇹🇷 Istanbul is an incredible ci Istanbul, Turkey 🇹🇷 

Istanbul is an incredible city. If you only have a day you must visit the Sultanahmet area which is the historic heart of the city. It has a very concentrated area of top landmarks to visit including the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topaki Palace and Basilica Cistern. 

Top tips: Dress conservatively and have a scarf to cover your head. Visit a rooftop or two to soak in the views, sunset is a great time to do that, consider buying tickets in advance especially during high season, use the public transport to get to other areas or to and from the airport. 

I recommend spending more than 1 day if you can but it worth it even if long layover- also visited in 2018 with a long layover!
