Here is another review of an expat blog, mytravelingjoys.com. A blog about Turkish food, traveling in Turkey, living as an expat in Istanbul, favorite restaurants, Turkish recipes and visiting the local markets.
The author of this blog Joy is an American expat currently living in London. She has been to 30+ countries and is an avid photographer. My favorite post from her blog had to be her hiking on phillip island . Such beautiful pictures. It sort of reminds me of my trip to San Diego and La Jolla two weeks ago. During her travels in Istanbul, she mentions going through the Belgrade forest and hiking on a 6-1/2 kilometer trail which she says the trail is updated, meaning their are no potholes. I can totally relate to potholes, Minnesota roads are filled with them thanks to the abundant snow and rain.
Joy talks about her stay at Alaçatı Zeytin Konak Otel. The hotel looks like such a beautiful place to visit as a tourist. The outdoor pool is one I could see myself jumping into.
Here is another Blog from Turkey called Turkish Life Cafe. The Arslan family has been living in Turkey for ten years. The mother is interested in teaching her son Turkish and currently uses Dinolingo.com. Learning languages at a young age is so important. I plan on teaching my own son, Zulfiqar: Arabic, Urdu, Amharic, and of course English. Yum, there is even Turkish recipes including pogaca. and Chicken – Tavuk Yemekleri
