In 2020, we quit our 9–5 jobs to chase our dream of exploring the world, and we haven’t looked back since. We've now visited 47+ countries (and counting!) and share everything from real travel experiences and unique bucket list moments to honest budgets and behind-the-scenes adventures. Subscribe to follow our journey and get inspired to travel smarter and live a life you love. ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWzRbhclh3HeYPU3jkC_MWw?sub_confirmation=1 🍢☕ Get ready to dive into a **full plate of Turkish flavors** with us in Istanbul! From juicy döner kebab 🌯 and sizzling kokoreç 🥩 to rich Turkish coffee ☕ and sweet, creamy salep 🥛. We tried it ALL. And of course, we couldn’t miss out on raki, Turkey’s famous drink. 🥂 Every bite was a new surprise, from street food stalls to traditional cafés. This food tour gave us a taste of the heart and soul of Istanbul, and left us wanting seconds (and thirds). 🤤 Which of these Turkish specialties would you try first? Cheers, Alicia & Nate ✌️
