Every city has a place that instantly reminds you where you are. In İzmir, it’s Konak Square and the Clock Tower. I spent some time walking around, taking photos, and enjoying the atmosphere before continuing my road trip. Sometimes those simple moments become the ones you remember most. 🇹🇷📸

I had to wake up ridiculously early for this, but it was worth every minute.

In Cappadocia, you can experience the balloons in two ways: by flying or simply watching them. This time I stayed on the ground, and honestly, I didn’t feel like I was missing out. Watching hundreds of balloons rise into the sky in the first light of the day felt almost like a dream.

Definitely one of the highlights of this road trip 🚗

Survived the Gaziantep heat for a day of history and shopping.

Started at the Zeugma Mosaic Museum, it's the biggest mosaic museum in the world, and home to the famous "Gypsy Girl" mosaic. The detail on these 2,000-year-old Roman pieces is unreal.

Then wandered through Bakircilar Çarşısı (the
Coppersmith Bazaar). Loved seeing the artisans working on traditional copper goods. A perfect (and very sweaty) day 🥵

Cloudy evening around the Asian side with the bike. Started from Üsküdar, ended up around Beykoz with Bosphorus views all the way.

Kız Kulesi looked good as always, bridges lighting up one by one, ferries moving through the dark. Istanbul traffic is still chaos but riding through the city at night somehow makes it enjoyable.

Evening walk on the Buda side 🇭🇺

I really like this city. Being here just feels different. It’s more chaotic than Tallinn, but somehow that’s part of the charm. I enjoy just walking around without a plan.

Budapest is one of those cities I know I’ll keep coming back to ❤️🤍💚

Started my road trip from Tallinn 🇪🇪 with no rush, just driving and seeing where the road takes me 🚗🛣️

Warsaw was one of the stops, and honestly, it was better than I expected. The weather was on my side, which already makes everything easier. Walked around the old town, got a bit lost there, but that’s kind of the point anyway.

Good food, and surprisingly affordable compared to Tallinn 🧐 not complaining about that. Sat down, ate well, took my time.

The drive itself was also part of the experience. Smooth roads, long stretches, just enjoying being behind the wheel.

Poland 🇵🇱 always feels easy to travel in. This wasn’t my first time in this country, and definitely not the last. Still a lot more cities I want to see.

Took these in Riga from one of the church towers (don’t even remember which one 😄).

Went up early in the morning and the view was actually worth it. The river, old houses, empty streets… everything looked calm before the city got busy.

Stayed there for a while, took some photos, enjoyed the moment even though it was extremely windy 💨

And yeah, there’s one photo of me at the end so you know I was actually there 😅
