Best Friends

A lot of people's first question when I tell them I am going to Turkiye in the summer, especially when they find out I go alone as opposed to traveling with my husband who has to work, am I from there?  do I know anyone there?  I do have some friends that I have made along the way. I personally have found Turkiye to be fairly friendly.  I do have one friend that i met stateside when I was in college, so we were friends a very long time before I went to see her the first time I went to Turkiye.

My first couple of times I stayed with her in her home.  I mean, you can only invite yourself so many times to stay with someone, esp if you want to be there for two months.  Now I use AirBNB, I have been staying with the same lady that last several summers.  We are good friends at this point.  But I absolutely pay her.  She's super for the price!  if you need a place to stay, lmk I will pass on her info.  Unless you are going in summer, 'cuz i'm there, lol.

 we are hoping to travel together this summer as well. I am hoping to see Bursa and the surrounding area which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with her.
