To Turkey,

I'm sitting here in my Istanbul dorm room with my bags packed and only one nights sleep left ahead of me before flying out of this city with a one-way ticket. I don't know how I will be able to explain the experience I have shared with Turkey to those who were not here to experience it with me. But what I do know is that during these last five months I have received so much knowledge, adventure, and love. Thank you to all my fellow Istanbulites, you will be deeply missed. Istanbul, until I see you again stay strong and fight the power! I'll be back.

Now off to Antalya and then Amsterdam for the week!
I'll be touching down in Washington D.C. on June 15th
