Exploring the beautiful natural infinity pools at Pamukkale. We hopped on a train from Izmir to Denizli and then got a taxi to Pamukkale and stayed the night so we could be one of the first people into the natural museum in the morning. It was well worth it! Despite having absolutely freezing feet at the start. We also went in the Cleopatra pools which was an epic swimming experience. All in all, a great time in Pamukkale!

FAQ's
How do you afford to travel? - I now earn a full time living through creating these KZfaq videos, affiliate links, selling digital products and my clothing line. I used to simply just work any temporary job I could find to save up to travel! I budget the money I earn meticulously to reach my savings goals using www.backpackingbananas.com/product-page/life-budget-tracker-uk-self-assessment-version
Is travelling solo safe? - I would argue the answer is almost always yes! As long as you use your common sense and you follow your own government's guidelines about travelling in that country. I have made several videos on backpacking safety on my channel.
Do you have plans to settle down? Yes, I'm currently saving to purchase my first property in the UK and I'd love to have children one day. I doubt I'll ever live a completely 'conventional' lifestyle by society's standards though, as I often have my own preferred way of doing things.

What is in the bathroom is a “kurna” a wash basin. A Wash basin and a pitcher are the necessities for an old style Turkish bath.

I didn't think twice about removing flip flops in the height of summer when dying from the heat, and when I took a bunch of my students around Easter, it was relatively warm... but the idea of you being in a woolly hat and having to take your shoes off just seems madness! What you said about not being 'that kind of influencer' is probably why I continue to love watching your content. You keep it real which is how I like to travel. Couple of months ago, I went to Petra and planned to hike up to the monastery, so there I was in legging, hiking shoes and sports t-shirt. Arrive at the Treasury and there's a girl in a very pretty flowing white dress and cute sandals. A few photos later and the dress has come off to reveal cycling shorts and tank top... and trainers go on shortly afterwards. I personally just can't be bothered... I like that the photos I have from that day realistically show what's practical attire for hiking in Petra! 🤷‍♀ I feel like you may be a lot further ahead than this Vlog, but if on the off chance you're not... Fethiye has an awesome fish market and lots of restaurants allow you to show up with a fish of your choice from the market and you ask them to cook it. There's a lovely hike you can do from Oludeniz to Kayakoy which has a ruined old ghost town... and it's simple enough to catch a dolmus back. I'm enjoying living the nostalgia watching this series!

Thank you lovely 🥰🥰 yess I completely agree it’s nice to look back on photos of what you were actually wearing that day as opposed to an outfit you’ve just put on for a photo. Although the photo might be nice, it still seems a bit pointless 😅 Oludeniz is the next vlog! 🥳🥳

It looks so different now - very interesting! Makes me want to go back to Turkey, it’s such a beautiful country! Hope you keep enjoying it :)

Love seeing you explore Turkey! I had the chance to travel a lot to the south eastern part of the country for work and would love to recommend Van and Akdamar Island, the Muradiye waterfalls, the Mount Nemrut (looks like Lord of the Rings scenery!), the Temple of Gobeklitepe (11,000 BCE!), the Palace of Ishak Pasha built in a volcanic zone, the biblical Mount Ararat and even the ruins of Ani close to the Armenian border or the hidden, subterrenean churches of Mardin... these are not touristy and insiders tips might be useful though, but quite the gems. Enjoy your stay :)

Great video as always, a little advice from a fellow Brit. C in Turkish is used with a J sound so like Jacket. So the place you said is pronounced Gonjali (Goncali) ç in Turkish is like ch in English so like Chair and similar with ş, it’s Sh sound like Share, hope that helps 😉 Thanks for the videos 🙏🏻

@astragalusson 2 жыл бұрын

I'm from the city Pamukkale is located. The site is a natural wonder and the white look is what makes it special. The white look comes from the minerals in the natural water. The minerals cover the mountains and pools as the water passes by. If thousands of people walk over with shoes daily, it gets dirty and ruins the look. It was allowed to walk with shoes in 1980s-90s and parts of it started to get a dirty yellow, gray and even black at some parts, not only due to the shoes but it definitely had an effect. So, they decided to keep it clean and banned the shoes. I'm even surprised they allowed socks :)

Interesting video, stunning place. Just curious at how you gather your entourage of boy band members 😂. Each Turkish vlog there's a new and growing number of guys in the background following you around. There's no explanation on how you joined up together, pretty random. It's as important to say how you met as it is to give details of accommodation, food and public transport. As after all I thought it was a "solo" backpacking trip. Hope the comment is not seen as a criticism, hopefully just a tip. Otherwise great stuff.

I can’t guarantee I’ll repeat these kind of details in every vlog but I will take your criticism as constructive 😉 and I’ll try and remember to include these kind of details in more of the vlogs in case people don’t watch every episode
