In this very first episode of Living the Jo Life, we traveled to Turkey’s biggest city, Istanbul in the low season and show you around the many exciting and fascinating sights. What was meant to be a 7-day trip ended up being 10 days. Watch our video to find out why.

Airbnb 1: Zehra's Place was so cozy, spotlessly clean and located in a lovely street close to lots of cute boutiques and steps away from Istiklal Street. Zehra was such a great host! abnb.me/khlNQV...
Airbnb 2: Meso's apartment was so cozy and beautiful. The decor was straight out of a home magazine. There is an amazing roof top terrace! The location is steps away from the Galata Tower. abnb.me/oiLC6y...

Thanks for the video. One question , was renting a car worth it? Cause I want to rent a car but a lot of people warned me that it’s best to use public transport in Istanbul instead of driving. Any thoughts ?

@rcs5573 8 ай бұрын

Finding a decent parking spot is very hard in İstanbul. Also traffic jam is a big thing here. Public transport is actually much more easier just gotta be carefull around 5pm-8pm since thats when most of people return to their homes from their jobs so it can be crowded.

oh my god! do not tell me about Turkish airline's customer services. the worst. the culture of refund; just forget about it. they stole me when coming back from Canada, and they brutally damaged my suitcases. refused to report the damages and many other traumatic attitudes in regard to that incident. they are supported by the authority of the airport no matter what your stance is.

Hi, on which device you record all of your videos?

@livingthejolife Жыл бұрын

Hello! We video using our Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra phones. Amazing what these phones can do! To get better sound especially in noisy or windy areas we use the DJI external mic. Thanks for watching 😊

@@livingthejolife Mind blowing quality man, do you also use color grading in post production? By the ways great videos too, really love all of them, keep it up!

@livingthejolife Жыл бұрын

@@AdamHaider The only thing we have struggled with is sometimes the quality is not as good in indoor low light conditions. We do some basic corrections. Up the shadows, little contrast, drop the blacks, adjust the highlights and add about 10% saturation. Happy you enjoy our content 😊 Thanks for watching 🙏

@AdamHaider Жыл бұрын

@@livingthejolife Yes i liked your videos, and you know what, i'm an iPhone lover and user but after hearing you do videos on s22 ultra, it could make me switch to s22 now.

@livingthejolife Жыл бұрын

@@AdamHaider We did a lot of research and it was a hard decision. Video quality is much the same. The thing that swayed us was the external storage options with Samsung and the sound quality. iPhones are terrible in windy conditions. Samsung handle outdoor conditions really well. Good luck with you purchase. Let's know how you go.

Wonderful video! Thanks to the author of the channel for this fascinating video! It is interesting to see how people live in other countries! It is very important to know foreign languages on such trips. I would like to recommend to all travelers a practical guide to learning foreign languages by Yuriy Ivantsiv "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages". This book contains a lot of useful tips on how to learn a foreign language for tourists, students, entrepreneurs and anyone who needs a foreign language in life. There are a lot of good tips on how to solve problems with the language from beginner to advanced level of language learning. It turns out that the traveler only needs to know a few dialogues and you can easily travel around the world! You don't have to spend a lot of time to fully learn a foreign language, you just need to learn what you can use when you travel. I wish everyone exciting travels!
