Vlog #528 Istanbul to Cappadocia, Turkey // In today’s huge travel vlog, we had to take 6 means of transportation, which ended up being 8… because we got on the wrong bus going to the wrong airport! It was a super long day, but we still had time to go in an airport lounge! AND it was all worth it to get there because Cappadocia and the cave we booked to live in were both awesome! Plus we filled you in on our Ramadan experience :)

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started “travel hacking” and taking more trips together and finally decided we wanted to travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and travel hacking over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016. We started this KZfaq channel to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling. So we extended our 1 year trip to THREE years :) Now we have a goal of traveling to 100 countries before Nate turns 30 (which is March 20, 2019)! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)

I loved Cappadocia. We went for a walk and happened upon this orange orchard. The orange farmer invited us into his little house (also carved out of that rock) and offered us tea and grapes. He didn’t speak much English so he called his cousin Mustafa to come over from the next town so he could talk to us. The farmer had a scrap book where travellers left notes thanking him for his hospitality. He even had an Australian rugby jumper someone had given him. It’s meeting friendly people like that and sharing those moments that makes travelling awesome.

Turkey is one of my fave places. We stayed at an amazing place called Esbeli Evi (a hotel using the caves there.) This was back in the 90s so it was super cheap. Nowadays it's like a 5-star joint and costs a bundle. But we drove to Cappadocia. Was a beautiful drive.

I know this video is 4 years old but I just wanted to comment two things. The second smaller airport you flew from in Istanbul is named after Sabiha Gokcen. She was the world's first female fighter pilot all the way back in the 1930s! Also Cappadocia is an amazing place. Photos and videos don't quite capture it, it just has a magical vibe that is so unique. You can tell why it was a sacred place for so many cultures.
