Our women’s adventure to Turkey was nothing short of unforgettable. From the moment we touched down in Istanbul, the city pulled us right in. Cruising along the Bosphorus felt surreal, drifting between Europe and Asia while palaces and mosques lined the shores. The Spice Bazaar was alive with color and fragrance, every corner offering something new to taste or admire. We spent hours exploring breathtaking mosques, and at the end of each day, we returned to our beautiful hotel to relax, laugh, and share stories late into the night.
Ankara was our next stop, and the energy there was undeniable. We wandered through the streets, took in the views, and visited Anıtkabir, the mausoleum of Atatürk. Standing in that space was powerful, a reminder of Türkiye’s modern history. Traveling with this group of amazing women made every moment feel even more special, because the joy of discovery was always shared.
Tuz Gölü, the Salt Lake, was one of those places that felt like stepping into a dream. The shallow water created a perfect mirror of the sky, and the salt crust crunched under our feet like snow. It was otherworldly, and we were so glad we made that stop.
Then came Cappadocia, and it kept surprising us at every turn. The fairy chimneys looked like nature’s own sculptures, shaped by centuries of wind and volcanic erosion. Riding camels across the valleys felt like traveling back in time, and the jeep safari gave us adrenaline and views for days as we bounced over rugged terrain and chased sunsets. At night, the moonlit valleys and ancient rock formations cast shadows that made the whole place feel mystical.
Another highlight of the trip was hot air ballooning. Floating high above the landscape as the sun rose was pure magic. The horizon stretched endlessly, and the peace of that moment made it feel timeless. It was a true bucket list experience and one of the memories that will stay with me forever.
Our journey also took us deep into history. In Ephesus, we walked along marble streets that once led to the Temple of Artemis and bustled with Roman commerce. Pergamon offered its hilltop acropolis, famed for its library and healing sanctuary. And Troy brought us face to face with legendary walls where myth and memory collide. Each site carried its own story, and together they formed a powerful narrative of empire and culture.
Bursa added yet another layer to our adventure, with its charm and history enriching the journey even further.
Looking back, this trip was about so much more than the places we visited. It was about the laughter, the deep conversations, the shared adventures, and the soul connections that only happen when incredible women come together. From the spice-scented bazaars of Istanbul to the surreal landscapes of Cappadocia, every moment felt like magic. But the greatest treasure was the sisterhood we built along the way—support, stories, and bonds that will stay with us forever.
And the best part is that the adventure isn’t over. Our next journey is already in the works. In September 2026, we’ll be heading to Morocco. I can already picture us wandering through the vibrant souks of Marrakech, where spices and textiles spill out in a kaleidoscope of color. We’ll ride camels across the golden dunes of the Sahara, watch the sun set over desert horizons, and share stories under star-filled skies. In Fes, we’ll lose ourselves in winding alleys filled with history, and in Chefchaouen, the famous blue city, we’ll soak in the charm of its painted streets. Just like Turkey, Morocco promises a blend of wonder, connection, and adventure—and we’ll be there together, ready to embrace it all.
If you’ve ever dreamed of exploring the world with a group of inspiring women, this is your chance. Morocco in September 2026 is waiting, and the memories we’ll make there will be just as unforgettable as the ones we brought home from Turkey.
