OUR FIRST TRADITIONAL TURKISH HAMAM (the full naked experience – with friends!) Van Life Turkey

I don’t even know where to begin! Adventures are always better with friends, and this week has been one of the most fun we’ve had on the road so far. After meeting up with our friends Philly and Keely, things got crazy. We never expected to watch each other get thrown, half naked, around a marble slab! 😂 Join us for a week of adventure on Turkey’s west coast, as we get up close and personal with some wild boar, and each other, in our first Turkish hammam experience.

We’re Chesca and Ben and River (🐶 ) and we usually live full-time in our self converted sprinter van, Sophia. After a year of travelling Europe, from Spain and Portugal to the island of Sicily, the pandemic brought us back home to the UK. Along with a secret project! We spent the winter re-building Sophia into a more sturdy overlanding rig, ready to take us across Africa – our next challenge. However, it’s a trip we’ve now had to postpone. But when the wind changes – adjust your sails! We’re now off on an Eastern voyage across to Greece, Turkey & beyond. I hope you enjoy this new adventure as we overland our way East.
