Thank you to SafetyWing for making this video possible! https://bit.ly/safetywingist
Well done, excellent tour of Istanbul especially jet-lagged! Love that city! Thank you ๐
Hi and happy birthday ๐ ๐
Iโm going to celebrate my birthday next week in Istanbul toooo ๐๐
But I canโt find instagrampage of those who had boat tour to prince island.. ๐ข
@istanbulexperiences donโt exist ๐
17:40 Happy Birthday Kristin ๐
In Istanbul is much better to use Public Transport , its faster and clean and social ๐ Cabs can be expensive and you need much more time ))
I would recommend travelling in and out of Istanbul morning/mid-day on Sunday… with Sunday prayers and Sunday family breakfasts; the usually horrible traffic is actually bearable… Happy Birthday albeit belated…
Happy birthday! So it seems like getting an Uber or taxi could be a bit of an issue.
How much is that hotel room per night?
What?! Lol I just got my flight from the Mid-US to Istanbul for 400 US dollars. One way. I can't imagine paying over 1000 US dollars to upgrade a seat. Also, you're going to pay a lot more for hotel if you stay in corporate hotels like holiday inn etc. I booked a bed in 3 different hostels across the city, one night each and I still didn't break 100 dollars. My cheapest booking: 17 US dollars. Why stay in something that like looks like you never left home? Part of the journey is experiencing new things. Thanks for sharing regardless. Salam.
Istanbul is one of those places (like the Bermuda Triangle, often read about, colourful, mysterious, maybe safety issues! You packed so much in – and the hotel! Luxurious!
Kristen what do you use for filming. (I think the quality is first class!). Take care. Super video๐
wow everything is so beautiful. We wish to be able going there next summer ๐
Happy belated birthday ! Thank you so much for showing us Istanbul. From Pakistan
@ 15:20 did she say, "have some sex and drinks??"
Great video, Kristin! Love that Persian music. Edited like a pro. Sad you didn't get your birthday dinner.
Happy belated Other ฯ Day! Sweet Suite. Unless you had another suitcase elsewhere, it looks like you are traveling much lighter than in previous videos. Good for you! ๐๐ผ
Itโs too bad the ottomans defaced and defiled the original interior and exterior of the ฮฮณฮฏฮฑ ฮฃฮฟฯฮฏฮฑ Orthodox Church. Constantinople really is beautiful! I canโt wait to visit Greece!
๐ฎ How to Hire This DJ I'm interested. That black shirt is very nice ๐ btw.
Nice
I'm in Istanbul right now, just arrived a week ago. (I'll be here for two or three months.) I like it. It's such a unique culture, this interesting blend of calm and passion. And, of course, it's such a historical city too.
good content, but it might be time to upgrade your camera… at least a new gopro 11 with horizon lock.
You have a mellow way of presenting. Dolphins make any trip or day. For one of my jobs in CA, the commute was along the coast and once in a while I saw two dolphins making their way along the shore.
