A Taste of Turkey

  I ♡ ISTANBUL

It had been near three years since my last visit to Istanbul, so I was super excited to be going for two weeks at the beginning of this new year! Istanbul is one of my favourite cities in the world! It is the perfect combination of old and new - East meets West. The history of this enchanting city spans over thousands and thousands of years, in fact there are findings which date back to the 3rd millennium BC by the Golden Horn.

My first week was spent with my family, catching up with my aunt and uncle, looking after my little cousins and helping my grandmother with the cooking. I love spending time with my family and especially playing with my little cousins. They are just so cute!!! On my second week in Istanbul, I went around sight seeing and mainly just looking for places with good wholesome food :P

For those of you who haven't been to Istanbul or are going soon, I have compiled a list of places for you of my favourite places to eat  and visit in the first part of this blog! Be sure to check out these places when you go!

Next Stop... BERLIN

 I ♡ BERLIN

As an early graduation present my aunt and uncle sent me to Berlin for the weekend! I never thought I would love the city as much as I did. The people were so friendly, the general atmosphere of the city was so chilled. It was so relaxing. The food was amazing, I would definitely recommend going to CHA CHA near Checkpoint Charlie, Aapka between Berlin Mitte and Berlin Prenzlauer Berg and Kartoffelkeller (Potato Cellar) in Berlin-Mitte was so good and filling.  

A weekend in Berlin is definitely not enough. The architecture, the people, the food,the nightlife,  the street art and chilled atmosphere leaves you wanting more. 

p.s You can't go to Berlin and not have a good pint of beer and world famous Currywurst (available in pork, beef and chicken)
