We are finally in Turkey! We leave Greece by ferry from Piraeus (Athens) and travel to Chios, Greece to follow up with a ferry to Çeşme, Turkey.
We are so excited to see Turkey and the first thing we do is live with a local family in Bergama, Turkey. We had an incredible experience learning about the culture, the food, raki and about Turkish village life.

Totally agree with everything. It is a great country. We wanted that documentary on the cats (I forget the name) so cool. Thanks for watching and commenting. Big hugs.
I love Turkey and cats !! Look out for the film KEDI .
Great people , such a nice family. You guys are very welcome to Turkey.
Thank you. We will be back!!!
I'm from Turkey and as a Turkish I am saying that Turkish people will welcome all tourists so well and they will not do racism against anyone. We're always hospitable, don't believe in damned medias. You will feel safe in my country. Look ! I am saying it as a Turkish and objective person.
I agree with all of what you said. Welcoming, kind, not racist, full of life and love. Oh, we never even watch TV or believe media, we go to a place and decide for ourselves. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and welcoming us to your country.
Turkish people are the friendliest peoples ive found i love turkey im from scotland hope we can chat sometime pls take care
It’s totally agree! I have a new family there. I fall in love with Turkey again and again.
@@ianinnes8063 Thank you indeed that you're an outspoken person.. I love Scotland, you have wonderful nature ; clean and relaxing air. How do we can talk ? I have Facebook and WhatsApp.. I can introduce our culture in detail and you can introduce your culture
@@putriprincess96 Wow, that's great. I'm glad that you enjoyed in my country. Why the people fall in love with Turkey because we're so friendly, hospitable, our people are funny and joker also Turkey has unique and interesting places to wander
Another great video, WoW what a wonderful hosting family, it just proves that there are still wonderful people in the world 🌎
There are so many out in the world, we just have to seek them out and step out of our comfort zone. So worth it, glad you enjoyed the vlog Paul.
I loved this so much! I’ve wanted to go to Turkey since I was a child, but I just haven’t done it. It’s like I’m saving my fantasy. I’ve been to other countries, but soon.
Interesting perspective. I am intrigued. Yes, go, it is so amazing, thus far.
Jessica Sueiro luckily, I’ve met many Turkish people at home. Their hospitality is very warm and generous, no matter which ethnic group they come from.
Totally agree!!!
Turkish hospitality is always talked about, and bragged about. But now that you guys have shown it pure and simply let us witness the whole thing, it cannot go wrong..!
Europe? Asia? Who cares? Lets have some Turkish moments to share...
We loved Turkey so much and this particular time was extra special.
best country/people ever.
Instablaster
No better way to experience a culture than mingle with the locals. BTW, I love Turkish coffee and apple tea 😋. Enjoying your vlogs & can't wait for the next one!!!
Locals rock!!! Just can't get enough. Love the apple tea also, not a coffee drinker, but it is growing on Will even with the grit! Thanks so much for watching our vlogs. We are excited to share more of Turkey as well.
Of course! People are generous of spirit. It's an honour to be invited into a family's home throughout the world. You show great respect xxxx
It is truly such an honor and always humbling. Thanks for your kind words Angela.
What a magnificent experience. Yes we would definitely meet up with families in different lands❤️❤️❤️ Especially one as lovely as this!
Thanks Amanda! It is so fun to meet other travel families!
as an Algerian i can say that turkey is the symbol of the honour of Muslims nowadays
We have loved the people of Turkey thus far, so kind and welcoming!
Take life easy - then everything more or less works out. Enjoyed
this - lots of fun. Thanks.
Exactly! So glad you enjoyed it. It was a lot of fun to make.
I love this video. Someone should make a movie of your world towning life. Speaking of Turkish coffee, the first time I got introduced to it, I wondered why the cups were so small. Once I drank it, it felt as if the strong coffee traveled through my nostrils and up to my brain. I'm still willing to drink it, but the next time would be with caution and in little sips rather than one big gulp.
Awh, that is so nice. We would love to share this lifestyle with the world.
perfect family. friendly, respectful, good manners. people like you are entertained as usual in turkey kings. you always have friends here. Thank you for your visit. Always welcome.
Thank you. We so loved our time in Turkey.
Welcome to my Country. Thank you for visiting us :)
We are so loving your country and we have only just begun. Recommendations welcome!
kardeşim seni çok sık görüyorum, türkiye gezen yabancı insanların kanallarında, benim gibi sen de takip ediyorsun :)
Thanks for sharing this amazing experience!
You are welcome. They were such an amazing family.
Another great video guys 😊 After 2 weeks binge-watching all 271 episodes, I'm finally up to speed on your journey.
Alan you get the "binge-watching" award as far as we know. That is a lot of binging. Thanks. Glad you are at present day with us.
You guys are AMAZING and I love your family!!! Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us, it is completely inspirational!! ❤❤❤ Love, light, and blessings to you.
Thanks Indigo! What a sweet and thoughtful comment. So glad you are part of our community. So much more fun to come.
i just found you guys and oh my god i love your positivity so much x_x especially that you are now in my country makes it 10 times better hope you enjoy it o_o
So glad you found us! We are loving your country! We have only just begun exploring. More to come!
Thoroughly enjoyed this - extremely interesting. Thanks.
Thank you 1 23. The kindness extended to strangers is mind boggling to me sometimes and makes my heart sing.
Welcome to Turkeyy❤
Thank you. So far we love your country and it's people.
Awesome👍🇮🇩
Wow that was awesome!! Have fun! Looking forward to ur next vlog!
Thanks Madeline! It was such an amazing experience on our end as well and we have so much more footage on this.
World Towning I can’t wait!! Hugs!!
Love this one and I must say I love the music that you use.
Thanks!!!! These global interactions are some of the most powerful moments and the work we are most proud of on this channel. Making the world smaller and showing the kindness, one vlog at a time. I will share your compliment with Will, I agree he is a music master.
We love you guys.
You showed my home city .
Thanks
So glad you enjoyed it! Turkey was fabulous!
Happy to see this video following from japan 🇯🇵
Commented on your morocco announcement video and here I am again :) I’ve never been Turkey but it’s on my boyfriend’s wish list so I’ll be introducing him to your vlogs, for sure. I’ve heard Turkish people are lovely.
I love your vlogging style. You guys are so happy and motivating. It’s great to see how open-minded you are about different cultures and ways of living. Genuinely wish you guys the best of travels. Look forward to seeing more 😊
BTW, I probably wouldn’t be able to join the morocco group trip even if I am out there often - as my boyfriend lives there. But if you guys are ever out there, then I’m certain he’d 100% make you the best tagine you’ve ever tasted.
(He’s an incredible chef 😉)
Hello s q! Turkish people are amazing!!! Yes, definitely come here! Thanks for being part of our community! And thanks for your compliments, they are so sweet. We love traveling and meeting new people!!! Best decision ever. Yum and thanks for the offer. We love tagine sooooo much. I am dreaming about it.
This was so cool! What a great "servas" lol. They seem like such kind and open people 😊
Amazing people! We so enjoyed our time with them. We could have stayed a week! So glad you enjoyed it.
Great Vid Guys... Thanks for sharing.... You're doing right*
Thanks Ade. We are definitely doing right by what our family needs this far into a WorldTowning life.
Guys.. You are living my dream.. 😊
Thanks for all of your vids.. I enjoy it every single moment you share on vid..
Thank you Metsy! Welcome to our community. So happy you are enjoying our vlogs. Can't wait to chat with you more.
@@WorldTowning come to Bali Indonesia.. You will enjoy it.. 😊
Hi guys 👋 great beginning. Meeting locals is the only way to travel! In Istanbul go to one of the ancient Turkish baths...what an experience! See if you can find “kymak” in the spice market...I thought it was a dessert...lol 🙃
Hi Mishu! We will definitely be digging into some Turkish baths, ancient and for a clean up. Kymak, ok, in the list. Thanks.
Wow you guys are in cesme. Yeah 👍
We were, now we are a bit further east. Loving this country.
OMG! You guys are in my country! Well I was born and raised in the Netherlands but my parents are from Turkey. You will love it there! I have seen most parts of Turkey and the parts I didn't see, I Am planning to see when I get retired 😂 Because of you guys we went to Marrakech on the Christmas holiday and we loved it! We only stayed there for 5 days and that was not enough! I will check the link for Marocco maybe we will explore together. (Getting exited 😂) You are going to Izmir, when your there eat Kumru. In Konya eat "Kuyu kebabi" and of course "Etli ekmek and Mevlana" and drink "Ayran" it's yogurt mixed with water and salt. If you cross by Kayseri; eat "Manti" in Ankara visit: "Ataturk" you must go to North Turkey/Karadeniz it's beautiful there lost of green and eat "Kuymak" the teagardens are there. So the Turkish tea comes of that area. Visit Kapadokya and drink local wine. The heaven of food in Turkey is Adana, Gazi Antep and Urfa, be careful do it is spice but yum yum. Antalya, meet history and eat "Gozleme" Go to Bursa and eat: Iskender kebab and you must do the Turkish bath there it is amazing! And of course Istanbul eat: "balik ekmek" (fish with bread) from the boats on Eminonu and enjoy the History. Turkey is rich for his History and food every parts of Turkey has his own music, dans, dialect and food. Enjoy every second of your journey, watch out do not everywhere is safe. But I think that's counts where ever you go in the world. Anyways if you want to know what to eat for dessert let me know haha. Ow before I forget, the thing what your hosted said about the coffee. He ment you are going to be friends for 40 years, because in the back days coffee was and still is expensive; so if you get offered coffee it means your special otherwise you will get just tea haha You will get your coffe with a glass of water. When you drink the water first it means you are hungry and if you drink first of your coffee it means you are full and not hungry haha what a ritual ha! Ow when they say, if they offers you something to eat and you say no, they get insulted. But if you don't trust it don't eat it, it's that simple! Love you guys!!!! Have fun!!! 💋💋💋💋
Oh wow! So cool! So happy you loved Marrakech, amazing right? Come join us for more of Morocco, we would love it! We are past Izmir already, darn. We are in Konya! Yeah! Ayran was not my favorite, but have loved everything else so far. THANKS SO MUCH for all the amazing advice. I am copying it into my phone notes now. Big kiss. I hope we do your country justice. So far it is amazing. Big kisses.
What an amazing experience. Yes I would choose to stay with a family every time. It was the experience of visiting a friend rather than being a tourist.
Exactly! It is such a different travel experience, one that we much prefer.
I am so glad that you feel so happy. Any visitors are always very precious for us. They can come from Greece, Armenia, Israel or europe. Not important. 🙋🏻♂️
We love Turkey, the people, the food, the culture. All of it! Thanks for the warm welcome.
YES!!!:)
Best thing ever. So nice to share cultural experiences with locals.
I’m obsessed with the mom’s hair lol ❤️
Awh, thanks so much. It just grows this way, wink.
i would love to do a culture exchange looks so fun and interesting. Also I love this channel you all are so kind and open-hearted and your videos make me really happy!!!! Btw I'm Moroccan living in the UK studying medicine and so your Moroccan videos are my absolute favourite!!!!!
Thank you for your kind compliments. The cultural exchange is the best, try it sometime. Oh, hello Moroccan, gosh we love your country and people. I can't wait until our group trip in December. Happy studying.
TOTALLY I WOULD DO IT... as I mentioned before, I have done biking trips with a company called VBT (Vermont Biking Tours) and they always include interaction with the locals some how or another... For example, when we were in Croatia, we had dinner with a local family....loved it so much...
Love the biking trips gig! Cool! It is the BEST to engage with locals. I think if I was told we could not have local interaction anymore while traveling I might just stop traveling.
its weird that you transpassed Çeşme and Alaçatı . beautiful beaces , windsurfing and nice architecture streets of Alaçatı. next time you must.
Yes! Yes!Yes! This is why I stay with Airbnb hosts. I have had so many amazing experiences this way, mostly as a solo Traveller. Obviously you check the reviews VERY carefully first.
Helen airbnb is great for that! We love them too. We check reviews on everything! Ha. Thanks for sharing.
Just love your hair.....
Thanks, it just grows this way. Ha! Pretty easy to maintain luckily.
The Premiere went so fast, it was great to be able to ask questions-:). Is there a place to send questions to your family directly on-line?? Thank you in advance. So looking forward to your Turkey series-:)
Hello! Yes, you can email us at jessica@worldtowning.com or on any of our social media platforms. Glad you are excited about our Turkey series, so are we.
Hi guys;
It's interesting to hear your discussion with the turkish guy about sharing coffee.
In Morocco it doesn't work that way when sharing tea or coffee !! However when you share milk, bread or couscous , you would be brothers and sisters for life ( theoretically).
On the other hand, moroccans use to say :" those who don't drink wine of this world, they will drink wine of the next world" ; So it's up to you to make your choice, but I have no idea what kind of wine you will find there. 💥🤣💥
Take care.
Interesting, thanks for sharing that. I love it! So nice to learn how people have this beautiful rituals with such powerful meanings.
About coffee,if you drink turkish coffee that is prepared by someone for you,it bonds you with he/she by memorie of it( it is charished)
@@hadihayalkuralim1828 this is so cool! I love it.
İf it is a family, it is a big Yes 😊
I agree, the more the merrier.
Arrrrggh!!!!, don't know what happened to my first long comment,so quickly another beautiful video,definitely i would stay with a host family...what a wonderful way to find out and immerse yourselves into Turkish life style, i went to Turkey and i loved it...the food, the music...the belly dancing...the baths etc, i am sure you all will love it, one thing i love coffee but no offense to anyone i could not drink Turkish coffee...way to strong,thick and gritty,but hey one small thing when in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter, enough raving i love you all, keep safe and have a wonderful time..which i know you will.xxx
So nice to hear you loved Turkey as well. It is so amazing. I don't love the coffee, but I am not really a coffee drinking. Will is getting used to it, but not his favorite to be honest. Thanks for sharing Alan.
Belly dancing is not turkish
Yes I would 😊 And I would love to visit a hostfamily too
You are a travel spirit! Do it, it was so fabulous!
Welcome
As a turk I'm so glad to welcome you in my country. But I think it would be better if you share your route and schedule of your tour for the ones who wants to take you as guests or may be to recomend places to see. Even I don't know all the places. Best tips are given by the locals.
Thank you for the warm welcome. We share it on Instagram, but it is hard to share on YT as our vlogs are usually about a week behind. Hopefully people will go over to Instagram and connect. I agree, locals are the best and so cool and open to meet up.
Nice Video and I am Happy that you have find this nice Turkish Family and hope for more experience and to meet nice People ;)
maybe you drive to the ycian Site of Turkey beginning from Bodrum,Marmaris,Göcek,Fethiye,Patara,Kas,Kalkan and than to Myra ( st. nicolaus tomb & church) and than to Kemer ... but its interesting that you dont stay in Cesme & Alacati its also a nice Town with beautifull beaches...
Greetings from Germany
We are so lucky to get to meet cool locals as we travel. Thanks for the suggestions. We only have a month to see Turkey so we are doing our best to see a variety of areas. But, we don't have time to go too far south. Also, we stay in one place and work/school during the week so that only leaves us the weekends to adventure. I guess this just means we need another visit. Ha.
@@WorldTowning I understand , so you stay than in Izmir in my Homecity ;) ...there is a lot to see to from there ... have a nice time and when you need some Information than we can help
Yes we did it....
Cool, right? You miss out on so much just seeing the sights.Good job, you are a true WorldTowner.
u are Wellcome
Welcome to our community!!!1

I love watching you guys!!! I enjoy looking at the different countries I have found out I am of Amazigh Blood which is Morrocan Tunisia. And Algeria area. I am going to checck out your tour of Morroco!!!
Jersey Stotler thank you so much!!! Wow, that is so cool, your heritage. We would love to have you. If you have any questions let us know.
Jersey Stotler link in description with all the details!
Hello again. I went back threw you videos and see that Will is from Miami. My family is from there too. We are international family. Cuba,,Nicaragua, Brazil, Okinawa Barbados May I ask what country is Wills family of origin? I know some Spanish from my family. I am learning Arabic now for about a year. Thank you!!
Wow, very cool, love all that family diversity. Will is Cuban, 100%, but born in Miami. Good luck with the Arabic, it seems hard.
Please share more than more drone videos so we can see more .
Don't encourage Will. Wink!
How do you handle visas when they require a move forward ticket?
We have French visas for now which need to be renewed annually.
Our village people are better than city people.
Ha! I love it. 🤣
please make a video titled "Is Turkey safe to visit?"
We plan to once we are done our time here. So many people think it is dangerous and boy are they missing out.
Aloha ! I just found your channel. What an incredible family of enlightened souls you are ! You may have seen this show on Netflix "The Gift", about Gobeklitepe. Check it out if you haven't already. Keep traveling ! Thank you for sharing your lives.
GO TO IRAAAN!!
We want to sooooo bad, the problem is that we need to be in Estonia by the end of May.
Will, It s one year since you had been in Morocco, is that why you are wearing that Moroccan top? lol
He wears it when it is cold. He loves that jacket so much.
Guys, I love your videos. But I have to say you're all looking a bit weary........maybe go a bit stationary for a bit and settle somewhere for a month or two and recuperate!
Ha, love it. Yes, we are working, schooling and adventuring hardcore. We might be looking a bit weathered, I agree. We have slotted a vacation this year where we will just chill on a beach. Maybe we need it sooner than later. Thanks for looking out for us. RVing is not the best place to get a good nights sleep.
PLEASE COME VISIT US ARVANITE. WE ARE THE NATIVES of GRAECIA/Greece, you will learn some amazing stories. We call it SIPHNIAN.
You know, all that area PERIAS. WAS And still IS, SHQIPERIAN lands!! they speak at homes Albanian, well some of them, It still has the name ShqiPeria. All the way to Atena/Athena. Before Population trade with turkay we never heard this language so called" Greek" today. Was all ARVANITE. and when you go to turkay side, visit Albanian graves who fought Anatolian greeks, the white HEAT'S. amazing stories.
Thanks for the history lesson. Will check it out.
it's not Ezam. it's Athehan 😉
I dont think Greece looks any different than Turkey and most imposrtantly I disagree that Turkey and Morocco look similar. I have been to 3 of them
Interesting, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Now after spending more time in Turkey we see that it is vastly different than Morocco, but this vlog was our first in Turkey so we had not seen much yet.
I love your videos but this is not like living like a Turkish local this is mostly like living like a Turkish villager.
Ha! You may be right, but it was certainly a great experience.
Am I the crazy cat? A little promotion for www.servas.org! I am humbled that I might have been the crazy cat and so excited that you had a great experience!
You might be. I just can't remember who recommended them. I think the person sent me an email maybe. Anyway, if it was you, thank you.
Normally men dont cook? Most of the time the reason men dont cook is because men is so messy women dont let them cook not to find kitchen as there was a storm in it.
Ha, funny. I thought it was so cool that they cooked and they were both really good at it. Yummy.
Lol...😂😂
kardes gomme simdi bizi yabancilarin yaninda mutfagi temiz birakanda var :)
can you comb your hair? 🤭sorry
Who? Will or Jessica? Living in a motorhome is a bit of a different life.
Tu femeie nu vezi în ce hal arăți ?
Frumos. Puternic. Fericit!!!
In Izmir I heard you ask for something you knew they wouldn't have..to make them feel inadequate? Why do you allow your children to publicly mock a national traditional food . Do you not see and hear how obnoxious you all are? Look at the way people are reacting. Their body tenses, they frown . Lucky for you to be among well mannered patient kind and classy people . You are tolerated.
Carmen Peters what are you referring to?
Living like a local in Turkey ..
With pink hair. 🙄
