  • In this very first episode of Living the Jo Life, we traveled to Turkey’s biggest city, Istanbul in the low season and show you around the many exciting and fascinating sights. What was meant to be a 7-day trip ended up being 10 days. Watch our video to find out why.

    Airbnb 1: Zehra's Place was so cozy, spotlessly clean and located in a lovely street close to lots of cute boutiques and steps away from Istiklal Street. Zehra was such a great host! abnb.me/khlNQV...
    Airbnb 2: Meso's apartment was so cozy and beautiful. The decor was straight out of a home magazine. There is an amazing roof top terrace! The location is steps away from the Galata Tower. abnb.me/oiLC6y...

    • @rcs5573
      @rcs5573 Před 8 měsíci +1

      Finding a decent parking spot is very hard in İstanbul. Also traffic jam is a big thing here. Public transport is actually much more easier just gotta be carefull around 5pm-8pm since thats when most of people return to their homes from their jobs so it can be crowded.

    oh my god! do not tell me about Turkish airline's customer services. the worst. the culture of refund; just forget about it. they stole me when coming back from Canada, and they brutally damaged my suitcases. refused to report the damages and many other traumatic attitudes in regard to that incident. they are supported by the authority of the airport no matter what your stance is.

    Wonderful video! Thanks to the author of the channel for this fascinating video! It is interesting to see how people live in other countries! It is very important to know foreign languages on such trips. I would like to recommend to all travelers a practical guide to learning foreign languages by Yuriy Ivantsiv "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages". This book contains a lot of useful tips on how to learn a foreign language for tourists, students, entrepreneurs and anyone who needs a foreign language in life. There are a lot of good tips on how to solve problems with the language from beginner to advanced level of language learning. It turns out that the traveler only needs to know a few dialogues and you can easily travel around the world! You don't have to spend a lot of time to fully learn a foreign language, you just need to learn what you can use when you travel. I wish everyone exciting travels!
