Have you tried these Turkish Delights! ⬇️

Having been influenced by various cultures throughout history, Turkish cuisine is rich and diverse.

And no visit to Istanbul (or anywhere for that matter) would be complete without indulging in the local delicacies.

Below we have put together a list of local food you must try out:

🥘 Casserole: a rich flavourful concoction of meat, seafood or vegetables topped with melty cheese.

🍢 Kebabs: a quintessential part of Turkish cuisine, from tender skewers of shish kebabs to flavorful doner kebabs.

🍱 Mezze: Multiple appetizers such as hummus, baba ghanoush, dolmas and muhammara (a red pepper dip which was our personal favourite!).

🍳 Menemen: eggs scrambled with tomatoes, peppers and Turkish spices. We had this almost every day for breakfast as we loved it!

🍞 Pide: a type of pita bread that is used for wrapping kebabs, dipping into sauces, or enjoying with mezzes.

🍬 Desserts: Must-tries include baklava (layered pastry with nuts and honey), Turkish delight and sutlac (rice pudding).

🫖Turkish Tea: Available in a variety of flavours and served in cute glasses.

☕️ Turkish Coffee: Famous for its strong flavor!

🥛Aryan Yoghurt Drink: Loved by the Turkish as it provides instant relief from the heat.

🍨Dondurma: Turkish gum ice-cream which is thick and stretchy. Buy it from an ice-cream vendor that puts on a playful show!

🥯 Simit (pictured): A popular circular bread with sesame seeds. Ask for Nutella inside!

COMMENT BELOW: Have you tried any of these foods??

Your packing guide for Istanbul🧳👗

Istanbul has many customs and traditions that you should be aware of when planning a trip.

1. Modest Attire 👚👕

As a tourist, all types of clothing is allowable, however, it is advisable to respect the local customs & religion by packing modest clothing.

2. Clothing for Mosques 🧕

Women must cover their hair, chest, shoulders, and legs and should aviod anything skin-tight. Men must cover their legs.

Most mosques offer wraps and scarves at the entrance for free, but some charged for these, so we recommend packing appropriate clothing like a long dress, trousers (not leggings) and scarves for visiting the mosques.

3. Socks 🧦

Shoes must be taken off before entering the mosques. Make sure to be wearing socks or bring socks with you to avoid having to walk barefoot.

Now you know what to pack in order to aviod being turned away at some of the attractions...

Istanbul’s Ultimate Transport Guide! 🗺️

During our trip to Istanbul we made an effort to utilise the fantastic public transport options to explore the city.

Armed with that knowledge, we have laid out the best modes of public transport to make the most of your trip… plus detailed a purchase that saved us so much time & money.

Lets begin…

Taxi 🚕: Zip through the city hassle-free with Uber. You can wave a local taxi down but they may try to overcharge you. Best to use in the morning with less traffic but once midday arrives it becomes a slower option.

Bus 🚌: Istanbul has well-connected bus network making it a great way to explore neighborhoods, historical sites, and even the outskirts of the city. Prices start at around 3.50 TL.

Tram🚊: Well connected through the heart of Istanbul, passing by landmarks like Sultanahmet Square, Galata tower and the Grand Bazaar. It even takes you to outskirt towns like Balat. Tram tickets cost approximately 2.60 TL.

Ferry 🚢: Taking a boat down the Bosphorus is a must so why not kill 2 birds and use the public ferry to explore the city. We use the ferry to avoid mid day traffic and visit the river front mosque & palaces. Fares start at around 3.50 TL for short rides, with longer trips like the Princes' Islands costing up to 10 TL.

Airport Connection 🛫: Istanbul's trains and buses offer transfers to Istanbul International Airport but we ordered an Uber for a simpler life and door to door service. Be warned though, Uber is frowned upon at the airport, so be quick when they arrive.

Now here is the secret to saving money and time…

Red Istanbulkart 🎟: This rechargeable card grants you access to all public transportation, including buses, trams, trains, and ferries. Simply buy & top up with credit at any of the transport stops, and enjoy discounted fares on each journey.

What is your favourite mode of transport to explore a city??

As we wandered through the vibrant streets of Istanbul, soaking up its rich history and diverse cultures…

we were reminded that understanding & accepting our differences allows us to flourish and evolve

Just like Istanbul, our journey as a couple has been a fusion of unique stories, blending our differences and celebrating the strength that comes from embracing change together ❤️

It's these shared adventures that shape & strengthen us as individuals, while opening our minds to new perspectives and the wonders of the world.

LEAKED cover for our next album!

Uxmal is such an incredible sight to see with intricate cravings & huge structures.

The architecture at these ruins was too striking not to shoot a cover album photo 📸

How did we do❓️❓️

Beauty can be found around every corner... you just need to stop and smell the flowers 💐

On our quest around Lisbon seeking all the sights, we stumbled across this beautiful doorway down a random street 🙌

It was a great place to take a second and refect on the incredible trip 🛫

We can often be so busy moving to the next location/stage in life... that it's easy to forget to enjoy the present 🎁

Don't let life pass by without smelling the flowers flowers 🌺

Feeling BLESSED to get to explore the 🌎 with YOU!

Let me introduce VALLADOLID ⛪️

Cancun and Tulum are the popular/tourist destinations in Mexico but Valladolid remains a hidden gem. The historic city is well worth visiting if you're looking to experience authentic Mexico.

If you plan to visit the Mayan pyramids of Chichen Itza then stay in Valladolid which is only 30 mins away.

Not to mention the other incredible activities nearby including...

👉Cenotes Suytun
👉Cenote Chukum
👉Native Park Yucatan
👉Cenote Zaci
👉Templo de San Servacio
👉Convento de San Bernardino de Siena

This charming city has it all & we recommend you add 2-3 days here to your itenary 🛫

Are you interested in our 2.5 week Mexico itinerary??

In harmony with nature 🌿

Soaking up the beauty and light of Tulum's iconic Ven a la Luz sculpture.

It is the work of artist Daniel Popper who built the sculpture to represent the harmony between people and nature. The name translates to "come to the light" and I certainly felt it.

If you have spent any time on Instagram over the past 5 years, you would have seen this sculpture many times!

But Daniel Popper actually has several around the world, some permanent and and others temporary.

Permanent structures:

🇺🇲 Tendai - Las Vegas
🇺🇲 Transmission - Joshua Tree
🇭🇷 Modem Swamp - Croatia
🇺🇲 Thrive - Florida
🇿🇦 Tree of Wisdom - South Africa

We are certainly going to be looking out for more of them on our travels ✈️

Tips for travel couples - Read the caption 📚

Travelling as a couple (or with anyone) can be an amazing & bonding experience, but it can also be challenging.

Here are some tips to make sure you still like each other at the end of the trip.

1️⃣ Good communication: The key to any relationship, and this is especially true when travelling. Be open about your hopes & concerns, before and during the trip.

2️⃣ Compromise: You may have different ideas about the itinerary for your trip. Be prepared to compromise but also find activities that you both enjoy.

3️⃣ Plan together: Involve the other person in the planning process, and make sure to consider each other's priorities when making decisions.

4️⃣ Alone time: Don't be afraid to take some time apart if needed, and be patient and understanding if your partner needs some alone time.

5️⃣ Budget wisely: Money can be a source of tension for many couples, so make sure to discuss your budget and spending habits before your trip.

And here is an extra super important tip for you...

6️⃣ Snacks: Can't tell you how many times the tension has been defused by a bag of Takis or biscuits. Always leave well stocked.

Remember, the goal of travelling with someone is to create wonderful memories together.

📸 Behind the Scenes: Two Sight Seekers Photoshoots! 🌟✨ We're all about inspiring you to explore the world and create incredible travel memories. Many of you have asked us how we take our photos and feel comfortable in front of the camera 📷 Well, truth be told, we're still figuring it out ourselves! It's a journey of trial and error, a lot of time, and seizing the right opportunities. And hey, for every amazing shot, there are hundreds where Aarushi's eyes are closed (oops! 😅). But if you're struggling with capturing your travel memories, here are a few tips from us: 1️⃣ Embrace Imperfection: Perfection is an unattainable goal. Take different versions in various styles and appreciate the imperfect details. They're a part of your real-life memories. 2️⃣ No One's Watching: We know the feeling when you think everyone is watching you. But here's the truth – most people don't care! So have fun, be yourself, and don't stress about what others think. You'll likely never see them again anyway. 3️⃣ Take the Lead: If you're shooting with a partner, let the more confident one take the lead. And if you're flying solo, be your own director. Plan your moves before the camera starts rolling and own that location like a pro! 4️⃣ Practice and Lists: Research pose ideas, create a list of your favorites, and the ones you feel comfortable with. Trust us, this game-changer will save you time and ensure you don't forget everuthing when the moment arrives. 5️⃣ HAVE FUN! Remember, the most important thing is to be yourself, be silly, crack jokes, and laugh. Don't take it too seriously, and capture those candid shots – they often hold the best memories. Now, grab your camera and start filling up that photo album with a lifetime of memeries! 📸💫 SHARE these tips with your travel buddy, and don't forget to FOLLOW US for more travel inspiration & tips! . . . #traveltips #traveladdict #traveladvice #travelinspo #travelinspiration #travelcou
