Turkey_

Turkey bridges continents, cultures, and categories—technically European and Asian, secular and religious, ancient and modern. Istanbul alone justifies extended stays: the Bosphorus, the Hagia Sophia, the Grand Bazaar, and neighborhoods that unfold endlessly create one of the world's great cities. Beyond Istanbul, the Cappadocia moonscape, the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts, and the Eastern Kurdish regions each offer distinct experiences. The food culture is extraordinary, the hospitality genuine, and the depth of history almost incomprehensible. The cost of living has become extremely favorable due to currency depreciation (complicated for locals, advantageous for foreign earners). The political situation and inflation create real uncertainty, but for nomads with stable foreign income, Turkey offers tremendous value and access to extraordinary culture.
