Category Archives: Asia This adventure happened almost a year ago, and I wanted to share it at the time with you on Wandering Footsteps, but I was trying to get a story about it published. It finally happened: my story about searching for sea turtles in Oman was published by Global Green Travel! Here’s a link to that story as well as an photo-filled alternate version.  Wandering Footsteps has faithfully charted my development as a person, a traveler, and a writer for an entire decade. I’ve shared reflections, profound experiences, funny stories, challenging moments, inspiring encounters, and lessons learned. Through Wandering Footsteps, I’ve become who I am today.  I love experiencing a country through its food, but as a vegetarian, I arrived to Turkey worried about its meat-heavy reputation. This is a story about overcoming expectations while searching for vegetarian food in Turkey. In the process of discovering more and more veggie foods, I learn a lot more about Turkey than just the things I could eat.  This is a story about my visit to Ephesus, one of the most famous and popular ancient ruins on the entire Mediterranean. It’s a story about how I planned my visit, what I thought, how it compares to the multitude of other ruins I saw in Turkey, and how you can make the most of your own visit to Ephesus and beyond.  I’d never traveled by camping car with another couple before. I would do so now, with overlander friends Phil and Angie. We would traverse Turkey’s Lycian Way, a 500km long-distance trail that follows in the footsteps of the mysterious, ancient Lycian people. |
