    HELLO THERE:
    We are Joe and Liisu, relatively new to YouTube but really excited to be a part of this community. We live small and sustainably in my home on wheels (a lovely van called Freyja) and from time to time out of our backpacks (we have not named the backpacks yet). On this channel, we ask you to join us on our travel adventures off the beaten track where we show you the beauty of untouched nature and wander into places most tourists don’t dare to go.

      I agree. Turkey is awesome. I'm heading back next month. First time I went they attacked me with kebabs and tulum. Now I'm marrying a Turkish girl that keeps trying to placate me with manti and kadayif. Send help

      What an epic trip! I'm glad you got there safely and got the van repaired–there were definitely some nervous moments! You've been having some epic adventures on this solo trip. I do think the issue of "rip off" is kind of a difficult one to broach. Some things just are unexpectedly expensive (like a brand unique auto part)–other things might be a factor of convenience (for instance, if a cruise passenger wants a custom trinket far from where it's manufactured then there's going to be an escalation in cost to compensate for convenience). I think the line gets crossed when there's selling without integrity–misrepresentation of what's being sold, use of coercive tactics, and so on. Those sellers flock, as you said–to the gullible, who are often tourists. But while that is usually not a representation of what is customary in a culture–I do why unethical practices targeted at tourists are tolerated by those who are authorized to control them (and I don't mean this specifically in Turkey, but throughout the world). Oh well, another great adventure, though I hope the next one is less trying on you!

      IF GRAVITY OF THE SUN WORKS THE SAME ON THE NEAREST PLANETS AS IT DOES ON THE FURTHEST PLANETS THEN IT WOULD BE SAME LIKE FEELING THE HEAT OF A FIRE IN THE SAME WAY REGARDLESS OF BEING NEXT TO THE FIRE OR BEING MILES AWAY FROM THE FIRE

      +40 celcius and -40 celcius are possible in Turkiye. swimming and skiing at the same day is possible also. I am glad to hear that your van is ready for your next adventure. Trust Turkish mechanics. Safe travels🙏.

      In support of you two and all the interesting and helpful information you pass along to people, I have purchased your guide to Türkiye.

      Thank you! I have lived in Istanbul for over three years and I have enjoyed all of your videos about Türkiye

      Turkey is a terrorist country because it has occupied the lands of the Kurds. When the Arabs demand the rights of the Kurds, who have all rights, they call them separatist terrorists.

      Dear Lisa and Joe, I wish you both a good trip and hope that you always meet with nice people.
      Thank you for including a famous artist like me in your video 😊

      Kind greetings from Evrenseki/Antalya

      I've been travelling Turkiye in my van for the last month or so. Turkish people are amazing! So welcoming and proud to show their country. Even in the tourist hotspots where you'd think they'd be sick of us by now. I love it here.

      yes it's a huge mistake, from supporting Erdogan islamic ambitions to getting riped off at every corner, there are much better countrys to travel too, once that wont use your money for wrong reasons. from the occupation of northers Cyprus to the invasion of syria, from the support of terrorist groups like hamas, hezbollah, isis to no human rights. Turkey is not a country you should be supporting.
