The Venetian Diaries

Those who know me know very well that I love to explore.  New places, new flavours, new fragrances.  Because I am a believer of all new things; fresh things, opening doors to positivity.  Leaving the older stuff in the past, moving onto better ones.  The same generally applies to my travel theory, too, because I think that when I see new places I gain a newer side to me and this is generally the case.

Venice was just perfect.  Picture perfect.  The gondoliers serenading whilst they soar through the canals, the narrowest alleyways and of course the ice cream.  Seriously is there anything Italians do wrong?!

The warm and friendly people of Italy have never failed to impress me.  Coming from a Turkish background I pay a lot of attention to hospitality, and being greeted with a warm welcome, wherever I went was just the icing on the cake for me.


Ice cream is a massive part of my life and Italian Gelato just adds happiness to that.  The excitement of having a late lunch/dinner knowing that I will be having Gelato afterwards kept me going!


Always a pleasure with the beautiful weather, the beautiful and elegant people and the incredible food!  Until next time, Italy; arrivederci!

Bitter Sweet Berlin

Three whole months without a single post.  Without anything of interest to scribble... Or type, should I say?..  They most certainly were not any old months where I simply wasn't doing or accomplishing anything; in fact I was pretty much getting my life together, making huge decisions.  Or just huge moves.  To Germany. What better way of restarting my good old writing habits than to update you all on my current location!  Hurrah, I finally made it here.  After several visits here and sleepless nights of um'ing and ah'ing, wondering why I cant find a job in Berlin, I was offered an opportunity to work as a customer solutions agent... Speaking English and Turkish only, of course.  My journey was not a smooth one to say the least, but settling in, moving in with my lovely flat mate and finally booking my evening German lessons I can say that I'm a lot more comfortable here, in Berlin. A lot of people did try and stop me when I was in the decision making...

The Power of Rejection

When was the last time you did something without wondering 'what if?', or worrying about the outcome? Now I find this to be a bit of a problem in our society, and want to get to the bottom of it. I say it's a problem, because I see that a lot of people of all ages, holding back in doing what could change a lot in their lives and decisions.  I sometimes feel like rejection or being turned away in whatever I do is such an obstacle that I need to express the negative effect this may have on the lives of so many of us. In order to overcome this obstacle, the first question I ask myself is 'so what?'. This is key, because when you start answering your own questions, it's a lot simpler to picture why 'rejection' or an answer which isn't that of your expectations isn't actually an obstacle.  Stating facts or presenting opinions where due is a part of our nature, and the human race is one of the most confusing among all. The point is, you are ne...

Perfume: The "P" in Peace

Perfume enhances our senses.  Not just smell - but also the sense of being.  Freedom.  And it just makes sense...  It's a subject which I have spoken about since I have been old enough to think and how it shapes so much of what we do and feel is so significant.   Airport sprees are especially a highlight as it means testing new fragrances and deciding which one I want next.  Finding the one and   drowning yourself in the deepness of the bottle and the journey it takes you on is an exciting part of the trip.  One of the main factors for me is the memory that you create with just a smell.  When you use a perfume at a specific time or place, it helps store that memory and combines the scent with that experience - this is especially why I prefer to go on a perfume hunt when I am travelling!   Being on holiday means that I get to relax and think about the perfume (which sticks to my travel hoodie and lingers in the hotel room for t...
