Hello Amsterdam & Istanbul

Yes I have been a bit quiet, with good reason. I decided to treat myself to a trip to Amsterdam and Istanbul in celebration of my thirtieth on the 13th of July.

I started solo in the beautiful city that is Amsterdam in the summer. It's all canals, bicycles, narrow cobbled streets and great buildings.

I then met up with my bestie in Istanbul. Istanbul is rich in history, Constantine deemed it the new capital of the Roman empire, it's littered with beautiful mosques, and historical sites with the Bosphorus running through it.

This is the first post of the series on my travels, can't wait to share them with you especially the amazing food.
