Yes! This is my treat, to treat myself! Let us just pretend the virus is gone. Let us just pretend, we can travel again without doubt, without fear, without worries.
It is ME-Time now. After a tough year whilst made redundant, looking for a new job, working harder than ever to make up the lost money, it is time for pay back! Well, at least mentally. 😊

During this trip I will take as many pictures as possible. I will meet Greek people and why not learn a bit Greek too. It is time to relax, to let go, to heal and to take care of myself. It is time to finally do what I always want to do and what I desperately need, a recharge, a trip to the moon and back! 😊
About the Creator

One day I will be myself again,
and this darkness might come to an end,
and all doubt will cease,
and all strength will rise.
One day my tinted memories will be left behind,
and I will be able to see the world through a clear lens.
Inshallah
Istanbul is a city bristling with life, a place where past and present, sacred and profane, intertwine under the watchful gaze of the Sultan Ahmet Mosque. As I explore this crossroads of cultures with Maya, my nine-year-old niece and the daughter of my late brother-in-law Frank, and my wife Nadia, Frank's sister, I find myself on a journey not just through Istanbul's history, but also into the depths of my own beliefs. Staying with Maya and her mother Elvan, my sister-in-law, I begin to see the city anew through their eyes, and to understand why James Baldwin said it "revived" him.

The Tower of London
When the lockdown restrictions were lifted, I remember walking outside of Tower London and absorbing the once-in-a-lifetime surreal feeling. I will never forget what I saw. The place was virtually empty, with an eerie silence all around. I remember talking to one of the Beefeaters standing behind the Gate, and he told me they would be opening when they got the go-ahead from the officials.
