FEARLESS TRAVELLING in TURKEY with GOOGLE MAPS

I want Google Maps to bring out the fearless traveler in everyone! So, in that light, what I love sharing most on Google Maps is the ‘insider tips and tricks’ of visiting Turkey, and in particular, Istanbul.

Most people who visit a city for the first time, are often seeking ‘shelter’ under the safe/tried ways of the past. A hop on bus tour seems ‘safe’, but is it truly the best way to get to know a city? If you’re passionate about finding out where the best food, best music, best ‘baklava’, and best sites are in a city, then my posts will help answer all those questions by simply sharing the local insights and tips. My shares also include economic/financial tips as often there are ways to enjoy the city at a fraction of the cost of what a typical ‘tourist’ wold spend. Thanks go Google, 2019/2020 is when our world becomes a bit cozier and more accessible for all of us to enjoy - with a peace of mind that comes with Local Guide insights.
