The time for redbuds and purple wisteria is over, it's time for the most beautiful season when the colors change from green, yellow, red, yellow and even brown...

"Now that spring has infected life, trees, water, such a journey is stirring inside me, if you can resist it.

My heart has already packed its suitcase; my soul has packed its bag. "In spite of Can Dündar, who says, "The distant ones are suffering...", my soul loves autumn. Moreover, I have traveled half of the world only in the fall, without a suitcase and with a backpack... So when it comes to traveling, my face starts to smile immediately.

By the way, please stop saving your money for a rainy day, okay? If you save it for that, you will be right anyway, I mean, something negative will happen, you will use it in an accident, in the hospital, in sickness, etc. My late grandmother even kept her shroud money in her gold leaf embroidered chest, she didn't want anyone to spend money for her, she didn't want her to be a burden to anyone. We come from such a culture, of course, we want to save money, why not for traveling, seeing and having fun?

Go on, start saving now!

Western people work like crazy at work. They do the job properly and in the meantime, they find a way to relax in the summer months. Fortunately, in recent years, people in our country have started to do the same. Even the museums in our country are now full to the brim. Fortunately, despite all the bad things about social media, it has had a great impact on the spread of cultural trips.

Please start traveling in our country first. Please do not go out into the world without visiting our country, which has four seasons at the same time, cultural richness, museums, all kinds of beauty of nature, mountains, countryside, plains, seas, palaces, inns, mosques, churches, bridges, all the things found everywhere in the world at the same time.

From north to south, east to west, village to village, town to town, city to city, one by one. There are different activities in each place; different in the sea, different in the mountains, different in the rivers. For those who enjoy cultural tourism, don't forget to visit the museums and try the folk dances and music of each region, as well as the local restaurants serving local food and drinks. For those who love nature and sports, there are activities suitable for every region, starting with rafting, paragliding, paragliding, submarine activities and balloon rides. The touristic richness of our country is endless and it is almost a summary of the whole planet. Moreover, I have not been able to finish Istanbul for as long as I can remember, I wonder if anyone has done it? And please, even if you don't read a book before you go, do some preliminary research about your destination. Apart from where to stay, what to eat, what to drink, who lived in which period, its history, whatever artifacts are in the museum, palace, mosque, whatever, what they are, when they were made, by whom. You should always research the museums in advance so that you will both deepen your knowledge of art history and enjoy your visit...

Believe me, all of my friends, who visited hundreds of museums with me, were amazed that they enjoyed themselves immensely and could stay in the museums for hours without getting bored. Moreover, each of them later developed a deep interest in art, painting and sculpture. One of them even said that he had visited the Louvre Museum for the first time, even though he had been to Paris hundreds of times, while the other said that he realized that he had visited the same museum for the first time with me, even though he had been to the same museum dozens of times. Although it was impossible to stand in front of every single artifact, I told them about all the important ones...

Once, at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, I narrated his "Gauguin's Chair" for 20 minutes, and my friends, who had been engrossed, laughed a lot when they realized the passage of time, and said that even a chair could only be so mysterious and attractive with my narration. In the meantime, if you meet me somewhere, grab my arm, don't let go, because I can't get enough of every museum even if I visit it a thousand times...

Joking aside, believe me, if you go, you will enjoy and learn a lot. But please, take every opportunity to visit, see and learn. As the saying goes: It is not the one who lives a lot, but the one who travels a lot that knows...
