Today is my last day in Turkey, and I am so sad to leave. This has been such an amazing trip where I have laughed so hard until my cheeks hurt and have experienced once-in-a-lifetime things like singing on Turkish national television for over 60 million viewers and being photographed by the paparazzi. It was truly an awesome opportunity for me to experience all of the charm and glamour of Turkey, while also catching glimpses of its social and cultural nature and history. Even though I have only been here for a week, I look forward to coming back someday to revisit the passion, desperation, and happiness that I have seen in the faces of the street vendors, fishermen, and stunning socialites that might cross my path.
Tomorrow I will leave for Corfu, Greece to work with The Silva Project for 8 weeks, and I am so excited to get started to see what they need me to do and to meet the caliber of person who have the heart to run an organization that tackles all of the issues that they support within this organization. So excited for tomorrow and the dash that marks all the days between now and July 18.
Goodbye, Istanbul!
