Spring in Belgrade Serbia 2024

There were some maladies involved in getting from Datça to Belgrade. Thankfully, at this point in my travels I’m somewhat “inoculated” from freaking out – it really doesn’t change anything. In short, the trip was a messy experience that I’m planning to forget ASAP. :o) Writing about it is a catharsis of sorts. Street Art Mediterranean Storm After weeks of clear, picture-perfect weather, the night…

Belgrade Serbia - Music, Galleries, History

Triangle of Serbian National Institutions Nikola Pašić Sq.– Elorna It will be fantastic returning to Belgrade! Mediterranean resort towns like Datça are healthy and relaxing, but after a rejuvenating stay, I’m happy to be back in a city. The trip from Tukey to Serbia will be tiring – Datça – Marmaris – Istanbul – Belgrade – but I’m not complaining. The worst part is packing heavy winter clothes…

Pondering Datça Turkey

Turkish Red Poppies Growing Everywhere This time in Datça has been an almost meditative experience for me – a personal lesson in visiting a foreign country on its own terms. Often, tourists approach traveling abroad from the standpoint of what they expect to accomplish from the experience, rather than what it can teach them… They may not get involved in planning, and chose to travel in groups of…

Turkey to Serbia 2024

I’ll be traveling to Belgrade in mid-April and happy to be returning to a more metropolitan location. Still in awe of the incredible natural beauty of Datça, but it’s time to move on to the next stop in my travels. Isolated Aegean and Mediterranean peninsulas are remarkable pristine locations for exploring ancient ruins like Knidos, sailing in graceful Turkish gulets along crystal clear seas, and…

WordPress in Turkey

Since arriving in Datca, I’ve had trouble using WordPress. Accessing the dashboard to edit or add new posts has been a headache – and that’s really putting it mildly. I changed browsers and made other modifications – nothing worked. The amount of time it takes to edit and create posts is prohibitive – there would be no time left to enjoy the trip. After some research, I realized that this might…

Datça Turkey 2020

Lunch Stop Datça has changed considerably since my previous visit in 2013, but it’s still the same beautiful coastal city! The clean crisp air is wonderful – an ultra-healthy living environment. My apartment is in a great location for exploring and has a view of the Marina and gorgeous blue Aegean Sea. I’ll be in a daze for a while. Familiar Scene in Datça No English Turkish business people can…
