During a month-long trip to Turkey, the author and her friends enjoyed their journey but encountered several challenges, including not knowing Istanbul had two international airports and underestimating the caffeine content in Turkish çay. Despite thorough preparations such as researching attractions and lodging options and practicing Turkish on Duolingo, they regretted exchanging currency at the airport and purchasing too many souvenirs at the Grand Bazaar. These experiences provided valuable lessons for future travels.
I wish I hadn't exchanged my currency in the airport or bought so many souvenirs at Grand Bazaar.
Before we left, I spent many evenings researching must-see attractions, searching for cute lodging options, and maintaining my Diamond League status learning Turkish on Duolingo.
