Journey to myself

I woke up at my father‘s place in Kayseri, after a short night. I felt tired and my head was aching. My father prepared Menemen for breakfast. After breakfast Babaanne Nesibe, my father and me drove to Kiranardi, the village, the family’s summer house is at. After checking on the house, we visited an old…

I woke up in my bed at my father’s place. Babaanne and me prepared breakfast, while my father was praying. Börek, pide and the usual spread. I adore Turkish breakfast, it feels so rich and indulgent, but what I love the most about it, is that one goes back and forth, back and forth, between…

I woke up in my bed at my father’s place later than usually. Babaanne Nesibe – grandma and me prepared Turkish breakfast, while my father was praying. After the prayer he went to the bakery to by fresh Turkish pide and börek. Lezzetli! Yummy! Following breakfast we drove to Erciyes – the ever present majestic,…

I woke up in my bed at my fathers place well rested. My father and me went to the park to do some walking and made, once again use, of the outdoor fitness equipment. After breakfast I needed to go to the dentist. Then a lot of resting followed. Here I was reflecting on the…

I woke up in my bed at my father’s place in Kayseri earlier than usually. Sleepy I looked at the time on my phone and checked some messages on instagram, suddenly a message popped up „Guten Morgen“ with a smiling emoji – sent from my father who was next door. I bursted out in laughter…

I woke up in my father’s bed in Kayseri around 8am. While my father was praying I started to prepare breakfast. My father appreciates when I make my bed, help to prepare breakfast or do the dishes – to me it feels natural – even though at home in Sydney, I don’t make my own…

I woke up in my bed at my father‘s place in Kayseri well rested and later than usually. My body clock must still be confused, from sleeping in the darkness of the cave in Cappadocia, as I normally get up with sunrise. My father, who slept on the couch, laughed and said: ‘ I thought…

I woke up in my dorm in the hostel in Göreme. I was confused when I woke up, it was already close to 9am, normally I naturally wake up with sunrise. The darkness of the cave hostel must have confused my body clock. After breakfast and many cups of cay, I went back to the…

I woke up in the dorm of my hostel in Göreme. After having breakfast, Marcel and me went for a walk through the spectacular rock formations of the valley. Even though the landscape was unique and absolutely mesmerising, my mind was on its own journey. Over and over again, my thoughts were going back to…

I woke up in the dorm of the hostel we stayed at I Göreme. Waking up at sunrise, I felt weak and sick, it was like my body knew I don’t need to cycle, I don’t need to hold it together anymore and shut down. I was wondering if the imminent meeting with my father…
