Slow Travel With Us

Landing in Istanbul, Türkiye at Sunset As I try and try to get my blog caught up to current times, I figured I'd post a current update. We just landed in a new country! I'm hoping to get caught up in the next month so I can post things as they happen. The world of blogging is completely foreign to me so you'll probably see a lot of subtle changes as I learn. For instance, I just discovered how to add links, so you'll be able to get to our YouTube channel as well as our Instagram and Facebook pages.  We left Kraków Poland last night and landed in Istanbul Türkiye! We're beyond excited to explore this amazing city with so much history. And of course, eat the amazing food it has to offer.  Istanbul is massive! Roughly 15 million people!

Poland is a beautiful country and Krakow is such a great hub to explore from. As you know already we spent about a week in Wroclaw and loved our time there. I shared our experience in a previous post that can be found here:  Magical Wroclaw After spending a couple months in the city, we were in the mood for some nature. We love to hike, it's great exercise and we forget we are putting in work because we are so distracted by the amazing views and nature surrounding us. Visiting Zakopane and Tatra National Park was just what we needed. Zakopane is a small alpine city in southern Poland, with a populations of about 27,000 people. It sits deep in southern Poland at the foothills of the Tatra Mountains, very close to the border of Slovakia.
