Accidental Trip to Turkey

I landed in Turkey by accident. I know it all sounds funny and ridiculous. Well let me tell you the story and how it happened. So, the story is...

Finally after 1 year I booked my flights to Doha. As I bought the last minute ticket hence, I booked my flight with Pegasus airlines it is a Turkey flag bearing airline. It is a budget airline and lat minute tickets were very expensive hence, they were the only cheap option I had. I had 1 and half hour transit time. So, I had my flight on 13th of December. the first flight was from Amsterdam and the second one was from Istanbul. I reached Istanbul on time. I passed the check point and I was hungry as I did not had anything on the flight. I bought a chicken salad from Subway and I walked to the gate. I only had half an hour to board the flight so I ran and stood in the line. I was almost the last one in the line. By the time my turn came to board the flight the flight was full so all other passengers have to fly by the next flight. I was so pissed and annoyed at that time. I argued with the officers and asked them to give the earliest flight possible, they informed that the next flight is after 36 hours and I have wait for that. I was so annoyed that they requested that they can provide me a on arrival visa as I had dutch ID and they can provide me hotel to stay. I was fine with it so, I took 1 month on arrival visa.

I was planning to travel to Turkey for a long time but I never thought that this will happen like this. I was provided with Hotel to stay from Pegasus. I took this as a serendipity moment to see the Istanbul.

However, I have learned my lesson that do not waste your time in airport. Budget airways can be annoying and frustrating sometimes. I was happy that I received support from the airline.

Walk around the Belgian streets

Best part about the trip to Brussels was walking around the city. Every street has its own beauty. when you walk around the street you see the different cultures. The city has beauty of mix cultures. You will observe different shopping streets, I must say Brussels is full of thrift shops. There is food street where you can find almost every cuisine however, try Belgian steaks. Every street has its own beauty. However, I loved the food street. I traveled in summer hence I could not see the night life. I have heard that night life is mesmerizing in Brussels. That's all for today's post. In next post I will talk about the famous church in Belgium.

Whenever we have some skin issue we try to look for grandma's recipe, sometimes we even try DIY recipes which we see in Instagram, Facebook, or we search for them in google. Do you know that there are lot of ingredients which are harmful for your skin? which may burn your skin or make your acne or pimples worse. Lets talk about products or ingredients which we should never ever use in our face from my experience. 1. Toothpaste - I have acne problem so I was looking for a solution to get rid of them. One day I came across a video in YouTube which says toothpaste help to dry your acne and eventually helps to get rid of them and the procedure to use was 'apply toothpaste in your acne and leave it overnight, in the morning wash it with your regular face wash'. So I did the way I saw in video though next day I felt its working, but guess what??? after using for 3 days, I noticed that I was getting black spots wherever I applied toothpaste and skin became dry and started pe...

Things to do in Lisbon

Lisbon the capital city of Portugal. The city is beautiful and the cultural experience that I had there exceeded my expectation. I stayed there for 3 days so, I wanted to make the most out of the trip. In today's blog I will talk about my favorite spots in Lisbon. I loved Belem tower in Lisbon. The Belem tower is situated at the heart of the town. the tower was built in 1514 and in 1983 it was classified as the world heritage site by UNESCO. The architecture and the view surrounding this heritage was very fascinating. The tower has five floors and the view from the roof is worth the hard ride. Climbing the narrow spiral staircase is a task itself. I was lucky that I traveled in January hence, it was not busy otherwise, you have to wait for hours to climb the top. It is mandatory to get the tickets to get inside. They have a student discount in place with the student discount I paid only 3 euros which was very affordable. Every floor and the architecture has its...
