Part 1/7:
The Journey Through Istanbul: A Long Walk to Asia
Today marked the 194th day of my journey walking from the UK to Vietnam. Joined by my friend Sophie, we found ourselves in the vibrant chaos of Istanbul. This city, a bustling hub at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, served as a poignant reminder of how far we've come on this epic adventure.
With ten countries already traversed—England, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria, and Greece—it’s been nothing short of exhilarating to now be in Turkey. Ahead of us lie Georgia, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Cambodia, and finally, Vietnam.
