Hole In The Donut Cultural TravelAbout Barbara Weibel
After years of working at jobs that paid the bills but brought no joy, I felt like a "hole in the donut" - solid on the outside, but empty on the inside. In 2007, I decided to pursue my true passions of travel, writing, and photography. Find out how I changed my life HERE

We’ve really got to get back to Turkey one of these days soon. We’ve only been to Istanbul on a long layover and had just enough time to visit some of the main sights and purchase some spices at the bazaar.
Barbara,
My youngest son lived in Istanbul for six months. He worked in a think tank and loved it there. He and I were in Houston last summer, and we ate at a Turkish restaurant. The food and the tea were so good, we went back every night for a week. I wish I had visited him while he was in Turkey, but I was in the middle of writing My Call to the Ring.
Love following your journeys.
xoxo,

Hi Darrelyn: How wonderful to hear from you! It really warmed my heart to hear you are still out there, following my journey. So sorry you didn’t have the opportunity to go to Turkey, but there’s still plenty of time left, and right now is a great time because the Turkish Lire is declining against the dollar. I’m sure you’d love it there. The people are incredibly friendly and the culture is fascinating.
Great shot!
Thanks Andi – the people in Istanbul were so friendly, and all seemed happy to have their photo taken.
