Hello everyone! We are on to year TWO of our FunkTravels Podcast.
In this episode you will hear about our 2016 review… sorta. We mostly cover our move and the first half of the year as we have thoroughly covered our last few months in Turkey via Episode 18-24! Two main topics we discuss are ‘Are we glad we moved to Turkey?’ and ‘What’s next for 2017?’
What do you do for family vision/goal planning? Any tips or suggestions?
What do you want to hear about as we move forward?

Hopefully you enjoyed your Thanksgiving celebration (if you are American and celebrate it), we enjoyed our time in Istanbul celebrating with old friends.
This week has brought some major good news for our apartment to do list! Through the help of various men coming in and out of our apartment, pretty much everything on our list has been taken care of! But, of course, a new problem came up too… We talk about this, settling into our new home, our trip to Istanbul, and our next trip to Germany!
