    She left you ? I don't blame her 🤣 Catarina is the best travel companion ever. Never complains, even when surrounded by geese and cows or having to eat animal brains. Always smiling and in a good mood. Have a good rest, Catarina ❤

    12:01 --- She says: _"You're lucky that you've found such a lovely girl."_ Not sure if Ben understands Turkish, but his response is accurate: _"Yes, exactly."_ Randomly, it's been my first visit to this channel, but it does not take long to notice that Cat is absolutely adorable. ^_^ ---All safe, all well to both. _(Not that it matters, but the Turkish bath was a touristic establishment, as opposed to being authentic. It's unisex, yet it's likely that local men would not be admitted. The attendants are probably Southeast Asian.)_

    Man, I don't know how you travel vloggers can hit country to country back to back. Probably the reason why I sub to y'all. I would like to chime in my own thoughts as a very small, traveler myself. I prefer spending more money and more time in one country to enjoy and encounter everything it offers rather than spend 2 or 3 miserably days rushing from spot to spot. With those short 3-4 day country visits, you barely have a chance to experience the food, the culture, and the many locations while being exhausted and rushed from traveling. I did an 18 day Euro trip through Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris, and London. While it was fun, I was miserable because we were running on 4-6 hours of sleep per day and my feet were dead from just rushing from spot to spot. Good info to hear what estimated spending you guys did in those last 2.5 months through 7 countries. If I recall, I think my total cost came around 2.5k or so (we weren't looking for dirt cheap stuff) for our euro trip. I did a 2 week trip in Japan (tokyo area and Kyoto) which cost me about 2k as well. Japan is not cheap at all (arguably I'd say it's just as expensive as the US), but that money was well worth spent.
