An Adventurous Misadventure

Olla mi amigos! We're back on another episode of Arif's Adventurous Misadventures! If you all recall, my previous post was about me concluding the second half of my 2024. Those 6 months were insanely fun and if you were to ask me what was the biggest highlight from those 6 months, I'd obviously pick the trip to The land of Turks or we all know it as Turkiye. In the previous post I did mention I was going to write a post specially for the trip. So, buckle up and PLEASE, listen to the cabin crew's announcement because we're about to fly to Turkiye! ✈ Day 1: Istanbul Aku Datang!

Everything was depressing. The thoughts of "2024 is shit" & "this is by far the worst year ever" were lingering on my mind. The first 6 months of the year was very hard. It was too much. Nonetheless, I recalled telling myself somewhere by end of June last year saying "Enough, the past 6 months were miserable. I need to get myself together & let's turn the table around! Let's restart & make every moment count!" Praise the lord, alhamdulillah. Everyone, the second half of 2024 is by far the best 6 months I've ever experienced in my entire 25 years of life.  Why? How or where do I even start? Fr...
