AD | A place where cocktails come with a side of birdsong, towering trees and views that make you forget you're in Marmaris. 🌿🍸

One evening at Sento Restaurant was enough to show me a completely different side of Turkey. Hidden amongst the forest, every detail felt thoughtfully designed – from the creative cocktails to the beautifully presented dishes and cosy atmosphere wrapped around a giant tree.

This wasn't the Marmaris I expected, and that's exactly why I loved it.

If you're looking for somewhere special for dinner, put this on your list. ✨

Have you ever found a restaurant that completely surprised you?

AD | Every morning in Turkiye we were greeted by an air-conditioned minivan, except for one. Where instead two red and beige jeeps stood instead.

The safari was one of the highlights of my trip to Turkiye. We swapped the beach for winding forest roads, explored hidden corners of the region, and even learned a few local traditions from our guide along the way.

It was the perfect way to see a different side of Turkey beyond the coastline – rugged landscapes, fresh mountain air, and plenty of laughs with the group.
Would you trade a day by the pool for an adventure like this? 👇

Japan in seven frames 🇯🇵

From Tokyo’s skyline to Kyoto’s quiet backstreets, Osaka’s neon glow, Nara’s wandering deer and the floating torii gate of Miyajima — this trip was everything I hoped it would be and more.

Every stop felt completely different. Some places were loud, bright and chaotic. Others were calm, traditional and almost cinematic. That’s what made Japan so special for me — you can go from city lights to bamboo forests, castles, shrines and mountain views in the space of a few days.

I couldn't decide where to start with all the content from Japan, so I decided to start with one photo from every stop. Thank you to Urth for gifting me some filters for my Sony A7CII. The ND was my go to but the night filter was so much fun in the cities.
