This year we wondered around Istanbul's most cosmopolitan neighbourhood: Kurtuluş with Utku. History permeates Kurtuluş today. The neighbourhood where non-Muslims and Muslims, Armenians, Greeks, Jews, and Roma people once lived together is a place where the communities that are seen as "minorities" in today's world are the voice of the majority; where they do not have to speak in whispers; where they can continue their lives on the street, not behind drawn curtains. At Pera, wondering around with Anlam it was impossible to choose just one piece of music, the first ones that came to mind were Rebetiko, İnsanlar'dan Kime Ne, Janet &amp; Jak Esim songs that make the heart tremble and of course church bells. Çemberlitaş was a part of the Istanbul Biennial, and so were we. The binding workshop founded by Emin Barın, where countless books have been meticulously bound by craftspeople since the 1950s were st,ll operation inside the han.

Do we have to go far to travel? By visiting the adjacent neighbourhood, can we be awakened? Maybe a quick conversation with a neighbour could transform our perception. And it did.Now, we are in our second home, London, walking around the streets and rediscovering how we journey, thinking about where the next stop will be, and who is going to guide us into the unknown territories.Tag along, let’s redefine travel culture.From Soli with curiosity
