       Hey there, fellow adventurers! Welcome to my little slice of the web where I get to share all my travel experiences with you. You'll get the real deal here - all the first-hand details about the places I've visited.

       

       I'm excited to share my personal favorites, those hidden gems that I just can't get enough of. But I'll also give you the lowdown on the places that, in my opinion, didn't quite live up to their reputation. 

       

        You'll get a virtual tour of the countries and cities I've had the pleasure of exploring. But that's not all! I'm also here to help you plan your next trip. So, whether you're ready to pack your bags or just dreaming of your next adventure, I've got you covered. Let's start this journey together!

About

My name is Ali Koklu

I'm a software engineer with a deep passion for travel. Rather than just passing through, I set out to truly experience each state—spending about a month in each to absorb its unique character, discover its highlights, and understand areas that could be improved.

I began my journey in Jacksonville, Florida, and plan to explore many states across the U.S. For accommodations, I chose to stay in Airbnbs, as I find it's a great way to meet locals, build new friendships, and maybe even reconnect with some of them later on. After all, you never know where your paths might cross again.

Remember, you don't have to see every single place on your journey. If you try to squeeze in too much, you might just end up exhausted. And instead of beautiful memories of amazing spots, all you'll remember is the endless road. So, take it easy, savor each moment, and truly enjoy the places you visit. After all, travel is about quality, not quantity!
