Many children and their parents flocked to the streets in Istanbul, Türkiye, to play in the snow and make snowmen after the Governor’s Office announced that education would be suspended for one day due to heavy snowfall throughout the province.
“The break is going very well. We are having snowball fights. We came to Çamlıca Hill when we heard about the snow holiday,” said 10-year-old Mehmet Fatih Kılıç.
A couple from Türkiye’s Şırnak province has traveled to 40 countries across six continents over 16 years, funding their journeys through animal husbandry. Taybet and Feyzullah Artuç, inspired by a newspaper supplement in their youth, began their travels after visiting historical sites across Türkiye.
Starting with neighboring countries, they expanded their journeys to Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Their trips are financed by selling livestock, with one cow covering an entire vacation. The couple aims to visit 208 countries, continuing their travels as long as their health allows.
