Zeynep's Adventures So Far
Netherlands
Amsterdam
Zeynep spent an incredible 2 months in Amsterdam during an amazing internship, where she created unforgettable memories with her boyfriend. Together, they explored the iconic windmills of Zaanse Schans, where nature decided to demonstrate the true power of Dutch winds! On that memorable day, a massively strong gust of wind hit with such force that it literally almost blew Zeynep off the ground - she had to grab onto her boyfriend to stay earthbound! It was both terrifying and hilarious, giving them a real taste of why the Netherlands is famous for its windmills. They also wandered through the breathtaking tulip fields of Keukenhof, immersing themselves in the beauty of Dutch culture. They enjoyed romantic boat tours through the historic canals, discovering the city from its most beautiful perspective. Her favorite dining spot became "Mchi" in IJburg, where she fell in love with their exquisite Teriyaki Salmon, returning there time and time again.

Maastricht
The adventure continued in Maastricht, where they visited the beautiful Basilica of Our Lady and embarked on an unforgettable kayaking journey on the Maas River. During this thrilling expedition, they unexpectedly encountered rapid waters that nearly capsized their kayak! Thanks to Zeynep's immense kayaking skills, she masterfully navigated the challenging waters and saved the moment. The adventure ended with her boyfriend having to bike back to town - a 10km journey in completely soaked jeans - creating a memory they still laugh about today!

Den Haag (The Hague)
Their Dutch adventures also took them to the beautiful city of Den Haag. One particularly memorable day, they were enjoying the seaside atmosphere at The Pier Shore, sitting at a charming café with the ocean breeze. Zeynep was looking absolutely stunning in her completely white jeans - a bold fashion choice that would soon be put to the test! As they were relaxing and taking in the views, a waitress approached their table carrying a tray of drinks. In an unfortunate moment, she accidentally spilled an entire red wine-like cocktail all over Zeynep's pristine white jeans and shoes! The deep red liquid seemed like it would surely ruin her outfit forever. But in what can only be described as a miracle, the stains came out completely! It's a story they still can't believe - and a testament to either incredible luck or Zeynep's magical presence that even spilled cocktails dare not leave permanent marks on her!

Belgium
Antwerp
In Antwerp, Zeynep and her boyfriend biked everywhere, embracing the city's cycling culture while exploring its historic streets. They visited the magnificent Chocolate Nation, where Zeynep discovered her deep adoration for dark chocolate. In a moment that still makes her laugh, her boyfriend claimed to be bored - only to then enthusiastically occupy the entire tasting line for the White and Ruby chocolates! They also explored the stunning Cathedral of Our Lady, marveling at its Gothic architecture and artistic treasures, and climbed to the top of Het Steen on a beautiful sunny day to take in the panoramic views of the city.

Paris - The City of Lights (Visited Twice!)
Paris holds a special place in Zeynep's heart - she's visited twice and already plans a third trip! During her adventures, she ascended the Eiffel Tower, where her boyfriend's antics of jumping on the glass floor 1000 feet above ground definitely did NOT amuse her! They explored the sacred beauty of Sacré-Cœur and captured amazing photos together in the artistic streets of Montmartre.
One particularly memorable moment happened at La Maison de Isabelle. Zeynep had been eagerly anticipating trying their famous croissants, but her innocently ignorant boyfriend, thinking he was being helpful by ordering a "chocolate croissant," received a pain au chocolat instead of an actual croissant! Now Zeynep must return to Paris for a third time to finally taste a proper croissant - because as her boyfriend learned, a real croissant is without chocolate!
In Montmartre, they considered buying a love lock but decided their love doesn't need symbols - it will last forever anyway!

Their Parisian adventures were extensive: they explored the magnificent Louvre, admired Notre-Dame, strolled through the beautiful Jardins of Luxembourg, marveled at the opulent Palais Garnier, visited the grand Versailles Castle, paid respects at the Panthéon, and discovered so much more of this enchanting city!
