Where will you go?
The Final City Little did Yagmur know, we had arrived to our final destination of this chapter of adventures. We arrived late at night and headed straight to our Airbnb where we met up with Betty & Ron. Ron was heading out the next morning but Betty was stuck with us for our remaining time …
