Why you can’t eat your doner on a park bench in Istanbul…

All the cats in Istanbul want my doner kebab...

I’m eating a lot of doner kebabs in Istanbul. It’s a good meal, cheap, and can be eaten on the street, which is a plus for a solo female traveler like me.

But you can’t eat your doner on a park bench in Istanbul. It’s just not possible. Because if you try to eat your doner on a park bench in Istanbul they will find you. And they will beg. And they will look damn adorable while doing so.

They, of course, are the cats in Istanbul. They will surround you. They will beg. They will look so darned cute. And you will want to feed them. And you probably will.

Maybe next time I’ll eat my donor kebab back at my hostel. Or just find a restaurant instead. Or, maybe, I’ll return to the park bench and wait for my adorable furry dinner companions to join me once again.

Hi, I'm Val. I spent most of my 20s in a standstill, unable to pick which path in life I wanted to take. I wanted the nomadic life of a traveler but also wanted the husband, the condo, and the kitten. Unable to decide which life I wanted more, I did nothing. When I turned 30 I’d had enough of putting my life on hold and decided to start “choosing my figs.” So, I quit my job, bought a one-way ticket to Europe, and traveled for three years. Now I'm back in Chicago, decorating my apartment in all the teal, petting my cats, and planning my next adventure.
