Thinking of the amazing people of #Istanbul. Even during times of tension last week I was met with warmth and amazing hospitality. A cultural and historical region for humanity, I hope they can rise to the occasion as they have done countless times throughout millennia. #travel #travelstoke #travelgram #elevenexpeditions #turkey #mosque #sultanahmet #hagiasophia

Whirling Dervish spinning in deep trance. The Mawlaw'īyya are also known as the Whirling Dervishes due to their famous practice of whirling as a form of dhikr (remembrance of God). #Dervish is a common term for an initiate of the #Sufi path; the whirling is part of the formal Sama ceremony. In 2008, #UNESCO named the "The Mevlevi Sema Ceremony" of #Turkey as amongst the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. #Istanbul #travel #travelgram #whirlingdervish #travelstoke #traveltheworld #dance #meditation #elevenexpeditions @glenisse (at Istanbul, Turkey)

That is not an optical illusion, that fern is actually blue. Sumatran forests contain over 10,000 plant species, an amazingly biodiverse and rich ecosystem with unique life forms found nowhere else on the planet. We must protect it. #Sumatra #indonesia #plants #bluefern #conservation #forests #harimauconservation #hutanindonesia (at Gunung Leuser National Park)

This is Ha Long Bay,, UNESCO World Heritage Site, engulfed in pollution. That is not a cloudy day, nor fog. That is the result of burning of fossil fuels in northern #Vietnam and #China. It is sad that on the day and age we live in, with so much advancement in technology and inventive resources we are still being contaminated by the interests of the fossil fuel industry. Let's #riseup #moveforward and demand change. As consumers we have the power to change the world with our actions and decisions! @glenisse #halongbay #travel #environment #informyourself #elevenexpeditions (at Ha Long Bay, Vietnam)
