TURKEY’s STRANGE VILLAGE - ‘Otluk’

For more than a week, I stayed in Otluk, a village in the Afyonkarahisar province of Turkey. Earlier, I had experienced a Turkish village in 2018 in a different province. The reason I could reach Otluk was my friend Gokhan, who, after hosting me, has now started to host other tourists. #TravelVlog #MountainTrekker #turkeytravel

ABOUT ME
I'm Varun.
I am a full-time traveller now (yes, I quit my job to follow my dreams). I love solo travelling & meeting people. After travelling extensively in Incredible India for years, I stepped out of my country and realised, how beautiful the world is! I started making travel web series in Hindi full of travel tips and tricks, especially for budget travel and sustainable tourism. My dream is to inspire people to explore this beautiful world and learn the best things to make our world a better place to live in. I was awarded the prestigious 'National Tourism Award' by the Government of India for my contributions in the field of promotion of Tourism. Thanks to my viewers, I now get invitations from across the globe to visit their places and show them to the world.

वरुण भाई आपकी एक वीडियो दूसरे यूटूबर्स की 10 के बराबर है...आप कितने रिलैक्स होकर बात करते है बिल्कुल हड़बड़ी नही है...बोलने का तरीका एकदम साफ सुथरा है जैसे किसी बड़ी यूनिवर्सिटी में एक सुलझा हुआ मंझा हुआ टॉप प्रोफेसर लेक्चर दे रहा हो...यही फर्क होता है Quality & Quantity में।❤❤

Your video editing is just amazing. It makes simple events seem like a movie. There is some magic in your videos which just hits different. It creates a sense of peace, involvement and touches the soul. Never stop making videos, art needs to stay alive. Otherwise world becomes a mechanical existence.

Khaskhas means posto in bengali waha se afim opium banti hain. I saw their breakfast had khaskhas which we have in bengal in lunch. And interesting is afyonkarahisar means opium -black- castle.

[@sweetgirl-wm5sy]

@1:50 Oooo😝
It felt like you have been living there for a long time now.
The conversation were flowy,may be language constraints but the emotions were original.
Everyone trying to share their feelings and the situation to you ,felt amazing.
The community culture has always been a great part of human race and really feel good to see the places where it is followed till today.
Aur mujhe sabse zyada accha laga woh area ,jo ghar se bhara nikalte hi hai yaha har ek ghar mein ,lot of climbers,grapes harvesting and the environment that creates there,thodi si doop aati hui,chav k beech se,the visuals are dreamy for me.
Accha laga yeh dekh k bhi ,ki the people accepted you as one of their family and not guest ,when the lady offered to tie the scarf on your hand,shows the acceptance and love that we can share even with strangers.
Aise vlogs dekh k sachh mein yakin hota hai ki successful hone k liye chamak dhamak ki zarurat nhi hoti,bas being yourself and true to your core nature ki hoti hai,baki sab apne aap aa jaata hai.
Haa, aap apne desh mein hai accha laga jaan k,hope you have good time with your near and dear ones after such a long time aur aapki matashree aapko bahut sara ghar ka khana khilaye that you missed in Germany.

6:26
1324 is the Islamic year (Hijri Calendar) in which the person was born, which translates to 1906 in Gregorian calendar that we use today.
Just as a matter of information, the making of permanent graves is a debatable topic in Islam, unlike some Turks who believe in making permanent graves, the Saudis do the opposite, making of permanent graves is strictly prohibited in Arab countries, after few years when the body fully decomposes, they clean an existing grave and bury another person. Same goes on in India, they used to build permanent graves but since a decade or so, the grave yard committees stopped giving permission to build permanent graves.
