 CALIFORNIA
  Before we have moved to Southern California, we had been living New jersey, which is a little boring state, in winters too cold and snowy, in summers too hot and rainy, therefore we wanted to move to the different state in the USA. Both I and my husband love to travel. In 2018 we have got an east coast trip from New York to Florida for two weeks. Also, we visited CA three times before moving in 2017 and in 2018. We , also, got a short west coast trip from San Fransisco to San Diego. I can say honestly, California is the best state to visit and to live in the USA in many ways. First of all-weather is incredible. Most days of the years are sunny. Not only summers are not too hot but also, winters are not too cold. Secondly, I admire CA's beaches. I recommend walking through route 1 in Laguna beach where boutique shops, art galleries, beautiful restaurants, and cafes are located. Watching the sunset on Santa Monica pier with sounds of the violin and eating fish on the san Clemente pier stay in your memories forever. In addition, all beaches in CA have different beauties such as Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Treasure Island Beach. Another important thing is that Education, living standards, and people in CA  are much better than the other states in the USA. Today was a beautiful sunny day. I went to Zinc Cafe in Corona Del Mar with my friends. After drinking coffee, we passed through the magnificent houses to the beach, then I saw the ocean, I thought at that moment: "Thankfully I am in California."

      Have you been to Laguna Beach yet? You need to go there - and go to Catalina Island.

    Laguna Beach is great. My sister-in-law lives there. Have you been to Catalina yet? You need to go. As I said before, I love Turkey and it reminds me a lot of California.

      I have not been Cataliana , but we have wanted to visit Catalina for 2 years. Which month is the best month for visit Catalina ? I think so Turkey's Mediterranean side looks like California .

      Sorry that I am so late to reply! If you have the chance, September is probably the best time to visit. The water is usually warm and it's not too crowded. October is nice too, but maybe not for swimming. July and August are great, but it can be very crowded!

  When I was 16.  We had been staying in Turgutreis, Bodrum every summer for 3 months. We had a house in a beautiful big community. I had a  lot of friends. Have you heard about Bodrum? Bodrum is the most famous entertainment city in Turkey. Although I lived in Bodrum, I didn't go anywhere after 12:00 am because I was turning into a pumpkin :).  My parents were not allowed to me.    One day my friends wanted to see the sunrise. If you want to see the sunrise in June, you should get up early at 4:30 am. So we decided to climb up to the peak of the community's hill, so we would have seen sunrise haha. When I turned to home, I could not say anything to mom; because I knew that she would not have allowed me to go. I would have been going to sneak out. When my friends came to pick up me at my home, I was sleeping. They had tried to call me quietly with my name and unfortunately, I couldn't hear them and they had decided to throw up a rock to the window. They ...

       MY PATH       SKILLFUL SAILORS ARE NOT MADE BY SMOOTH SEAS.                 Human beings’ skills improve by struggles. In a monotonous life, we cannot expect people’s talents to emerge. Humans have developed their abilities through difficulties since prehistory. Nowadays, in everywhere experts recommend “get out of our comfort zone.” The comfort area has the same meaning as the smooth sea in the proverb. When we get out of our comfort zone and challenge ourselves, we can gain which skills we desire.              This proverb reminded me of the biggest challenge of my life. It was the most difficult, but most educative experience of all my life. What was it? “Moving to USA”, yes, I should have been crazy. We had everything we want; a beautiful home, good jobs, cars, our friends, and our families. All my memories were in Ist...
