Steppes of Anatolia

Steppes of Anatolia

                We walked on mountains of Aegian Region, travelled in the green fields of Marmara. Now, we are in the steppes of Central Anatolia.                 We sent our last telegraph from Jade farm (stop). Just after, we worked in the construction of adobe house for two days in Yeryüzü Eco-village. This was the fourth construction we have participated since the beginning of our journey. Now we are ready to settle.                 Yeryüzü eco-village named their home as “Burcu”. That’s the name of the architect. We were together with a crowded, nice group of people… We have posted their photos on our website though. Also we ran into “Recognizing Plants Around Us While Walking In Nature” event. With guides from Zeytinburnu Medical Plants Gardens we have examined the plants with their names in Latin, which I can not remember now, and categorized as what is edible, which is drunk as tea, which one directly kills us. It was nice. At night, we sang songs and danced while playing bottles.                 Then we went back to Jade Farm as we promised before. Actually, we were planning to make Tarhana Soup there but we couldn’t. By the way, we spent a couple of days by working in the garden and asking questions to Berin. Berin’s farm was so green, because there was too much moisture. Humid every night. Also there are too much caterpillars this year. We were hearing their sound while they were eating leafs. They will become American Butterfly when they grow. As they don’t have any natural hunter up here, they ate all the trees. American Butterfly imperialism!                ...
Hello!

Hello!

Greetings from Seeds on Wheels! While spring is coming to the northern hemisphere of our planet and the nature is waking, we are excited about the beginning of our journey and our first blog writing. Since we met our caravan who will come along with us in our trip  that we have dreamed of, we were trying to be adapted to the  vehicle while arranging to leave Istanbul. While leaving the life we got used to, the first steps of beginning an indefinite and  exciting new life were like the steps we took when we  were infants. First we quit our jobs, commended Badem, our cat, to safe hands and then we left our home. We have spent the last days before  saying goodbye to the megalopolis with our friends and trying to know our 35 years old  caravan better. To examine the waste oil kit produced by ATG and marketed by Karaerler in Turkey, we drove to Ankara first. After our meeting, we have departed towards Akçay where we are going to stay for 2 weeks. During these weeks, we will be doing small changes like sunshade and closets for our home on wheels while trying to explore the vehicle to be able to solve technical problems that we can face with in our trip. We will be publishing the last events on blog whenever we can. With the hope the renewal brought by spring spread...
