I have been dreaming to go to Turkey from the age of 13years old. I am 50 years old now… My first overseas correspondence was with a Turkish guy which was my penfriend from the age of 13yrs to 18yrs Gunay Celik. I don’t nderstand why my heart has been yearning for Turkey…my obsession with the people n the country…maybe one day I wl know when I land on its soil..
