Turkey;

My sweet country...
Whether you are an art and history buff, an archaeology nut or a nature lover, enjoy browsing through markets or going diving, the different regions of Turkey offer endless possibilities all year round. Each area has its own personality, history, landscape and even cuisine, and with so much on offer to visitors it is not surprising that one trip to Turkey is never enough.

Surrounded by four different seas, Turkey is a beach paradise with over 8000 km of sunny strips of sand. It also has an abundance of plant and wildlife species that can be enjoyed while camping or trekking in the many national parks which are dotted around the country.

Russia

BORdering from Europe to Korea/Japan. such a huge country to see many things. at first glance it seems OK; but temperature below 0 (sometimes -20 even in Siberia -65/70) makes every plan upside down for a tourist. So best and only time to visit this Federation is July or August- even June may not be hot enough to enjoy your trip here. despite everything I love Russia so much; but i don't know the reason for making me love it, although I had very boring days when working there.
and the police; very rude, looking for any potential to get bribe from tourists by finding out any unnecessary, absurd excuses to reach his aim...

Kenya

My working place; hard to survive but people have to..
JAMBO Kenya;
Due to corruption in Politics, long-period colonization experienced and other reasons, it seems far to live in welfare for this very friendly nation. but you can find anyhing here; at the same moment; it can be flood in West and Central provinces; the others can be suffering from drought. here you experience Safari(in both land & sea, even air); trekking over there, camping, breath-taking beaches, islands etc... HUNDRENDS waiting to be explored in this fantastic country.
the major towns to be visited:
Nairobi, Mombasa, Lamu (more details available in my Kenya ALBUM)

PS: There's a big security problem, thus it's safer not to walk either alone or in group after sunset (extremely dangerous without a transportation) as anyone outside can potentially be disturbing you like my friends experienced this only 100 metres ahead their home (especially in Nairobi- but Lamu and some parts of Mombasa- second biggest town- are very peaceful unlike the capital)

In conclusion; Tourism forms a vital foundation for the country's economy and is highlights two of Kenya's most unique features: wildlife and beaches
