Going to Turkey This Weekend

This Friday I will be flying to Istanbul for a nine-day visit to Turkey. I've been invited to speak at a forum organized by the Open Society Institute, which will take place in Istanbul Monday through Wednesday of next week. After spending a little time relaxing in Istanbul, I'll then travel to Lake Van, in Turkey's southeastern Kurdish region, to visit a friend for the weekend before flying home on April 3.

This will be my first overseas trip this year, and my third visit to Turkey. I'm really excited about it - if I were forced to name my favorite country in the world to visit, Turkey would certainly be a finalist. I plan to blog, podcast and vlog as often as possible, so please drop in and follow along... -andy
