Sores Dogan : A Glacial Opportunity


Back home in Alaska, while working for Glacier Park Resort, the opportunity for some informal guiding appeared and Berkley jumped at the chance. She found herself on the ice, and not long after, working for NOVA Riverrunners, a river rafting and adventure company. Her educational background gave her the confidence to become more involved and to show visitors her glacier.
“Being on the glacier is like another world,” said Berkley, who has guided families and even seniors past crevices, moulins (large vertical holes in the ice) and ice lakes. Teenagers with their “I’m too cool for this” attitude are Berkley’s favorites.

Sores Dogan : Ephesus Kusadasi Turkey


Turkey is the largest country in Asia Minor. It has an extremely varied nature, diverse climate and topography. Culturally and economically this is a country of great extremes. The contrast between the highly developed and modern cities and backward and conservative province is incredible. The country ranks among the 20 most developed countries in the world, but the benefits are very unevenly distributed. On the one hand are the dynamics, innovation and modern style of life at the metropolis Istanbul, on the other hand is the province in which at many places the lifestyle is generally without changes in the last 100 or 200 years.

Sores Dogan : Mount Nemrut


Turkey’s culture and history, including sites like Mount Nemrut, is what makes the country so attractive today.
Hip, cultural Istanbul is where many travellers start their voyages of discovery. Like New York isn’t America, Istanbul isn’t really Turkey, but a state in it’s own right. Unlike New York, Istanbul has 3,000 years of civilisation to inspire herself with. On the same latitude as Rome (and also built on seven hills), this was the perfect capital for the Emperor Constantine to establish the Eastern Roman empire from, just when old Rome was tearing itself to pieces.
