SERIES SYNOPSIS:
Hi, I’m Michaela Guzy, founder of the content house, OhThePeopleYouMeet focusing on PEOPLE, PLACES + PURPOSES. We create + produce this exclusive series, “OhThePeopleYouMeet with Michaela Guzy”, which shifts the traditional show model from host to curator, in order to empower our local hosts to share their own stories + promote inclusivity.

I curate REAL PEOPLE who you can actually meet when traversing the globe — including local chefs + winemakers to artists, djs, changemakers and even the legendary Dr. Jane Goodall. My focus is how to go sustainably + who to know when you are there.

Each episode I will take digital nomads and armchair travelers alike on a journey of a lifetime to immerse themselves in the characters, culture + cuisine that will forever transform your perspective and give a true sense of place.

EPISODE SYNOPSIS:
In part two of this episode, we’ll journey. through the bustling streets of Istanbul, to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Ephesus and onto Cappadocia.

We’ve been invited into the private home of a famous historian and art collector to dig into this layered past. We’ll meet globally recognized designers whose creations are inspired by Byzantine and Ottoman styles.

Turkish flavor profiles date back to the ancient spice trade route. In Instanbul we’ll take a spice taste and baklava rolling test! On Turkiye’s Western Coast we’ll take a cooking class in a remote village stuck in time. With food comes wine which Romans were known to enjoy – we’ll taste our way through these storied vines.

We’ll hot air balloon over Cappadocia to meet cave dwellers for lunch in their home cave and learn to make pottery at its origin.

Join me for the Turkish trifecta: natural wonder, cultural heritage and oh, the people you’ll meet!

Pack a bag + journey on with us,
@MichaelaGuzy + The @OTPYM Traveling Team
