𝔽𝕆𝕃𝕃𝕆𝕎𝕄𝔼𝕋𝕆 𝕆ℝ𝕀𝔾𝕀ℕ𝔸𝕃𝕊 #Followmeto Istanbul Suleymaniye Mosque. That trip was my our one to Istanbul and We were absolutely blow away on so many levels. First time you come you might get a bit lost because of the size of the city and places you can visit – but you have to comeback several times to feel its energy and understand it. Photo was taken around 6 years ago and was my first time seeing a mosque of that size. @natalyosmann #следузамной в Стамбул в мечеть Сулеймана Великолепного. У мечети четыре минарета, которые означают, что султан Сулейман Великолепный — четвёртый падишах по счёту после завоевания Стамбула. Та поездка была нашей первой в Стамбул и этот город навсегда остался в наших сердцах.

Took a quick pit stop in Bangkok for 2 nights before heading north to Chiang Rai. You’ve probably seen the news about Bangkok being so smoggy that they had to shut schools – I could definitely feel the smog more than usual but to be honest it didn’t feel too crazy. Here’s a shot of me inhaling the smog from the 56th floor of the Lebua hotel 😷 swipe across for the vid! I’d just like to point out that me doing stuff like this isn’t encouraging others to do the same. I know my own capabilities – if you see someone doing backflips off a huge cliff it doesn’t mean you should do it too. Unless of course you know you’re capable then it’s your choice🤘🏼if you’re using this crazy thing called the internet then I’d hope you’re responsible enough to know not to copy every single thing you see online.
