Oh So Pom

An American 🇺🇸 in Turkey 🇹🇷, capturing the beautiful details of life. I create slow, atmospheric videos that showcase the beauty of everyday life in Turkey... from stone villages and the Aegean coast to ancient ruins and historic sites. Through stunning visuals and gentle music, I share what Turkey feels like rather than telling you what to see. You’ll also find peeks at rural village life, traditional recipes, island trips to Greece, European travels, and the occasional appearance of my French bulldog, Fig. If you'd like to see more from my perspective, as an American living in Turkey, please consider subscribing to my YouTube channel!
