Content creator Chad Jones recently checked off Türkiye from his travel bucket list, and he can’t stop raving about his unforgettable journey. Known for his viral TikTok dance videos with his family, Chad has now taken his talents global by combining travel and dance in his adventures around the world.
His latest escapade led him to the stunning landscapes of Türkiye, where he documented every moment on social media. In a candid Q&A session, Chad shares his thoughts on his Türkiye experience and how he’s bringing his signature moves to new horizons.
Türkiye has always been a dream destination for many travelers, and Chad reveals that it has been on his travel bucket list since childhood. The famous balloon parades and the diverse cuisine were major draws for him, and when he had the opportunity to fly business class, he knew it was finally time to visit Türkiye.
One of the most surprising things for Chad was the amount of snow in Türkiye. Flying over the snow-covered landscapes provided him with a new perspective on the country’s beauty. Cappadocia, known as one of the most photographed places in the world, exceeded Chad’s expectations in person. The breathtaking atmosphere and surroundings left him in awe from the moment he arrived.
When asked about a must-do experience in Türkiye, Chad highlights the hot air balloons in Cappadocia, even though he didn’t get to try it himself. As a foodie, Chad’s culinary highlight in Türkiye was the delicious döner kebabs and koftas, which he found to be absolutely incredible.
For the best golden hour photo in Cappadocia, Chad recommends Yank Evleri, the hotel where he stayed. The view during golden hour was truly magical and postcard-worthy, providing him with a dreamy experience.
The biggest cultural impression Türkiye left on Chad was the warmth and friendliness of the people. From the airport staff to the locals in every city he visited, Chad encountered a welcoming energy that made his experience even more special.
If Chad could bring one thing back from Türkiye, it would be the koftas. He wishes he could have taken some home, but the in-flight meals on Turkish Airlines ensured he had an incredible food experience even on his journey back.
Despite a funny moment of getting lost with another creator during his trip, Chad thoroughly enjoyed his time in Türkiye. If he were to visit again, he would make sure to try even more local food spots upon landing.
Chad also shares his top travel tips for Türkiye, including planning Cappadocia experiences in advance, indulging in local Turkish cuisine, staying at a cave hotel in Cappadocia, capturing moments at sunrise and sunset, exploring beyond Cappadocia, and engaging with the local culture by learning basic Turkish phrases.
Overall, Chad’s journey to Türkiye was a mix of breathtaking landscapes, delicious cuisine, and warm hospitality, making it an unforgettable experience that he can’t wait to share with his followers.
