Favorite WOW Travel Moment: Eating birthday cake and sipping wine on a new friend’s balcony in Istanbul, talking history, politics, and travel as the boats floated by on the Bosphorus. He’d broken a toe and was stranded at home, so our mutual friend suggested we bring the party to him. It was unexpected and brilliant, and I learned more about the city that night than during the whole of the rest of the trip. It’s always the people for me.
