A Café of Connections: Finding Inspiration in Unexpected Places

Chance encounters during travels often reveal new worlds and perspectives, and meeting Isa Seyran was one such experience. On a visit to my daughter, we discovered Isa\’s Mediterranean coffee truck, nestled in a serene courtyard. Isa, an artist at heart and a passionate lover of poetry, dreams of turning his café into a hub for artistic collaborations and deep discussions. His story, from the slums of Istanbul to waiting on dignitaries in America, is as inspiring as his vision. Isa\’s café is a warm, welcoming space where minds and hearts connect, a much-needed refuge in our disconnected world.

Presence

Suddenly, Leo stops and stares into the distance. My eyes follow his gaze. There, basking in the rays of the sun streaming through the thicket, stands a stag, aglow.

As It Is

What a marvel of nature! Every petal, every leaf, every stem flawlessly created in a few, simple strokes with ease by the greatest artist that lives.

Warped

Filled with laughter, warmth of close friends and the palpable excitement of my furry baby to explore new terrain – one couldn’t ask for more.

What draws me to a place are its people and their lore. Scenic beauty- the rolling hills, cascading waters and the fresh mountain air are but the icing on the cake; what makes up the rich layers underneath are the stories.
