Where the hell am I? 😂
A few hours earlier, I picked up a group of strangers in Downtown and drove them north.
As usual, somewhere along the way, the question came up:
“Where are you from?”
And you know me… that question usually leads somewhere. 😂
There were laughs, I introduced them to my little game, and before long we were really getting to know each other.
We talked about life, family, the future, culture, religion, Türkiye and America. I learned a lot about them, they learned a lot about me, and I answered their questions about my story and the show I’ve been trying to build around something I’ve experienced over and over again:
what can happen when strangers actually talk to each other.
I dropped them off and thought that was the end of it.
Five minutes later, my phone rang.
“Baha, come back.” 😂
So I did.
Plans changed. We headed back toward Austin. A few unexpected stops, a lot more conversation and laughter — and eventually I found myself standing here, looking out over the city with some beautiful people who had been complete strangers only a few hours earlier.
You never know where a conversation can take you.
And yeah… I know. It’s been a while.
But every day I’m still meeting people. I’m telling them my story, they’re telling me theirs, and somehow more and more of you keep finding your way here and following along.
I see you.
I’m still figuring this out. Still putting the pieces together and working every day to find the right way to bring On the Road with Baha to life.
So to everyone who’s been here for a while — and everyone I’ve met along the way who recently decided to come along for the ride — thank you.
It means more to me than you probably realize.
I’m working on it every day. I promise.
We’ll get there. ❤️
You’re On the Road with Baha.
