We discovered a great ghost town just outside of Fethiye Turkey! It’s called Kayakoy and … well, thanks to my absolutely crappy GoPro I only get to show you part of it. It flipped itself into time lapse mode which doesn’t record audio and then somehow managed to flip itself back about an hour into the adventure. So … might I suggest watching what I could film and then booking a flight to Turkey to catch what I couldn't show you? LOL!

Hi, I'm Rick and I (usually) live in a bus. Yup, I'm one of "them". My passion is living life just outside of the proverbial box. Adventure, wonder, and all that. (Yea, I'm a little bit ADHD and I kinda need constant stimulation).

So whatcha got here is just a man living out his dreams of being himself in the most uncommon ways possible. Come join me as I remain just a skoosh to the side of life's norms. Oh, and spoiler alert ... I may or may not be trying to get you to evaluate your own life and perhaps to peek in your own unique directions. You'll just have to watch and decide for yourself.

Location(s): KAYAKOY TURKEY, FETHIYE TURKEY

Kayaköy (also: Kaya or Livissi) is a neighborhood of the municipality and district of Fethiye, Muğla Province, Turkey.

In late antiquity the inhabitants of the region had become Christian and, following the East-West Schism with the Church of Rome in 1054 AD, they came to be called Greek Orthodox Christian. These Greek-speaking Christian subjects, and their Turkish-speaking Muslim Ottoman rulers, lived in relative harmony from the end of the turbulent Ottoman conquest of the region in the 14th century until the early 20th century. Following the Greco-Turkish War of 1919–1922, and the subsequent Treaty of Lausanne in 1923, the town's Greek Orthodox residents were exiled from Livissi.

The massacres of Greeks and other Christian minorities in the Ottoman Empire during World War I (1914–1918) led to the almost total depopulation of the town's 6,500 Greek inhabitants by 1918. These former inhabitants were deprived of their properties and became refugees in Greece, or they died in Ottoman forced labour battalions.

This video (and channel!) is targeted towards those interested in nomadic life, either via vanlife, bus life, skoolies, RVs, or Slow Travel. Here we experience the pleasures and struggles of a daily life lived just outside the norms.
