Come to Türkiye with FTI: Part 2

On the second day of the recent familiarization trip, FTI’s Kate flew to western Türkiye’s mountainous countryside.

First, they toured the ancient caves of the Phrygian Valley, where the earliest homes, tombs, and churches were built inside of natural rock formations. They were then welcomed by the local people with tea and traditional Turkish foods.

They continued onto an Afyon city tour, and saw the local shops, toured beautiful mosques, and visited an archaeological museum.

Come back tomorrow for Part 3!

In the fast-paced world of travel, responsiveness from your agency can make all the difference. At FTI, our priority is being available when you need us.

We offer prompt service, fast answers, and 24/7 emergency support.

Take it from our clients:

🗨️ "I probably asked [my advisor] a million questions over and over, yet every time she answered quickly, thoroughly, and with such patience and grace."

🗨️ "At midnight, I called your helpline. Within 5 minutes, the president called me"

🗨️ "FTI communicated with me often and clearly through the planning and payment process. They always returned our emails and phone calls quickly."

🗨️ "Consistently fast service. [FTI] seems to be big enough to get the job done and small enough to care about small accounts like us."

These past few months, we've had the opportunity to attend some amazing conferences including The Forum on Education Abroad, Community Colleges for International Development, and Michigan Association of International Educators.

Each event has been an incredible opportunity to engage with passionate professionals who share our commitment to fostering global education and creating transformative learning experiences.

We cherish every chance to connect with these communities, exchange ideas, and collaborate on initiatives that inspire growth and understanding across cultures!

Looking forward to attending some NAFSA Association of International Educators regional events in the Fall!
