The Way Back: Turkiye | Expedia

3 x 8-10’ documentary, 2025
Role: Senior Producer

The Way Back: Türkiye is a premium travel documentary series following Olympic gold medalist Kelsey Cook as she explores Türkiye across three weeks in 2025. The film captures the country’s energy, beauty, and contrasts through a modern, grounded lens.

From the buzz of Istanbul — its bazaars, Bosphorus, street food, music, and cats — to the surreal landscapes of Cappadocia with its rock formations and hot air balloons. The journey ends in Bodrum, where blue seas, fresh seafood, and life on the water offer a slower pace. Along the way, Kelsey connects with local culture and everyday moments. Made in partnership with the Türkiye Tourism Board, The Way Back: Türkiye marks a new chapter of branded storytelling for Expedia.
