I am Turkish man living on one of the islands of İstanbul. I am a retired photographer. Now I am dealing with hobby business. I run a small shop and repair service regarding model train business in Türkiye. Especially on Märklin, Trik, LGB, Viessmann, Vollmer, Kibri, Faller, Seuthe products.

I ride bicycle and motorcycle all over the country and abroad. I like train journeys everywhere. I am a nature lover. I like spending my time in the nature. I am also an animalist. I love dogs and cats. I had grown up three dogs in my life. One was a stray dog, second was a terrier and the third one was a Golden Retriever. Dino passed away in March 2024.

I hosted more than one hundred people from all around the World. I am also a member of WarmShowers community. I am calm and quiet and respectful. I am an occasional smoker, I mean if you smoke, I smoke with you. If you don't smoke, I don't smoke even outside. but I drink alcohol. I eat everything (including pork) but I am diabetic. So, I prefer less carbohydrates. I am not a good cook. But I can cook some delicious Turkish meals and deserts of course.
