People named me "El Turco Loco" while I was in India! So imagine, thou shalt have fun, only the fun, and nothing but the fun.

People from 38 countries visited my place so far.

Some people join your life for a day or two. But particular ones influence your life by giving you the best present ever, good moments to remember. These moments accumulate and become our memories. So you'll remember your good moments and keep smiling all the time. I just want to meet as many people as I can. So I remember the moments I enjoyed and keep smiling all my life.

If you read the paragraphs below, you’ll realize that you’ll have a good time over here.

Do not consider me as a ‘tourist guide’ even though I know a lot about my city, my country, and the planet. I am not saying that I won’t take you to the places, I actually like to do it a lot. But if your wish is to understand “how would it be if I live as a resident in Istanbul”, you are more than welcome. So send me a request if you are getting lost on the streets as the first thing you do to understand, feel, live, absorb a city. I can offer you that feeling like a ‘life guide’.

But anyway, I also stayed with many hosts, and one of my priority was to find a place to sleep while sending requests. But the moment someone accepted me, I began to think about the experiences I’ll live with that person. So I know the feeling. You will have a bed to crash mate, that’s totally cool.

If you would like to learn more about me, read the rest.

Let me tell you my story in 3 words: “Internet Geek / Backpacker”. Yes, I called myself a geek. According to Urban Dictionary, geek is referred to as “An outwardly normal person who has taken the time to learn technical skills.” Well, I’ve spent most of my time on the internet in my life and now I am working as a digital marketer.

I told you that I am also a backpacker. I adore backpacking especially when I'm on foot (aka hiker). I traveled all around Europe, America, Asia many times and all these travels shaped my personality. “Being kind and respectful” are the most important values in my life.

I hiked El Camino de Santiago in Spain (850 km - 29 days).

Ultimate travel goal: Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. From Mexico to Canada, 4270 km, 5 months.

I’m a digital marketer. If you Google “digital marketing” in my language, you see me (my page) on top of the search results.

Up until recently, I was running the digital marketing activities of the largest tattoo brand on Earth. In a year, I sold 260k tattoos. FYI, I don't have any 😄

Building my own agency these days. So I think I can have more surfers around.
