It has always been a stressful process to me to write about myself.

After my graduation I've lived in various cities, big and small ones and for long and short periods and I eventually ended up settling down in my hometown. After settled down I've started my travels to abroad as I had almost completed my trips to Anatolia ( but still there are lots of paths to take. )

I believe one of my pictures can be more expressive than words about me. Although there is not enough light in the photo it's including almost everything I like; such as summer, aegean sea, olive trees, a white t-shirt with an ancient figure and a smile.

Also here is my instagram account: mertbozdemir2

In conclusion, mentioning about ourselves in order to create a profile is boring that's why I asked my best friend if he could tell one sentence that will describe me and he said "Walks and talks a lot. Sometimes both. "

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have nothing for this title. One minute! I have been at the westernmost point of the Asian continent by hitch-hiking. May be it works.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love camping so I can help with pleasure in order to find a cool camping place in seven region of Anatolian geography.
Also I can teach basic turkish and some useful expressions.
With what I mentioned above I would be very pleased if someone tell me stories about the memory of the city or country where they come from.
While all this is happening we will share our time, which is the most precious thing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

First and foremost, a good conversation. Okay, I know it's written attorney on my profile but I am not that much boring, no I don't think so.
