Hi ✌️

I'm Oktar :) I am a software engineering student and a musician. I play many musical instruments and music is a big part of my life. While I had questions about life, I found myself on the road with my violin.

First, I traveled all over Turkey by hitchhiking. Then I started my Europe tour by hitchhiking and continued with Interrail.

In my world tour, I have visited 33 countries for now.

I love meeting new people, seeing new cultures and living in the lifestyle of that place while traveling. My perspective on life changes as I learn new stories and meet new lives.

I am in love with nature and animals. While I was traveling, I saw many beautiful landscapes. Sometimes I walked for days to feel life on a cliff in the middle of nature. Nature brings us back to ourselves.

As I love nature, I also love cities that smell of art. I love cities with beautiful architecture. I feel amazing playing the violin in the street around here.

I don't like dark cities full of factories, but that doesn't mean I won't go there either. I want to see everything good and bad, every city, every life and every culture.

I love meeting new people while traveling. I want to see as much life as possible, learn about new cultures, new ideas and thoughts. And it's so nice to have a nice friend on the other side of the world while traveling the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

🌎 I started traveling the world with my violin 2 years ago and I traveled almost all of Europe. I have visited 33 countries in total so far. I started my word tour without money. I earn money playing the violin while traveling.

🇳🇴 When I was in Norway, I went into the magnificent nature of Norway and walked in its mountains. I experienced the miracle of seeing the Aurora at night when I was completely in nature at the edge of the cliff

🇹🇷 I walked on the Lycian Way, which is a great hiking route in Turkey. While I was in the middle of nature, forest fires started to break out near me. As the water sources dried up due to the heat, I was climbing uphill for hours at a temperature higher than 40 degrees Celsius, and sometimes I could not find water to drink for a very long time. Despite all the difficulties, I saw some of the most beautiful landscapes I have seen in my life on this road.
