I am an Istanbul based art/history student that likes to travel a lot. I do not like to root in any place, but enjoy my time here in Istanbul. I do any kind of crafts and arts. I enjoy cinema and raising myself as a cinematographer. I learn rock climbing and mountaneering; I am obsessed with rocks, mountains and great hiking experiences.

I am a solo traveler. I enjoy my me time a lot. BUT… I am mostly open to visiting places together, open to recommendations and making new friends who enjoy traveling is awesome.

I like to live my life as it was a dream that I won’t actually wake up a couple minutes later. I like to spend time with both my loved ones, new people and by myself. So I am travelling to get to know myself better, get creative on the road and catch that joy of life.

Music, Movies, and Books

I’m a huge fan of cinema and also a filmmaker. Would like to talk about films or maybe watch one together. I value the experiences of cinema, would like to spend some time with other enthusiasts and see some films in other salons around the world.

I also read and write a lot, am really into literature. I will be carrying mant books with me, even when I’m backpacking.

I do like rock music yet don’t worry i’m a quiet guest :) I like to talk about music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’ve been the assistant of one of my country’s most popular singer for a year, that was such an experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a history student and anything belongs to your personal or national history would be interesting for me to hear. Your stories means a lot to me and I am happy to tell you from me and my culture.

I am also an art enthusiast so I would be talking about cinema and other art forms with a great joy. I will be carrying my art supplies with me all the time. We can also paint together, visit some art galleries or museums.
