Hi! I'm Aydan from Istanbul, Türkiye.

I've always been addicted to traveling; even when I was playing Tomb Raider at 12, I was thinking about going to places just like Lara did.

I studied fine arts, specializing in art management, and worked mostly in museums and art galleries. I lived and worked in Matera - Italy, for the 2019 European Capital of Culture and in Estonia for European Capital of Culture 2024

I'm an art lover who takes photos with my analogue camera. When I get tired of the heaviness of my camera, I switch to my iPhone to capture the best moments. I learned printing techniques in Estonia from a master, and I really enjoy playing with colors and chemicals while printing.

I've been playing the violin since I was 12, and music has always been an inseparable part of my life.

Here to meet people from around the world, sharing cultures, and building connections. Let’s create meaningful connections through our shared love for art, travel, and music. Looking forward to the journey ahead!
