ABOUT ME

I was, for some time traveling on a bicycle through South America. In the redwood forests of Santa Cruz, California i met two crazy Guys living in tree houses´, and decided to join them on their quest to travel the entire length of the North and South American Continents by bicycle. We started up in Prudhoe Bay Alaska and reached Tierra del Fuego by dirt trails.
currently I live and work in Istanbul with my lovely wife Asl?

Interests

Lately it seems I try to pursue adventure with every waking breath. Biking, Kayaking, snowboarding, and mountain treking.
Playing music with friends or random strangers makes me happy. I´ve studied classical piano for eight years, but also try to adapt to jazz, rock, blues, or other jam styles. Also like climbing rocks and trees, learning new languages, having the kind of conversation that awakens me from a long unintentional day-dream, and cooking for people.
