Born in 1966 and raised on Turkish soil, I'm a graduate of English Language and Letters from the Literature Faculty of Hacettepe University, Ankara, Turkey.
I have long learnt to live with the diseases I was born with: hyperactivity and insatiable curiosity. My mother couldn’t leave me home alone, knowing I would turn it upside down in no time. Luckily, I have learnt to divert my energy into passions like travel and leading tours, photography, mountain biking and of course spending time with my two precious daughters.
I have been a professional tour guide since 1990, leading and lecturing Archaeological, Biblical and culinary tours. I have, over the years, given lectures on Turkish culture and history in community centers and Universities like SUNY, NY and Bates College, Ma, USA. I have also exhibited my photography in art galleries of Turkey.
