I was born on a cold January day in 1990 in Istanbul, where I was raised until I turned 17. My education began at the private Doğuş schools, encompassing elementary, middle, and high school. Upon graduating from high school, I moved to Canada to study English. During my second year in Canada, I decided to pursue a degree in psychology. However, after three years, I realized that psychology wasn't my true calling. At the age of 22, in 2012, I returned to Turkey.
Luck struck me the day after my plane landed in Istanbul. A family friend informed me about a job opening at their travel agency. Thanks to my background in psychology and strong English skills, I quickly became a people person at the agency, thriving in the tourism industry.
Since childhood, I have always been fascinated by history and geography. It was my childhood dream to become a historian. Being social and outgoing, I naturally enjoyed helping and guiding people. With these passions combined, it was clear that my destiny was to become a tour guide.
To formalize my career path, I enrolled in university to study tour guidance, completing the program in two years. In 2015, I finally achieved my goal of becoming a professional tour guide. But I didn't stop there—I wanted to fulfill my childhood dream of becoming a historian. I enrolled in university once again to study history, balancing work during the summers with studying in the winters. In 2021, after four years of hard work, I graduated as a historian.
I am excited to share my country, my city, and our rich culture and history with you. Let's embark on a journey together where I can show you the beauty of my homeland and the stories that make it unique!
