At 17, I was bitten by the travel bug: first, as a Turkish exchange student in a small town in western Pennsylvania. Later, my university degree, as an aerospace engineer, led to more travel and prompted studies of archeology and architectural history. I became a licensed tour guide for Turkey and also a tour manager for Turkey and Greece.

Dedicated my life to tourism as a profession, my main purpose has always been to create meaningful experiences, to raise awareness for different cultures and respect all that makes a destination differentand unique.

Beyond travel, my passions include photography, writing, and helping clients and friends explore other cultures.
