I was born in Istanbul, Turkey. I first earned my bachelor’s degree in English as a Second Language Teaching, then followed my heart into a Master’s in Science Tourism Guidance Studies — because let’s be honest, showing off my town is my real calling. After graduating, the Republic of Türkiye’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism handed me my official license… and the keys to share this incredible city with the world.

Being a licensed guide here — it’s not just a name tag. You need at least one university degree, a foreign language proficiency exam under your belt, and a deep knowledge of Türkiye’s cultural treasures. In short: we know our history, we speak your language, and we make sure you feel at home.

I cut my guiding teeth with Turkish Airlines, running Touristanbul for international travelers on layovers — turning a few spare hours into lifelong memories. These days, I work as a freelance tour guide, interpreter, translator, teach English as a foreign language, and lead private and group tours all over Istanbul. Whether it’s the hidden gems or the headline monuments, I don’t just show you the city… I make you fall in love with it.

I believe that a strong mind should be carried by a strong body — which is why you’ll often find me in the gym.

I also help individuals unlock their full potential through customized fitness programs, sustainable nutrition strategies, and mindset coaching. My approach focuses on building long-term healthy habits, improving physical performance, and fostering mental resilience. Whether your goal is fat loss, muscle gain, or overall wellness, I provide structured guidance, accountability, and motivation every step of the way.

I look forward to meeting you!
