Watchkeeping Officer in İstanbul, Türkiye

Read my blog

I am İstanbul, Turkey based deck officer or so called 2nd officer.

As a childhood dream to be a captain, or somebody living at seas, it was something I could never suppress. After a little short talk (with an elder) about how hard it can be a captain, totally gave up my dreams when I was nine. Then I grew older, started to work on entirely different industry; architectural visualisation. But as junior visualizer, it was hard to find a job. Though I managed to work few months for a company called KAREPOR. But the owner wind up the company due to debts. After that moment, a totally different industry opened it's doors; "CALL CENTER", due to lack of workfield. After working four months, I could realized, it wasn't my cup of tea. Two more months worked after I decided to follow childhood dreams. From that moment on, still keep progressing as a captain to be. Or at least as a deck officer.

I'm fluent in English, trying to learn Spanish, and speak very little Russian and German.

Another tags possibly describe me are; #trance music, #technology, #books and #nature.
