I was born in Antalya. I studied to be a teacher of the English language. I taught English for some time, but eventually went into tourism. I moved to Izmir and got my guiding license from the Tourism Ministry in 1997 after successfully completing the professional tourist guide course there. My first job as a guide was in Cappadocia, an interesting region of central Anatolia. Later I formed a partnership with American and Turkish partners and opened a travel agency there after exploring and walking through nearly every valley, cave, church and underground city. I also began to guide in other regions of Turkey. We moved the agency to Istanbul in the year 2000. I strolled through Istanbul street by street and also completed my knowledge by traveling extensively all over Turkey on research.I have enjoyed touring many people during my time as a professional guide and I see each person as an individual. I continue to look forward to meeting those who want to learn about our wonderful country and I hope to get the chance to share it with you.
