I had an interest in history and nature since my childhood, and my journey into tour guiding started from scouting and travels with my family. I studied in Ankara University and have been a licensed tour guide since 2009. I have since been happily working with mostly small groups with a special interest, especially nature and culture activities such as hiking, botany, birding, or visiting historical sites around Anatolia. I worked with Explore almost since the very beginning of my career.
