About Me

''Hello,
I am passionate about almost everything, constantly seeking the beauty in every little thing and eager to learn as much as possible about various subjects. I enjoy reading books, including science, history, literature, classics, and physics, which often serve as a source of motivation for me. I'm also a sports enthusiast, particularly in football and futsal. I have a deep passion for travel, camping, and hitchhiking. In addition to my adventurous spirit.
One thing I love to discuss with anyone is travel experiences, and I highly value honesty in these conversations. I believe that being open and truthful is crucial in today's world, even though sadly, not many people are aware of its importance. I always enjoy offering travel advice and sharing my experiences with others.

"Since 2012, I have been using this application to travel and host many friends from different cultures and nations. If I were to sum it up in one word, I would say it's awesome."
Your enthusiasm for travel and hosting people from diverse backgrounds is evident, and your passion for clean energy and renewable energy research is commendable. Enjoy your continued adventures and share your experiences with others!

advice istanbul for new visitors:

Istanbul is a vibrant and historic city with a wealth of attractions and experiences to offer new visitors. Here are some must-visit places and tips for getting the most out of your trip to Istanbul:

Hagia Sophia: This iconic structure has a rich history as both a cathedral and a mosque. It's a masterpiece of architecture and art, so don't miss it.

Blue Mosque (Sultan Ahmed Mosque): Known for its stunning blue-tiled interior, the Blue Mosque is a symbol of Istanbul. Remember to dress modestly when visiting mosques and follow the guidelines.

Topkapi Palace: Explore the former residence of Ottoman sultans, which now serves as a museum. The palace features incredible architecture and houses a vast collection of historical artifacts.

Grand Bazaar: Shop for souvenirs, jewelry, textiles, spices, and more at one of the world's oldest and largest covered markets. Be prepared to haggle with the vendors.

Spice Bazaar (Egyptian Bazaar): Another bustling market, this one specializes in spices, sweets, and Turkish delights. It's a sensory delight.

Bosphorus Cruise: Take a boat tour along the Bosphorus Strait to see the city from a different perspective. You'll pass by historic landmarks and enjoy beautiful views.

Basilica Cistern: Visit this underground water reservoir with its impressive columns and mystical atmosphere. It's a unique experience.

Galata Tower: Climb to the top of this medieval tower for panoramic views of Istanbul. It's particularly beautiful at sunset.

Istiklal Avenue: Explore this bustling pedestrian street filled with shops, restaurants, cafes, and street performers. It's the heart of modern Istanbul.

Süleymaniye Mosque: Often less crowded than the Blue Mosque, this mosque offers beautiful architecture and peaceful surroundings.

Chora Church (Kariye Museum): Admire the stunning mosaics and frescoes that depict biblical scenes in this historic church-turned-museum.

Eat Turkish Cuisine: Don't miss out on trying local dishes like kebabs, baklava, Turkish delight, and Turkish tea or coffee.

Hamams: Experience traditional Turkish bathhouses for relaxation and a taste of local culture. The Cagaloglu Hamami and Ayasofya Hurrem Sultan Hamam are famous options.

Asian Side: Take a ferry to the Asian side of Istanbul, where you can explore Kadikoy and Uskudar. These areas offer a more relaxed atmosphere and great views of the European side.

Hike the Princes' Islands: Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and hike around the car-free Princes' Islands. Büyükada is the largest and most popular.

Remember to respect local customs and traditions while visiting Istanbul, and consider learning a few basic Turkish phrases to enhance your experience. Enjoy your trip to this incredible city!
