“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.”
Lao Tzu

Hi there!

My name is Emin and I am from Türkiye. As a child, I was fascinated with the world and would often spend hours poring over an Atlas, National Geographic magazines and classic encyclopedias to learn about countries, capitals, flags, mountains, rivers and world history. This passion has continued to this day.

I have had the opportunity to live in various countries, including Germany, Estonia, Slovenia and Poland, for internships, exchange programs and volunteering. I have worked in Istanbul and remotely for Italy and am currently learning Spanish in Barcelona and working for a communication agency focused on environmental projects.
