About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore the unknown, inside and out

ABOUT ME

( I think I am seriously incapable of writing about myself as I've been trying to complete my profile since 2010)

I strive to be many things, patient, tolerant, empathetic, optimistic, relaxed, and curious. I have had the good fortune, not only to be where I am in life now, but also to have a chance to be around the company of people from all over the world whenever I want to be. Living to express and not to impress.

I was born in Hamburg and moved to Istanbul when I was five. Growing up where I used to greet dogs and cats on the street, moved to New York for college, studied Maritime, while being a man in uniform, then came Sydney part. . . which was a big journey for almost two years and now here I am in Tartu.

I am in to biology ( a lot ), marine biology, geology and of course the ocean, also about your country, your culture, your traditions, as much as you are willing to share... Sometimes new people are like good books, you open it .. enjoy it .. and keep these magic memories forever...

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: This list could go on forever... I am a big movie freak.

Music: Usually anything listen, dance and enjoy. But mostly rock.

Books: I like books that trigger memories of places that I love or hope for places I want to see. And stuff that gives me good fodder for debate

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Passed Atlantic Ocean in 18 days in which 10 of them was constant hardcore rocking with waves up to 15 meters and wind up to 50 miles.
