Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Travel at unbeaten tracks and meet new friends with the same passion for travelling
ABOUT ME
I am a marine biologist working at Istanbul University, Institute of Marine Sciences as a researcher. I love being near the sea, either diving, surfing, sailing or simply laying down on the coast and watching. I am also a CMAS Diving Instructor and a PADI Dive Master. Other than the sea, my passions are for travelling and photography. I am trying to develop a second career as a microstock photographer that would enable me to take a career break and travel more freely!
PHILOSOPHY
There is only one life!

Music, Movies, and Books
My favourite book is by Irving Stone, a biography of Jack London "SAILOR ON HORSEBACK" such a remarkable life, full of adventure and struggle!! For beach time I go for novels such as of Wilbur Smith and Clive Cussler, books that you do not have to think hard, but live the adventure (good for relaxing).
I prefer Jazz lately but my music preference is highly broad and I enjoy any kind that suits my mood at that time. Besides scientific books I enjoy photography books.
