i simply wish to understand, to learn, and to be a guest in this world i travel. after working and saving i quit my job. i finally started traveling full-time which was my childhood dream. however seeing the world has made me painfully aware of my own privilege. the struggles i face on the road are voluntary while the inequality around me is real. it doesn't feel bohemian anymore. yet i have a big passion for understanding the world, the people and the cultures through travel. so i’m trying my hardest not to contribute to that neocolonial dynamic and just to be a respectful observer. — i’m a junior medical doctor who lives in çanakkale. for me it is the most beautiful city in the world. feel free to ask me anything about çanakkale or türkiye! i would love to tell you about my culture, give travel tips. i hope you will have a great experience in here. my boyfriend lives in istanbul. i often visit him. if you come for a trip to istanbul, maybe we can meet there too. please be aware that i prioritize hosting women and queer individuals as i want to provide a safe space for them.

two people being able to trust each other without any self-interest feels like a beautiful resistance against the capitalist world . it is amazing to be able to find common ground with people who have a passion for discovery.
