I am Barkın Yılmaz.graduated from maritime academy at 2020 and since then , I have been working at big boats as officer. So briefly. I am sailor. Until now, I traveled 16 countries and nearly 65 cities. Whenever there is a free time for me , I found myself on the round. And I did it with very low budget thanks to hitchhiking couchsurfing, some voluntering job and amazing helpful people.
Genarally during winter, I try to go camping or climbing activities at weekends, During summer, I always try to travel for a long time like 3 months. I believe that Saving memories about travel and share them with other people is most important factor amd inspired for people who wants to travel. Also Talking about our travel between each other and sharing our memories are so enjoyable. Thats why I always want to travel and meet people who are from different countries and different cultures and host them During I stay in Istanbul. Also I believe that, If The World were a book, We would need to turn all pages.
So lets meet and share our travel memories and help each other guys.
