CURRENT MISSION

Dreamers of the cotton candy clouded land

ABOUT US

We are a couple from Istanbul, looking for fabulous adventures from skiing in the Nothern lights to flying over Grand Canyon. We have a to do list and we want to succeed all the items in it in the future.

Now, almost for one an a half year Gani has been living in Hamburg and Dilara is still in Istanbul. That's why we will be only available to show you around or meet up for a drink in two different cities guys!

PHILOSOPHY

As Sartre once said, everything that exists is born for no reason, carries on living through weakness, and dies by accident. Until this accident occurs, carpe diem is our way of living.
