I’ve completed my master’s degree in tourism, with a background in regional studies. I'm interested in culture, philosophy, music, and photography, and I often reflect on sociology and human stories. Currently based in Antalya, Turkey, I have been working as a tourism photographer for a long time, and I’m now continuing this work in the Maldives as well. Bringing photography and tourism together is a meaningful combination for me—uniting both my academic field and my artistic spirit

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I'm a photographer who loves learning from real people and their stories. It’s a great way to connect, share, and understand different cultures beyond books or digital world — especially while exploring Central Asia and Middle East and Maldives during my journey.

Interests

I'm really into music — I play the violin, bass guitar, and several other instruments close to a dozen. I'm also passionate about 35mm film photography and enjoy collecting old Soviet cameras. There's something special about capturing moments the analog way.
