Hey there! I’m Mert 🌍✈️
A proud İstanbullu (that’s someone from Istanbul!) with a passion for bridging cultures, sharing stories, and exploring the world. By day, I work as an engineer (since 2019!) and dive into my master’s in entrepreneurship & economics by night—though I’ll always make time for a good chat over Turkish coffee or a sunset cruise on the Bosphorus!

⚽ Sports – From neighborhood football matches to hiking Istanbul’s hidden trails.
🎸 Music – Ask me for local indie band recommendations or jam to Anatolian rock classics.
✈️ Aviation – Fun fact: I’ll happily geek out over plane trivia or the best window-seat views!

I’d love to host adventurous souls or connect with fellow travelers. Whether it’s sharing künefe desserts, showing you my favorite baklava spots, or debating startup ideas, I’m all about authentic exchanges. Let’s swap travel tales or plan your Istanbul adventure—this city has endless secrets to share!

Looking forward to meeting you – hoş geldiniz!
