ABOUT ME

Popular,

I am Oytun Mertol. I am a real estate broker, tour guide, meteorological engineer, French teacher, YouTuber, Beyblade collecter, video producer and Beyblade tournament référée.

I have been running Istanbul Pub crawls since November 2013 and whoever comes to Istanbul is welcome for my pub crawl. 😎

I live in Kadıköy, one of the most central towns in Istanbul. I love Beyblades, parties, swimming, travelling, cycling, learning new languages, playing soccer and basket-ball, dancing, singing. 😎

Please don't interact if you have any purposes other than traveling together, sharing experiences and learning new cultures. This is a safe platform for everyone and "no" means "no". I am definitely not gay and if I ask a boy to hang out or ask to stay at his his place that means I consider this person a travel buddy, a brother, not someone to sleep with. I am always ready to share Istanbul and Turkiye tips for you and all I want is to have a FRIEND in my new travel destination. 😎
