ABOUT ME

Hi there, l'm Mert. I can describe myself as a real nature lover who is tired of living in huge cities such as İstanbul. So, I moved to a lovely Mediterranian seaside town, bought a sailing boat and started to live as a full-time sailor/sailing instructor. I am operating my sailing boat to organize skippered sailing vacations and sailing courses. I am a ***CMAS diver, snowboarder, biker, rider of dirt bikes and runner…
I like to meet new people from various cultures and hear their stories to discover new ways of lives and see new perspectives. I also occasionally look for a partner to sail with my boat...

PHILOSOPHY

Life is beatiful with new surprizes waiting at the corner and it is worth trying to do what you really want to do, not necessarily the things you are told to do.

I like this saying:
"Once freedom is exploded in the soul of a man, gods have no more power over him."
Also: "I need vitamine SEA!" :)
