I live in Izmir since 2000. I'm a music teacher and teach music children with autism. Also, I'm a founder and conductor of IZOT Izmir Autism Orchestra and Choir in Turkey.

I like travelling very very much. I started abroad traveling adventure by joining a folk music camp; folk dance festivals in Europe in 2007. Then I started to travel intensive Europe trip by bus.

I was an Erasmus student in Hungary in 2011. I lived in Szeged city for 5 months, it was a very good experiment for me.

In 2012 I won "Erasmus Dreamtrip" competition. We traveled Europe 25 days by car. It was an amazing trip.

Especially my biggest Couchsurfing experience was in 2014 summer. I traveled 52 days for my "The Sound of Autism" project. I met wonderful people in many Europe countries.

I like folk dances, traditional foods, exploring new cities, different cultures...

Traveling all over the world...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I teach music children with autism. They are very very clever. One of them asked me for my birthday. After my information, he said to me "Saturday" and I was shocked. He was amazing :)

In 2001, we did hitchhike 5 times more than 300 km with my 3 friends from university. It was my first crazy traveling adventure.

Since 2007 I organize Europe trip by bus with my friends. Every trip nearly 2 weeks and more than 10.000 km. Crazy traveling adventure going on...
