I love to share everything about my country with my travellers, and it is a big plus if they are interested in my routine life details. How we live, how we eat and drink, how we look after animals,  how lifestyles difference between different areas of Turkey. I love to take them to places that only the locals know and to  introduce them to local people. I love to share Turkish recipes too as I am a big fan of eating and drinking! I also love to share our region's rich traditions, history and nature.

I also love to listen to our guest's life stories, working with Explore giving me the chance to meet so many people from different places, share our life experiences, hopes, dreams and even disappointments sometimes. In some ways Explore brings the world to me and I hope to share my story to the world,  in little steps! And sometimes people come to these kind of holidays to share about their life so I listen them as well. 

What are you most proud of in your country?
 I would proud of our deep culture of hospitality and the wide and amazing Turkish Cuisine.

What do travellers find most surprising when they visit?
While it depends on expectations, but Turkey is a country that manages to be ultra modern and at the same time preserve traditional life, in a very harmonious way.  People are not always expecting the greenness and the mountains, and the history that you stumble upon round every corner. Also Turkish people are hugely compassionate to animals! The cats and dogs live like kings.
