    I can voluntarily share some of my knowledge and experiences with some people in different countries and I can learn from these people, as well by touching their lives . All I want is to live life as it is and see where it takes me on this life trip.
    In the meantime, I have an outgoing , friendly, sensitive , open minded personality . I can be a part of teamwork and I can teach my knowledge. I studied tourism and hotel services in Bilkent Uni. In Turkey, studied integrated marketing in Golden Gate uni. in San Francisco and studied Culinary Arts in Le Cordon Bleu. I worked in all F & B departments at Istanbul Hilton, the Renaissance hotel sales department, has worked in several restaurants in San Francisco and in Turkey. In addition to these, I got Thai cuisine courses in Chang Mai , Thailand too. I also built up some restaurants’ menu and gave them culinary consultancy. Now I am trying to live my life as it is as a backpacker wanderer and to share all these experiences and knowledge in the different countries with the local people all over the world :))
