I'm starting a trip across the Greek Islands (currently in Bodrum, Turkey!) and hoping to make it Athens in a few weeks as I volunteer around the islands and make amazing memories!

Description

Helllooooo! My name is Ege, pronounced like "reggae" without the 'r' I am an adventure seeker, amateur philosopher, even more amateur photographer and somewhat experienced traveler.

My goal in life is to travel as much as I can and be a productive member of the community I am a part of. I love meeting new people and learning new languages (I currently speak English and Turkish fluently and Italian and Spanish at a high proficiency level!)

I believe in community, shared sympathy, open-mindedness and having a big heart! I love trying new things, being adventurous and taking risks, and I invite everyone to do the same!

I am a college graduate from a small university in the US with degrees in Art History and Philosophy.

Since graduating from college in 2019, I've been working at different NGOs around the world and I am now traveling full time, starting in my hometown of Bodrum, Turkey in the direction of the Greek Islands and mainland Greece!

I am super excited to get out in the world again after the effects of the pandemic subdue and life slowly gets back to the old normal. I try to be an ethical consumer and ethical traveler as much as I can.

What else ...

I like playing cards or board games; especially when someone teaches me a new game I've never played before! I also love playing backgammon and the Turkish game of Okey (very similar to Rummikub if you're familiar with that).

I played soccer all my life and I played rugby all four years of university. I enjoy playing all kinds of team sports and I love hiking and backpacking!

One of my biggest hobbies is hiking up a new location and finding a hidden gem like a cave or a secret beach! I would love to discover the hidden gems in your community and please tell me where the best hiking or swimming is!!

Oh and I LOVE to cook and I love even more to cook with and for people! I can teach you some Turkish and Italian dishes and I can make everything from scratch homemade lasagna and really good fried rice!
